Monchi Announces First Book Tour for 'Jenseits der Brandmauer'
Monchi, the frontman of the German punk group Feine Sahne Fischfilet, is set to embark on his inaugural book tour in late November 2026 to promote his second publication, 'Jenseits der Brandmauer – Über mein Leben in der ostdeutschen Provinz,' which was released on August 13. This book challenges simplistic thinking and fosters conversation in a polarized society. Residing in Rostock, Monchi examines the paradoxes of his hometown, where 54% of the electorate supported the far-right AfD. The tour will feature 23 events throughout Germany, kicking off in Warnemünde on August 12 and concluding in Berlin on January 23, 2027. Monchi will engage in readings, performances, and discussions. He has been part of Feine Sahne Fischfilet since 2006, with their latest album reaching the top of German charts in 2025.
