The “THOMAS ANDERS …SINGS MODERN TALKING” tour 2026 came to a sensational close in Vienna on March 28th, leaving fans’ hearts racing with excitement! Thomas Anders, one of the biggest icons of the 80s, demonstrated with his sensational German tour just how powerful timeless music can be. The enthusiasm was overwhelming: three of the seven cities were completely sold out, and the others were nearly so – an extraordinary success that impressively reflects the huge response to this tour.
Seven unforgettable evenings, seven breathtaking cities across Germany and Austria – and every single show a true highlight! To celebrate Modern Talking’s 40th anniversary, Thomas Anders took his fans on an emotional journey back to the 80s that left nothing to be desired: The hits from the first six Modern Talking albums, newly staged in modern Dolby Atmos sound, met with the unbroken enthusiasm of an audience that was captivated from the first to the last minute and experienced an unforgettable time.
A true highlight of the show was the innovative use of modern technology: A younger Thomas from the heyday of Modern Talking appeared on an impressive video wall – AI-generated as a duet partner to his current self. This extraordinary fusion of past and present left audiences in awe and with lasting impressions night after night. Tour promoter Jan Mewes aptly summarizes the concert experience: “An evening that set new standards. Sold-out venues in Germany’s largest cities speak for themselves. Thomas Anders has shown that music that touches people connects them forever. This tour was truly something special. Therefore, we are already working hard on planning for 2027.”
Another highlight: At the concert on March 20, 2026, at the Hamburg Congress Center (CCH), the successful project “Thomas Anders… sings Modern Talking” was awarded a Gold Award for over 75,000 units sold. The award was personally presented to the entire team by Thomas Anders and Christian Geller. This honor recognized not only the album’s commercial success, but above all, the dedication and passion of everyone involved behind the scenes. “This award is a thank you to an exceptional team who made this project possible with such heartfelt commitment,” said Thomas Anders during the ceremony. The event provided a celebratory setting where artists, producers, and partners could raise a glass to the success together. The project “Thomas Anders… sings Modern Talking” builds on the great successes of past decades and continues to inspire both longtime fans and new generations.
Mastermind Christian Geller also emphasized the special significance of the project: “Modern Talking has been a very special topic for me for as long as I can remember. I’m all the more pleased that, fittingly for the anniversary, we’ve apparently made it a timely topic once again – both in recorded and live performances!” Seven.One Starwatch supported the release of the six “Thomas Anders…sings Modern Talking” albums with a strategic, multi-month TV campaign on the ProSiebenSat.1 Eins network. The long-standing and trusting partnership culminated in extraordinary success: all six albums landed in the Top 10 of the German album charts.
The Gold Award underscores the enduring popularity of the songs and their special connection with the audience. The celebratory presentation at the CCH Hamburg will remain an unforgettable moment for everyone involved – an evening dedicated to music and shared success.
