Overview

  • Michael Wendler's comeback concert is confirmed for Saturday at Diskothek Prater in Bochum, with additional shows planned in Datteln, Salzwedel, and Oberhausen.
  • The Bochum event has seen strong ticket demand, with presales nearly sold out and remaining tickets available at the door.
  • Wendler's career derailed in 2020 due to his promotion of COVID-19 conspiracy theories and trivialization of National Socialism, leading to widespread backlash and canceled appearances.
  • His return follows several canceled bookings, including in Beelitz and Legden, where public opposition led organizers to drop his performances.
  • Now residing in Florida, Wendler has used social media to promote his comeback, emphasizing his continued support from fans despite ongoing criticism.
