Colour Haze to Continue 30th Anniversary Touring in 2025

A short time after I took the above photo at Bear Stone Festival this past July in Croatia, I stood by the side of the stage with an assemblage from among the media-types brought in to cover the fest. I had been singing Colour Haze‘s praises before the set, as one will, and as a few turned to me with now-knowing smiles, I said flat out they’re my favorite band in the world to watch on a stage.

What’s worse, I think I meant it.

Wildly influential yet singular in their character, the (mostly) German four-piece comprised of guitarist/vocalist Stefan Koglek, bassist Mario Oberpucher, drummer Manfred Merwald and keyboardist/synthesist Jan Faszbender will continue to tour celebrating the band’s 30th anniversary early next year, following up on 2024 dates heralding the same cause. Whatever the reason, get to a Colour Haze gig if you can. There were rumors around of North American touring next year too. I haven’t heard anything solid in that regard as yet, but, well, a boy can hope. Any year you get to see them play is a good one.

Note that El Padre El Don is a new father-son duo from Mario Lalli and Dino Von Lalli, who feature together otherwise in Fatso Jetson. They’ll have desert-mainstay Sean Wheeler (see also Mario Lalli and the Rubber Snake Charmers) with them for a few dates as well, while no less than UK expectation-destroyers Josiah will provide direct support for the bulk of the dates. You can’t go wrong here.
