What would it feel like to stroke a fat, fluffy bumblebee? Max Raabe & Palast Orchester are pursuing this and other animal-related questions with their new 2025 programme “Hummel streicheln”.

Max Raabe has a passion for animals. In his songs, he imagines venturing into the world of the bumblebee, cavorting with kangaroos and felling trees with beavers. But his thoughts also turn to the wonders of autocorrect, cycling, or just missing that perfect moment.

 

In their entertaining Hummel streicheln programme, Max Raabe and his Palast Orchester combine popular “Raabe pop” hits with timeless originals from the 1920s and ’30s such as Heute Nacht oder nie and Wenn die Elisabeth. Sit back and enjoy as Max Raabe leads us through the evening with his inimitable off-the-wall humour.
