Mark Forster Announces 2026 Live Tour with All-Acoustic Band
German pop star Mark Forster has announced a 2026 tour, promising fully live performances without backing tracks. In a recent interview, Forster revealed he now goes to bed before 10 p.m. and has quit alcohol, but his stage energy remains high. He expressed disillusionment with football, citing the 2022 Qatar World Cup and FIFA's greed as reasons. Forster also discussed his newfound interest in religion and the Bible, a shift from his Catholic upbringing. The tour will feature a band that includes two professors. Forster's 2016 hits "Chöre" and "Wir sind groß" were official songs for the European Championship, but he now feels disconnected from the sport.
