Love him or roll your eyes at him – if you're in the folk music scene in this country, you simply can't ignore Andreas Gabalier. The man with the Styrian accordion and leather trousers packs out venues like there's no tomorrow. And now, there's some massive news: The 39-year-old hasn't just signed a new multi-million euro deal for his live shows, but has also announced his next major tour. The motto is “Ein Hulapalu auf uns – Tour 2025” – and anyone who's experienced his recent concerts knows: it's going to be another raucous party where everyone's singing along.

The Deal Everyone's Talking About

There's been chatter in the industry for a while that Gabalier is securing his future in a big way. Now it's official: A new contract with one of Europe's biggest concert promoters not only guarantees his financial freedom, but also gives him the scope to make his shows even larger, even more spectacular. When he kicks off the “Ein Hulapalu auf uns” tour in 2025, fans are going to go absolutely wild – and the critics will, as always, struggle to keep up with the overwhelming enthusiasm.

A Little Controversy is a Must

Things are never completely quiet with the "Buschbaberl." Recently, another comment of his riled up some followers. Social media was abuzz with discussions, arguments, and jokes. But Gabalier wouldn't be Gabalier if he let that throw him off. He remains true to himself: straightforward, sometimes uncomfortable, but always authentic. Tickets for the 2025 tour will still fly off the shelves – of that I'm certain.

Outfits for the Big Night

If you want to dance at the concert in a Dirndl, you don't need to spend a fortune. The Andreas Gabalier Collection by Krüger offers traditional attire with a modern twist. Particularly sought-after is the red Dirndl in the 60 cm length – a real head-turner. But there are also seconds / 2nd choice options of these models. Minor imperfections don't make the Dirndl any less beautiful, but they do make it a lot more affordable. Perfect for everyone who wants to celebrate at the "Hulapalu" without breaking the bank. Just browse through Krüger's collection – maybe that red midi Dirndl is waiting just for you.

The Discography: From the Beginnings to Today

A look at Andreas Gabalier's discography shows just how far the journey from his first attempts to stardom has been. Here's a small selection of his albums:

  • “Da komm' ich her” (2009) – the debut that started it all.
  • “Volks-Rock'n'Roller” (2011) – his breakthrough, featuring hits like “I sing a Liad für di”.
