Thompson 2026 tour and ~~Vukovar charity preparations~~ political opposition in Germany

Following the successful ‘Vukovar – Together for the Future’ humanitarian concert in August 2026, which raised over 1 million euros for various projects, Thompson has expanded his upcoming European tour schedule. New dates for the ‘Thompson – Live Tour 2026’ in Germany have been announced, including a performance at the Porsche-Arena in Stuttgart on 7 November 2026. Ticket sales for the Stuttgart show, which began on 16 September, saw such high demand that the event sold out in less than three hours, causing temporary technical issues with the Easy Ticket platform. Demand remains high for his 13 November performance at the Jahrhunderthalle in Frankfurt, where approximately 4,000 tickets were reportedly sold within two hours of availability. ~~These~~ However, the upcoming German dates ~~follow~~ have faced political opposition. Representatives of the Die Linke party in the Frankfurt and Stuttgart city councils have called for the urgent cancellation of the November concerts. Politicians argue the performances are political gatherings promoting ‘ethnonationalist propaganda and historical revisionism’. They specifically cited his recent ~~major performances~~ concert in ~~Croatia, including~~ Vukovar, where the ~~high-attendance shows~~ Ustaše salute ‘Za dom spremni’ was reportedly used, as evidence of spreading extremism. Die Linke members in ~~Šibenik~~ Stuttgart emphasized that taxpayer-funded venues should not be used to ‘relativize fascism or incite ethnic tensions’. Despite these calls for a ban, the concerts remain highly anticipated; the Frankfurt performance is reported as sold out, and ~~Imotski.~~ the Stuttgart show reached capacity in under three hours.
