TOURDATA
Brucknerstraße 39, 4910 Ried im Innkreis
Amy Macdonald dances to her own melody. The highly regarded singer-songwriter, one of Scotland's most successful musical exports of all time, has long been celebrated for her indomitable spirit – a spirit that is reflected in both her music and her legendary live performances. The commercial success speaks for itself: over 12 million records sold worldwide, four Top-5 albums (including two number-one placements), more than a billion streams, and five million monthly listeners on Spotify alone – not to mention worldwide tours in front of millions of people. Now she is ready to remind the world once again why we fell in love with her in the first place, as she returns with a bold new collection of songs: Is This What You’ve Been Waiting For? Her sixth album marks a new chapter in her extraordinary career, which began when she was just 18 years old. She became famous by sending a demo to a new production company while her peers were being discovered on MySpace. Her debut album This Is the Life was one of the ten best-selling albums of 2008 and catapulted Macdonald to international fame with singles like the title track – which later made a comeback after younger generations discovered it through viral TikTok clips – and the Top-20 single "Mr. Rock and Roll." This was followed by a series of Top-10 albums, sold-out world tours, and numerous awards, including two Echo Awards (the German Grammys).
Is This What You’ve Been Waiting For? showcases Macdonald at the peak of her songwriting prowess, telling stories of heartbreak, triumph, and hope. "Each song has its own little story, that's how I usually write," she explains. She vividly recalls a moment at the TRNSMT Festival in Glasgow when she looked into the crowd and realized how many young fans were in attendance: "I was afraid it would be terrible, that they wouldn't have any idea who I am – and then it turned out to be one of the greatest performances of my life," she says. "This younger generation, who had just been completely let down by Covid, the government, by everything, and they were so happy, full of life. I thought: We are in good hands."
Alexander Eder & Band create a sound universe of energetic German pop-rock music, driven by their distinctive, striking voice. Alexander Eder and his band have quickly carved out a solid place in the music scene. Together, they generate a sound world that oscillates between motivation and rebellion, love and pure escalation. Each song becomes an anthem that reaches both the heart and the mind – sometimes emotional, sometimes wild, always authentic. With their third studio album "Quer durch die Bank," they made an immediate impact on the German charts, debuting at number 9, and reaching number 4 in the Austrian charts. The album embodies everything that Alexander Eder, Lukas Husak, Jakob Plochberger, Alexander Bauer, and Daniel Schatz stand for: powerful lyrics, energetic hits that open and close the album.
The current album sets the tone for the third and most successful (self-titled) tour in 2026 through Austria, Germany, and Switzerland. Songs like "1 Mal um die Welt" (featuring Vincent and Dag-Alexis from SDP) or "Der allerletzte Tanz" showcase the band's versatility and their ability to create goosebump moments as well as explosive live energy. Alexander Eder & Band celebrate life in all its facets with every word in every song – sometimes emotional, sometimes wild, and always authentic – transforming every stage into a place of pure energy and community.
The wait is over! Alexander Eder & Band are ready to kick off their eagerly anticipated album tour and shake the big stages with their performance. ...an unforgettable live experience, with captivating riffs and unstoppable energy.
