Just before kicking off their Die Welt Ist Tief Tour 2014, Die Apokalyptischen Reiter have announced their first ever acoustic tour.

After two sold out acoustic premiere shows in Berlin and Jena, the wait is over now. Die Apokalyptischen Reiter will embark their first ever acoustic tour featuring ten hand-picked shows throughout Germany. Evergreens of the extended band history will be played in a whole new sound setting. Due to the overwhelming fan reactions, the trip down memory lane continues.

 

 

Commented the band: “When we first played some acoustic shows, two years ago, we had no idea whatsoever, how the fans would react. We’ve expected anything, but not that our die-hard fans would be those to mostly appreciate it and give us padding on the back. It was just magic, very close and personal. It gives us goose bumps time and again, to play those songs we wrote as teenagers with a totally different sound. We are psyched and glad to have found very special locations that will be the right setting for those concerts.”

Sydney, Australia-based singer/songwriter, Joe Astray, has been chosen as special guest.

"Joe has gotten quite a lot of touring experience over the past few years and has shared stages with the likes of Anti-Flag or Fehlfarben. His authentic folk/punk has convinced us immediately and we're super stoked having him with us", said Die Apokalyptischen Reiter.
