Kissin’ Dynamite band leadership transition

Overview

German hard rock band Kissin’ Dynamite has performed a series of final shows as frontman Hannes Braun prepares to step down as vocalist. One sold-out performance at the ratiopharm arena earned the band the Arena Award.

While Braun is departing from his role as touring vocalist to focus on work as a producer and songwriter, he intends to remain a creative force within the group. To mark this transition, the band is releasing a self-titled album featuring new tracks and modernized recordings of older songs.

The transition will culminate in a final “The Big Goodbye” concert at the Palladium in Cologne on October 3, 2026. The event, which is currently sold out, features the modern metal band League Of Distortion as a support act. The performance is expected to cover a wide range of tracks from the band’s discography following their recent number one album on the German charts.
