PETER CORNELIUS & BAND - !TIMELESS!
oeticket
Kelsengasse 9, 3100 St. PÖlten
For over five decades, Peter Cornelius has been one of the most successful singer-songwriters in the German-speaking world. Many of his songs have long become part of the cultural canon—classics such as "Reif für die Insel," "Segel im Wind," and of course "Du entschuldige i kenn di." In 2026, this exceptional artist will turn 75 and celebrate with a major tour!
The frontman, singer-songwriter, and lead guitarist Peter Cornelius, known for his heartfelt ballads and uptempo songs with profound lyrics, and also loved for his virtuosic guitar playing, will celebrate his 75th birthday in 2026 with a grand tour. Joining him on stage will be his band, which includes bass, drums, and keyboards.
Cornelius, who was born in Vienna in 1951, is one of the most influential German-speaking songwriters. His music is always inspired by personal experiences and societal observations. "Sometimes I write and compose, whether I want to or not—reflexively. As if it were the most natural thing in the world to do." Much of this can be heard in his songs. They are a wonderful collection of windows that allow glimpses into the man's innermost self over the years.
In his concerts, the audience is taken on a journey and immersed in the world he brings with him. "Strangely, going on tour at 75 feels more natural to me than at 40 or 50. I adopted the song 'I'm not like everybody else' by the Kinks as my life motto very early on—as a guiding principle." With each song, Cornelius provides energy, encouragement, often provokes thought, and sometimes there is meaning hidden between the lines, guiding his audience to the nuances.
His songs are complete works of art, written in his unmistakable style. "Over the years, people have often told me that my songs are timeless. I am timeless." Peter Cornelius & Band Live is an absolutely timeless highlight of the concert calendar for 2026!
