ok.thanks.goodbye - Kissing & Boxing Tour 2025

With a bang (or rather three), ok.danke.tschüss is kicking off the new year. The unicorn rock band is announcing a new album on Valentine's Day (coincidence?) titled "Kissing & Boxing," which will be released on October 10, 2025. In November, the new work will be presented live at 10 dates in Germany and Austria. As if that weren't enough big news, the album and tour announcement also brings the first teaser: the new single "What Happens." Dedicated fans know from various festival shows (including Deichbrand, Highfield, Open Flair, etc.) that the title was already played live in the summer of 2024. The wait for new music from ok.danke.tschüss has finally come to an end after a year.

After such a long time without new music, not every band can claim to still have over a quarter of a million monthly listeners. But ok.danke.tschüss has repeatedly proven that they are not a one-hit wonder, but have come to stay. With songs like "Joel," "Too Loud in the Disco," "Vincent van Gogh," or "Soldier," they have often hit the nerve of the times and have boxed their way to the top of the Spotify Viral Charts. For example, their single "Joel" has already been streamed over 6 million times, and ok.danke.tschüss are regulars in major playlists like "German Indie," "Viral Hits," and "Against the Current."

Now, ok.danke.tschüss are also part of the music publishing of Alligatoah and have intensified their collaboration after having supported him on arena tours, demonstrating that they can easily perform on the biggest stages in the country, such as in front of 15,000 people at the LANXESS Arena. Not only are ok.danke.tschüss strong live and in streaming, but they also go viral regularly on TikTok and Instagram with their clips—without following trends, dance challenges, or anything similar. ok.danke.tschüss need nothing more than their music to touch people.

Single "What Happens"
"What Happens" is not one of those songs that tells you what is right and what is wrong. Instead, with their new single, ok.danke.tschüss presents a huge question mark to the world. It’s about that point in life when you are plagued by ignorance, not knowing what will happen if you are truly brave. The inner struggle rages, and you wonder, should I really do it or should I just let it be? Kiss or box?

"This world is so broken, and you hold it together for me. I believe I would only be left with rubble if we no longer had each other."

Such a melancholic indie-pop sound has not been present in ok.danke.tschüss's music before. This is likely a hint at new sounds on the upcoming album.
