Nostalgie & Traurigkeit Tour 2025 – Schrotthagen – Batschkapp – Frankfurt a. M.

The concept: The world is at a turning point. Uncertainty and fear determine the sense of time, while humanity is losing touch with nature and itself. Schrotthagen captures this atmosphere - with nostalgia, romance and a longing for a world that may soon no longer exist. Their new album is a reflection on destruction and rebirth , on the social life that we have to relearn. Musically, it is a journey through decades , a homage to the 80s, 90s and 2000s , wrapped in a cinematic soundscape of techno, trance and cinematic elements . The influences from pop culture, orchestral drama and pulsating club sounds merge into a unique experience - the typical Schrotthagen sound design , this time more precise, more epic and with an even stronger common thread.

A Journey in Five Acts – Musical & Visual Dramaturgy

The album follows a unique release strategy: each single tells a part of the story – bothmusically and visually. Short films were made for each single released, continuing the story of the first Schrotthagen video. On August 15th, everything culminates in the grand finale: an elaborately produced music video that forms the narrative and visual framework of the album. The film production was once again carried out by a star team of Grimme Prize, German Camera Prize and film award winners .

Emotions, nostalgia and the big question about tomorrow

The album deals with pain, loneliness, love, longing and fear of the future . A special moment: the outro “Das Ende naht” (The end is near), which confronts us with the question of what we are already losing more and more.

Participating artists & special features

In addition to long-time companions such as Katharina Stark (known from the hit single “Pain in My Heart” ) and Cheriimoya ( Living Life in the Night ), there is another special voice this time: singer-songwriter Noah Umali , who brings an additional emotional depth to the album with his vocals.

There is also a new feature: Giovanni, the producer behind Schrotthagen, sings on some tracks himself .
