Tokio Hotel
When: Monday 24th March 2025
Where: O2 Forum Kentish Town
Tickets here!
Right, as a half German, I must mention this gig—there’s no way around it! Another nostalgia-driven show. I remember moving from Spain to Germany around the time Tokio Hotel blew up, and how wild the emo-phase craze was and obsession of many German fans – imagine swifties now, that’s how it was back then, just in emo. I didn’t get the hype back then, neither kept up with their music, but just for the nostalgia, I’d go check them out – Schrei was a tune though. Do they even still sing some songs in German? And what happened to their cool hairstyles!
