Overview

• Live Nation has scheduled Naidoo’s first concert in six years for Dec. 16 in Cologne’s Lanxess Arena under the title “Bei meiner Seele.”
• Tickets for the Dec. 16 show sold out in presale and a second performance has been set for Dec. 17 to meet overwhelming fan demand.
• The concerts follow a six-year hiatus triggered by accusations of antisemitism, racism and the promotion of COVID-19 conspiracy theories.
• In 2022 Naidoo issued a video apology stating “I said and did things I now regret” in an effort to repair his reputation.
• Two hate-speech charges for alleged Volksverhetzung are still pending at the Landgericht Mannheim ahead of the scheduled performances.
