Andreas Gabalier inspires 15,000 fans in Coburg – a fairy tale comes true!

Coburg experienced a real folk festival in the summer of 2025, when the popular folk rock'n'roller Andreas Gabalier performed on the sold-out Schlossplatz. With 15,000 enthusiastic fans who wanted to experience the “folk rock’n’roll fairy tale world”, the evening was an unforgettable experience. Gabalier himself stayed at the picturesque Schloss Hohenstein romantic hotel during his stay and later shared a picture of his tattooed leg on Instagram as proof of his presence in Coburg. “It was hard for me to drive away from this place,” he wrote with a smiling face and a tear.

Gabalier, born on November 21, 1984 in Friesach, Austria, has become one of the most successful musicians in German-speaking countries since his first public concerts in 2008. The artist, who is known for his authenticity and his unusual stage design, captivates the audience with hits such as “I sing a Liad für di”, “Amoi seg’ ma unswieder” and “Hulapalu”. In total, he has collected more than 300,000 visitors at over 26 concerts in Germany, Austria and Switzerland in recent years, like regionimblick.de reported.

Live highlights and achievements

2023 was a year full of highlights for Gabalier. He concluded his acclaimed “DIRNDL-WAHNSINN-HULAPALU!” tour with two sold-out shows in Linz and Vienna. He once again exceeded all expectations and proved that the enthusiasm for his music is unbroken. His most notable show took place in front of over 90,000 spectators in Munich, where he set records. Regionimblick.de reports that Gabalier is already planning new open-air dates from May 2024.

His career is not just about concerts; Gabalier has also scored numerous awards, including several gold and platinum awards, which underline his success. He has also sold over two million records and caused a sensation at various events such as “Sing my Song – The Exchange Concert”. He demonstrates not only musical skill, but also a feel for the big stage.

A look outside the box

Gabalier's roots are as colorful as his music. Growing up in Graz, he often processed the difficult times after the loss of his father and sister in his songs. “Amoi bless us again” is a homage to her. Musically influenced by greats such as Elvis Presley and Tina Turner, his style is an exciting mix of traditional folk music and modern sounds. Gabalier has also expressed his opinions in political debates, which has not only earned him recognition but also critical voices.

His artistic work, particularly the combination of traditional elements with contemporary themes, makes Gabalier a distinctive part of the modern music scene. Despite the challenges and controversies, he remains one of the most popular performers in German-speaking countries. NP-Coburg reports that the Carinthian native has a good knack for what his fans love with his refreshing manner and impressive live performances.

With his mix of emotion and entertainment, Andreas Gabalier remains a fixture in the music world, and it will be exciting to see what the coming years have in store for this extraordinary artist.
