| Tokio Hotel release their new album ENCORE via BELIEVE, sharing a video for its latest single, “Perfect Ending.” With the release of the record, Tokio Hotel have launched an album-centric “ENCORE: Tokio Hotel” podcast delving deep into the writing and production over the course of 12 episodes. |
| The German emo-pop giants will support the record with a nearly sold-out arena tour, kicking off October 28 in London. Tokio Hotel previously announced summer 2027 European tour dates, with North American tour dates in the works for later in the year [all announced dates below]. |
| Tokio Hotel are currently experiencing a new international career high, driven by their massive social media presence. Vocalist and queer icon Bill Kaulitz, and twin brother/guitarist Tom Kaulitz have been announced as guest hosts of Germany’s biggest Saturday night television show, Wetten, Dass…? on December 5. With the success of their Netflix series “Kaulitz & Kaulitz,” the band now reaches a cross-generational audience of longtime fans and a new, young fan community. |
| Four childhood friends from a small city in Germany, Bill, Tom, bassist Georg Listing and drummer Gustav Schäfer, have seen it all over the past two plus decades, and with that experience have continually evolved on their own terms. ENCORE, the band’s first album in four years, brings their artistic freedom, emotional intensity and distinctive identity into the present with 12 tracks that are both bold and defiant. |
Singles, such as the defiant “Dye My Hair,” provide an unapologetically honest statement about liberation from relationships, preconceived notions and opinions that can hold you back. The track is a driving anthem about breaking free from toxic relationships and reclaiming your own identity. The lyrics offer an unfiltered look at what it means to lose yourself, detailing how you neglect your own friends, grow to hate your own hometown and alter your appearance just to please someone else. But instead of lingering in the pain, the song flips the perspective. It celebrates the liberating moment of taking back control and the confident realization that you have finally found your way back to yourself. A running theme throughout ENCORE. |
| While “Without You,” offers a more direct, vulnerable and emotionally unfiltered view of the band. A look behind the curtain after so many years in the spotlight and tabloids. |
| There may be a hint of nostalgia from a band that formed when they were 12, only to explode while still in their teens, and grow up in the spotlight. But with that comes a sense of confidence in who they are, what they do, and an appreciation of the millions of fans who continue to join them on the journey. |
