Howard Carpendale returns to Gelsenkirchen in 2025 - fans are thrilled!

The anticipation is big among the fans of Howard Carpendale. On Thursday, August 29, his team announced on Instagram that the 78-year-old hit star is planning an open-air tour through Germany in the summer of 2025 and will give a concert in Gelsenkirchen. Specific appointment: July 24, 2025, in the popular amphitheater of the Nordsternpark. The regionality is particularly important here, since only one of the five appointments takes place in North Rhine-Westphalia, which encourages the local ones.

The last appearance of Carpendale in the same place was only one and a half years ago when he almost had to cancel almost a concert in early 2024. Fortunately, the event could be carried out at the time, and around 6,000 spectators were enthusiastic. So now it is back - but there are also shadows above the gratifying news.

health concerns

The anticipation is overshadowed by some worries. Some fans worry about Carpendale's health because this year he had to cancel a few concerts due to knee problems. Ultimately, the popular artist even had to be operated on. These health challenges raise questions about planning the upcoming tour, especially since the ticket sales on Friday, August 30th are already opened.

Some fans express concerns: "This is an early start of the ticket verkaus. I hope Howard does not underestimate the knee surgery and can get fit again until then." Similar fears also share other supporters who want Carpendale to find its old level of form. "That sounds good, but I think Mr. Carpendale has to get well," is another voice from the fan community.

With a view to the tour, however, those responsible seem optimistic. The Howard Carpendale team is confident that the singer will get his health back in for the tour. "Howard will then be traveling with his band on selected open-air stages in Germany and celebrate another musical festival with a selection of his biggest hits," says the team.

tour dates at a glance

The open-air tour comprises a total of five concerts in Germany. Here are the most important dates:

  • 19. June: Dresden (Junge Garde)
  • 20. June: Northeim (Waldbühne)
  • 24. July: Gelsenkirchen (amphitheater)
  • 26. July: Schwerin (open -air stage)
  • 29. August: Altusried (open -air stage)

For the fans in the Ruhr area, the appointment in Gelsenkirchen is not only logistically ideal, but also a reason to be happy, since the South African is always known for gripping appearances. It remains to be seen whether Howard Carpendale has recovered completely by the concert, but the anticipation for a new appearance in the familiar environment remains unbroken. Despite the worries about his health, a large fan base keeps his fingers crossed that the musician will enter the stage full of energy in July 2025.
