Guano Apes, Free The Monkey Tour

The Guano Apes have truly relaxed. Instead of submitting to the mechanisms of the market, the band from Göttingen has broken away from it. They don't produce new records every six months, preferring instead to hit the stage whenever the urge strikes. But then the relaxation is over: anyone who was on the first post-pandemic tour, anyone who experienced one of the powerful concerts at major festivals, knows this.

From the opening bars of the quite programmatic opener "You Can't Stop Me" through all the hits to the final crashing chord of the encore "Lords of the Boards," the Guano Apes let the wild beast run wild and literally rocked every audience. This, too, can be described as groundbreaking: While the world is becoming increasingly digital, the Guano Apes are going into opposition and demanding the analogue. Or as they put it themselves: "We are closer to apes than to AI. And there is a primal force inherent in humans, the Old World apes: the urge for freedom. We have been supporting this tonally, together with our audience, for around three decades. In the midst of the AI ​​revolution and digital detachment, grounding and understanding humanity in nature is more important than ever. With our handcrafted sound, we want to bring the audience back to their inner compass, reset them to their basic settings with a tonal tapping, and thus free their inner ape."

This will also be the case in 2026: The Guano Apes have now confirmed that they are back on tour. And of course, a stop in Vienna is a must!
