Max Raabe & Palast Orchester - Stroking a Bumblebee

Petting Bumblebees

Petting a fat, soft bumblebee would be something! Max Raabe & Palast Orchester have musically fulfilled this wish with their new concert program for 2025, “Petting Bumblebees”! Max Raabe loves animals. In his song “Bumblebee,” he dreams himself into their world, wanting to put cookies into kangaroo pouches or, at certain spots, fell trees with beavers. His thoughts also revolve around the effects of autocorrect (“Starting over again”), riding a bike, or – as we know – the perfect moment that gets missed. In the concert program "Petting Bumblebees," Max Raabe & Palast Orchester have a blast with popular "Raabe-Pop" hits, blending them with timeless original titles from the 1920s and 30s, such as "Tonight or Never" or "When Elisabeth." While Max Raabe humorously guides the audience through the program, the inclined audience can sit back and relax. By the way, it’s worth buzzing… no… zooming in on the social media of Max Raabe & Palast Orchester. In the coming weeks, funny video clips for the song “Bumblebee” will be released there.
