Overview
- Roland Kaiser and organizer Semmel Concerts jointly decided to halt MDR’s live transmissions from 2026, while the Dresden concerts continue as planned.
- Four 2026 shows are scheduled for July 31, August 1, August 7 and August 8 at the Elbufer.
- Ticket presale begins on November 11 at 3 p.m. CET via Eventim, capped at four personalized tickets per fan per date to deter resale.
- MDR said its signal from Dresden was clean during the 2025 broadcast, whereas the organizer later acknowledged technical errors in the TV audio and said they are under analysis.
- The concerts had been televised by MDR since 2013, and viewers widely complained on social media about thin, uneven sound during the 2025 airing.
