Cher, farewell dates and legacy of the Here We Go Again tour

Cher brought her Here We Go Again tour to Germany with arena shows in Berlin and Hamburg in October 2019, underscoring her status as a pop icon with more than 100 million records sold worldwide.

Cher remains one of pop and rock's defining voices, a singer and performer whose career has stretched across six decades and multiple musical eras. Her most recent major world trek, the Here We Go Again tour, wrapped in 2020 and included large-scale German dates, cementing her continued draw with audiences across Europe and beyond.

From Las Vegas residencies to a global run

Before launching the Here We Go Again tour, Cher spent significant time on stage in Las Vegas, where her long-running residency at Caesars Palace underscored her enduring live appeal. These shows mixed classics with newer material, preparing the ground for a tour that would take her catalog to arenas from North America to Europe.

The Here We Go Again tour began in September 2018 in Auckland, New Zealand, and carried on through multiple legs across Oceania, Europe and North America. It was framed in part around her ABBA-inspired album Dancing Queen, released in 2018, and balanced these covers with career-defining songs such as Believe and If I Could Turn Back Time.

Cher’s German arena stops on Here We Go Again

Germany played an important role in the European leg of the tour, with Cher headlining major arenas in Berlin and Hamburg in October 2019. In Berlin she performed at the Mercedes-Benz Arena, in the city’s Friedrichshain district, a modern venue that regularly hosts large-scale international acts. Hamburg saw her at the Barclaycard Arena (now Barclays Arena), another key northern German arena known for pop and rock events.

These German dates sat alongside shows in cities such as London, Paris, Amsterdam and Vienna, illustrating the tour’s broad European reach. For audiences in Germany, the concerts offered a rare chance to see a complete Cher production, including elaborate staging, dancers and rapid-fire costume changes reflecting her decades of visual reinvention.

Where Cher’s touring career stands today

Since the end of the Here We Go Again tour in 2020, Cher has not announced a new world tour, and there are currently no future live dates listed on her official channels or on major ticketing platforms for Germany or elsewhere.

The sound and span of Cher’s work

Cher’s musical identity spans several genres, from 1960s folk-rock and pop with Sonny & Cher to 1970s disco, 1980s arena rock and 1990s and 2000s dance-pop. Early singles such as I Got You Babe with Sonny & Cher positioned her within the folk-pop movement of the mid-1960s, while solo hits like Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves and Half-Breed embraced dramatic storytelling in a pop format.

By the late 1980s, Cher had pivoted towards rock, working with writers and producers who gave her songs such as If I Could Turn Back Time a stadium-sized sound. The late 1990s brought a further shift into dance-pop and electronic production, epitomized by Believe, which prominently used Auto-Tune as a creative effect and became one of the most globally influential pop singles of its era.
