SEBASTIAN KRUMBIEGEL - KOMPASS - Tour 2026

As a little boy I sang in the choir of Saint Thomas
I sang songs to people in the church
My teacher was Johann Sebastian Bach
Mostly it was about Jesus
(Hallelujah)

On KOMPASS, the new album by Die Prinzen frontman Sebastian Krumbiegel, it is not about Jesus at all. Instead it's about Elon Musk's tax return, the Little Prince, the fact that 2+2=5, why we shouldn't be afraid despite everything and should rather dream of a better world, and of course about music. About more music.

By the way: in the last 12 months Sebastian Krumbiegel played nearly 70 concerts and wrote nearly 70 songs. He tested them thoroughly, rearranged, discarded, created. The result: his new album KOMPASS.

As you can see, Sebastian Krumbiegel loves writing songs and performing live. He also loves not only entertaining his audience but also talking with them before, during and after his shows. In these conversations it gradually became clear that his audience in these difficult times yearns for positive songs. In this way, the audience became the compass for the song selection on the album. KOMPASS contains 14 songs in which the glass is always half full, the grass is always green, and the light at the end of the tunnel never comes from an oncoming locomotive. Krumbiegel himself, as he says, had no desire for sad songs. Anyone who thinks the artist would drift into shallow waters is mistaken: Krumbiegel manages, as few others do, to balance entertainment with reflection, criticism with optimism.

Sebastian Krumbiegel is a man who believes. He believes in the power of art, in the possibility of change for the better, and his songs speak precisely of this faith. He reminds us not to forget the dream of another, more harmonious world. And he does it without sentimentality.
