Following the release of its latest album, Knüppel aus dem Sack (2022), German medieval folk rock outfit Schandmaul eagerly anticipates an incredible festival season in 2025, culminating in the Folkfield Festival, which will take place on 13 September at the Amphitheater Gelsenkirchen (tickets are already available).
After a short live break, Schandmaul will kick off its December 2025 German highlight tour, Eisheilige Nacht, presented by Subway To Sally. To set the mood for the live experience, the band has served a music video for the fan anthem, "Irgendwann" (Eng. Someday), from its latest album. The video was recorded at last year's Folkfield Festival edition.
Schandmaul states: "Dear friends and fans, we are infinitely happy that, after Thomas' battle with cancer, we were able to celebrate our Folkfield Festival (25 Years +1) last year with 10,000 enthusiastic fans. That's why we don't want to withhold a look back at this unforgettable concert weekend from you - accompanied by our song 'Irgendwann'. The lyrics of 'Irgendwann' fit so well with the challenges we have overcome in the past few years:
'Irgendwann werden wir uns wieder gegenüberstehen
Ich glaub' daran
Irgendwann werden wir uns wieder in die Augen sehen
Und dann fangen wir von vorne an'
(Eng.: Someday we will stand face to face again
That's what I believe in
Someday we will look into each other's eyes again
And then we'll start over from the beginning)
2025 looks fantastic for us, with more highlights and concerts than we've had in years!" Link
