The Celebration Tour is the fourth concert tour by German pop band No Angels. Launched in support of their sixth studio album, 20 (2021), it was originally announced as a special one-off event named Celebration Live to coincide with the twentieth release anniversary of their debut album Elle'ments (2001). [1] Following strong first day ticket sales, [2] the open-air concert was incorporated in a full-length concert tour. [2] The band's first tour in twelve years, it began on 18 June 2022 in Berlin at the Parkbühne Wuhlheide. [3] Following a longer break, it continued on 23 September and concluded on 8 October 2022.

Critical reception

Neue Westfälische editor Heimo Stefula praised the show, writing, "The quartet burned off a firework of hits in just under two hours, which was well received by the audience from the first second." [4] Hessenschau critic Anne Heigel echoed his statements. She wrote: "In Frankfurt, there was deafening applause, beaming faces and pure nostalgia." Heigel noted that the band performed without "any complex stage sets" but instead offered "joint dance choreographies" and some "well-known classics." [5]

Christof Hammer from Stuttgarter Nachrichten was ambivalent about the "fairly conventionally staged program," some "unstable" vocal performances and the "rather dull" sound inside the Liederhalle, but concluded: "Much more [...] counts on this evening: The emotions between a band and its fans, the memories of the carefree youth of the 2000s and the warm feeling of still being there twenty years later and reuniting. Every song, every word from the stage becomes real soul food, the whole concert is almost a happening [...] Seen from this angle: An evening perfectly suited to times like these." [6]

Release

With much of their opening concert at the Parkbühne Wuhlheide tracked by a film crew, on 27 January 2023, the band began releasing videos of their performances that night on their YouTube account. [7]
