Max Raabe & Palast Orchester

Stroking a fat, soft bumblebee – now that would be something! Max Raabe & Palast Orchester have fulfilled this wish musically – with their 2025/26 concert programme »Hummel streicheln« (Stroking Bumblebees)! 

Max Raabe loves animals. In his song »Hummel« (Bumblebee), he dreams of entering their world, putting biscuits in kangaroos' pouches or felling trees with beavers in certain places. But his thoughts also revolve around the effects of auto-correct »Nochmal von vorn« (Start again)), riding a bicycle, or – as we all know – the perfect moment that is missed. In their concert programme »Hummel streicheln«, Max Raabe & Palast Orchester have great fun combining popular »Raabe pop« hits with timeless original songs from the 1920s and 30s such as »Veronika, der Lenz ist da« or ‘»Ich tanze mit dir in den Himmel hinein«. While Max Raabe guides the audience through the programme in his quirky, humorous way, the audience can sit back and relax.
