Back on Stage: Veysel Announces the IMIGRANTE TOUR 2026

In 2026, Veysel returns to the stage with a full headline tour.
With the IMIGRANTE TOUR 2026, the Essen-based rapper brings his unmistakable presence back to major venues across Germany. Six cities, six nights – and live shows that make Veysel’s intensity, charisma and raw energy fully tangible. After a handful of selected appearances in recent years, this marks his first complete tour in a long time, bringing together audiences from across the country.

Veysel is far more than a successful rapper. He has become a defining figure in contemporary German pop culture. Musically, his breakthrough came no later than 2017 with the album Hitman, which entered the Official German Album Charts directly in the Top 10 and remained there for several weeks. Further releases followed, charting in the Top 20, alongside five Top-10 singles and numerous Gold and Platinum certifications in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Tracks such as “Kleiner Cabrón”, “Habibo” and “Uff” have since become genre-defining hits, reaching millions of listeners.

Yet Veysel’s impact cannot be measured by charts alone. His deep, distinctive voice, his intense temperament and, above all, his strong on-stage charisma have made him a magnetic presence – not only in music, but also on screen. As an actor, he reached a wide audience through his leading role as Abbas Hamady in the critically acclaimed series 4 Blocks, a landmark of modern German television that received numerous awards, including the German Television Award and the Grimme Prize. Leading roles in productions such as Asbest and Testo followed, solidifying his reputation as a serious actor whose appeal extends far beyond the rap scene.

It is precisely this dual career that makes Veysel unique. He is one of the few German artists who does not separate music and acting, but approaches them as interconnected forms of expression. Raised in Germany’s Ruhr region with Kurdish-Turkish roots, his biography shapes both his artistic voice and his personal stance. Respect, loyalty and authenticity are central values – reflected equally in his lyrics and his screen performances. As a result, his fan base today spans generations: from long-time rap listeners to audiences who discovered him through television and film.

Experiencing Veysel live means witnessing an artist who knows his story and tells it with confidence – without posturing, without clichés. The IMIGRANTE TOUR 2026 offers exactly that opportunity: to experience one of the most distinctive and influential characters of the German rap scene where his impact is strongest – on stage.
