CHRIS ISAAK - LIVE 2026

Following his triumphant return to German concert stages last summer, Chris Isaak announces an exclusive show for July 13 in Essen at the Lichtburg. The enthusiastically received performances in Cologne, Berlin, and at the Stimmen Festival in Lörrach in summer 2024 demonstrated that the Californian artist has lost none of his stage presence despite a 12-year hiatus from Germany. Over nearly four decades of career, this multi-platinum and Grammy-nominated singer and actor Chris Isaak has performed with his longtime band Silvertone in sold-out venues worldwide.

His musical and film legacy encompasses thirteen critically acclaimed studio albums, twelve chart-topping singles, and several feature films, including "The Silence of the Lambs", "Twin Peaks", and "That Thing You Do!". His work has also taken him behind the scenes - he composed music for several film soundtracks, including "Eyes Wide Shut", "True Romance", "Wild at Heart", and "Blue Velvet". Isaak starred in his own critically acclaimed television series "The Chris Isaak Show" on SHOWTIME, served as a judge on "The X Factor (Australia)", and hosted the music talk show "The Chris Isaak Hour" on BIO. 2019 marked the 30th anniversary of Isaak's beloved "Heart-Shaped World" album, which features his greatest hit and breakthrough "Wicked Game". Isaak was recently honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award for Performance from Americana Honors.

The diverse programme features classics from his entire repertoire, such as "Wicked Game", "Blue Hotel", "Baby Did A Bad Thing", and covers like "Can't Help Falling in Love" and "Pretty Woman", underscoring the timelessness and mastery of this exceptional artist.
