PLAYIN' WITH MY FRIENDS - FORTY YEARS TOUR 2027

Forty Years on Stage
With his “Playin’ With My Friends – 40 Years Tour,” kicking off in early 2027, Philipp Fankhauser celebrates a remarkable career that has taken him from small clubs to the biggest stages, from his raw blues beginnings to becoming one of Europe’s most respected voices in roots music. This anniversary tour is much more than a retrospective. It is a tribute to what has always defined Fankhauser’s music: honesty, groove, authenticity, and the joy of sharing the stage with many great musicians. Since 1987!

Playin’ With My Friends is both a statement and a promise!
Look forward to a show that brings together the many chapters of his musical journey—from early blues influences to soulful highlights and fan favorites. Presented with the authenticity and emotional depth that have become Philipp Fankhauser’s trademark. Over four decades, he has earned a reputation as a masterful storyteller and expressive performer. His warm, unmistakable voice, his perfectly in-sync band, and his ability to turn every concert into a shared experience make every evening unique. On this special anniversary tour, the audience can look forward to:

• A handpicked selection of songs spanning forty years
• Musical companions and longtime collaborators who join him on stage
• Fresh arrangements, timeless classics, and a handful of new songs
• The unmistakable magic of the interplay with his musicians

Despite the anniversary, this is not a retrospective—it is a vibrant continuation. Because for Philipp Fankhauser, music has never been about nostalgia. It’s about the present. Following his return to the stage at the end of 2026, the journey continues seamlessly into 2027—with over 40 concerts planned in clubs and concert halls.
