Matthias Reim - VERDAMMT, ICH LIEB DICH – Die Jubiläums-Tournee - TEIL 2

Matthias Reim - DAMN, I LOVE YOU – The Anniversary Tour - Part 2

“Verdammt, ich lieb Dich” was the catchy tune that stayed stuck in everyone’s head across Germany for months on end. With it, Matthias Reim shot to the top of the German charts more than 35 years ago and remained there for nearly 16 weeks. The song and its accompanying debut album, “Reim” (1990), remain among the best-selling German-language records to this day and laid the foundation for his extraordinary career. Following his acclaimed anniversary tour in 2026, he will continue his impressive success story with a summer tour in 2027. “Verdammt, ich lieb’ Dich – The Anniversary Tour – Part 2”

For more than 35 years, Matthias Reim has been synonymous with hits that bring people together. In 2026, he’ll celebrate this phenomenal anniversary with an extensive tour of Germany and continues to thrill his cross-generational fan base with an unmistakable blend of rock, pop, Schlager, and genuine emotion. Songs like “Damn, I Love You,” “I Dreamed of You,” “It Doesn’t Matter,” and numerous other classics have long since achieved cult status and have become true milestones in German music history.

The secret to his success? His songs convey a special attitude toward life: genuine, honest, and unflinching, they tell of life’s successes and setbacks, of longing, love, freedom, and new beginnings. Matthias Reim has never made a secret of the fact that his own path hasn’t always been a straight one. Perhaps that is precisely why his songs continue to touch millions of people to this day—because they don’t describe a perfect world, but real life.

And even though his debut album alone has sold more than 1.5 million copies to date, countless gold and platinum awards adorn his walls, and his career is marked by legendary concert moments, Matthias Reim is by no means resting on his laurels. Quite the contrary—even today, he embodies pure passion and electrifying energy, and maintains an extraordinary connection with his audience—especially live on stage.

Consequently, his 2027 summer tour will also be titled “Verdammt, ich lieb’ dich”—named after the legendary hit that continues to connect fans and the artist in a wonderful way to this day. “I still love this song,” says the artist, who remains one of showbiz’s most popular stars. “The effect it has when I step onto the stage is pure magic!”
The tour, comprising a total of eleven dates in ten German cities, kicks off on May 20, 2027, in Hof (Saale). Audiences are guaranteed to enjoy all his hits—a “Best Of” selection spanning more than 35 years of highlights and, of course, the artist’s own personal favorites from his career-spanning repertoire. Additional dates are already in the works and will be announced shortly.

Anyone who has ever seen Matthias Reim live knows: This isn’t about perfection. It’s about passion, the love of music, the special atmosphere, and moments that become unforgettable memories.

All that matters is the moment. Right in the middle of summer—right in the middle of the most beautiful time of the year.
