Torsten Sträter Cancels All Shows Through March for Extended Recovery

WDR says its Facebook page is not a direct line to the artist, urging respect for his privacy.

Overview

  • Management said the comedian requires a longer-term regeneration period and did not disclose medical details.
  • No replacement dates will be offered for the many canceled shows; refunds are available via ticket vendors and venues, with Lanxess Arena ruling out exchanges.
  • WDR, which operates an official Sträter Facebook page, clarified its role and conveyed support as fan messages surged.
  • The cancellations affect major stops nationwide, including Cologne’s Lanxess Arena, Berlin’s Tempodrom and Stuttgart’s Porsche-Arena.
  • Performances from April onward remain on the published tour schedule, and a separate Lanxess Arena date is listed for January 25, 2027.
