A heartfelt Thank You For „Euphoria”

The „Euphoria" Arena Tour has come to an end. Hard to believe. It took me a while to process the countless impressions.

This was a very special tour for me, because I had set out to give you nothing but the very best on this one.

That's a highly complex undertaking. So many things have to come together and work in harmony. Technically, logistically, musically, and on a human level.

There is something truly unique about being on the road together – day after day, city after city, with so many wonderful people by my side. You don't just share the stage, but also the long nights, the few hours of sleep, the laughter behind the scenes, and the tension just before the first note. Out of all this grows something that's hard to put into words: a trust, a closeness, a kind of family for a time. And it's exactly that which carries you through every single evening.

For that, I want to thank my entire team and my fantastic special guests from the bottom of my heart. You turned every single evening into something truly special.

Julia Sanina of „The Hardkiss", Karakum, and Sarah Brightman come from entirely different musical worlds. That made it all the more beautiful for me to witness, evening after evening, how they came together within the SCHILLER world – each with her own voice, her own colour, and yet all part of the same greater whole. It was a true joy.

A very special thank-you also goes to Laserfabrik and to Jörg for the incredible laser design – you conjured images into the room that I never would have thought possible. And likewise to Stefan for the magnificent lighting design, which gave every moment exactly the mood it deserved. You turned sound into visible emotion.

But the fact that „Euphoria" felt as good as it did, I owe first and foremost to you. You, my dear audience, carried us on your hands and spoiled us with your energy.

There are moments for which our language holds no ready-made words. When the lights go down, the first notes ring out, and thousands of voices become one, I understand again why I do all of this. Not because of the grand stages, but because of what arises between us – something that can't be planned or repeated, but has to happen anew every single night.

I saw faces that lit up, and I witnessed how freely and wholeheartedly people danced. I felt how strangers become a community for a few hours – and how rare and precious that is in a time when so many of us so often remain on our own. Perhaps that is the true meaning of music: that it reminds us we belong together.

Every single evening with you left something in me that stays. I will never take it for granted that you let me be a part of your lives – and that you have become such a great part of mine. To be allowed to do all of this is an incredible gift to me – one I am grateful for anew every single day.

After the tour is before the tour: I'm incredibly excited for the „Sommerklang" Open Air concerts and can hardly wait to share unforgettable moments with you.
