Overview

This is not just a tour for fans of Tokio Hotel. It is a journey into the heart of a city that has reinvented itself and the story of four teenagers who gave this reinvention a worldwide soundtrack. Join us through the [Magdeburg] (/ˈmakdəbʊʁk/) of the post-reunification period, from the quiet banks of the Elbe to the railway station that marked a point from which there was no turning back. Discover how a German provincial city rich in history and rebuilding after its past became the unlikely cradle of an international pop rock phenomenon. This is a story about ambition, identity and the echo that a dream can leave in his hometown.
