Max Raabe & Palast Orchester - Petting the Bumblebee

Petting a Bumblebee

Petting a thick, soft bumblebee would be something! Max Raabe & Palast Orchester have musically fulfilled this wish with their new concert program for 2025, “Petting a Bumblebee”! Max Raabe loves animals. In his song “Bumblebee,” he dreams of entering 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”), riding a bike, or - as we know - the perfect moment that gets missed. In the concert program "Petting a Bumblebee," Max Raabe & Palast Orchester have fun with animals, combining popular "Raabe-Pop" hits 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 lean back and unwind. By the way, it’s worth buzzing… no… zooming into the social media of Max Raabe & Palast Orchester. In the coming weeks, funny video clips of the song “Bumblebee” will be released there.
