Tom Gaebel Announces 2026 German Tour Dates with Big Band Orchestra
COLOGNE, 4 February 2026 – Germany’s premier swing entertainer and crooner, Tom Gaebel, has confirmed a series of live performances for the 2026 season. Known as the ‘German Sinatra’, Gaebel and his orchestra are set to bring their signature big-band sound to various cities, including scheduled stops in Potsdam and Landau.
The ‘Lifelines’ Tour and Best-Of Programme
Following the success of his recent studio work, Gaebel is currently touring with a dual focus: showcasing tracks from his acclaimed album Lifelines while maintaining his popular “Best Of” programme. The 2026 dates aim to blend the nostalgia of the Rat Pack era with Gaebel’s original modern swing compositions. Fans can expect a high-energy performance supported by his full orchestra, which remains one of the few active professional big bands touring the European circuit today.
The tour highlights Gaebel’s versatility as both a vocalist and a multi-instrumentalist. Having established himself as a staple of the German jazz and swing scene over the last two decades, these 2026 appearances are expected to draw significant crowds across the federal republic.
