The Beatles remain a defining name in rock and pop, and in October 2026 their songs will return to German stages through The Beatles Tribute Show with US band Rain. According to ticketing platform Kontramarka, the production plays six German cities between October 13 and 20, 2026.
German 2026 dates for The Beatles Tribute Show
The core of the announcement is a compact German tour in mid-October 2026 under the title The Beatles Tribute Show, performed by Rain, a long-running Beatles tribute act from the US. The listing on Kontramarka names six evening shows in Nürnberg, Berlin, Dresden, Mainz, Köln and Freiburg, all scheduled for 8:00 p.m.
Kontramarka’s overview shows the run starting on October 13, 2026 at Meistersingerhalle kleiner Saal in Nürnberg, followed by Columbia Theater in Berlin on October 15, Parkhotel Ballsaal in Dresden on October 16, Frankfurter Hof in Mainz on October 18, Gloria Theater in Köln on October 19 and Jazzhaus in Freiburg on October 20, all at 8:00 p.m. local time, giving fans across southern and western Germany multiple options to hear Beatles songs live again in a theater setting. The Kontramarka tour listing underlines that the Köln date at Gloria Theater is already marked as sold out.
Berlin and Freiburg listings confirm venues and prices
For fans based in Germany, Berlin and Freiburg are particularly well documented. The official Freiburg tourism portal lists The Beatles Tribute Show - 2026 Tour at Jazzhaus Freiburg on Tuesday, October 20, 2026 at 8:00 p.m., with ticket prices between €45.90 and €49.90, confirming both the venue and the price range for at least one stop of the tour.

Kontramarka’s listing for Berlin specifies that The Beatles Tribute Show in Germany 2026 will visit Columbia Theater on Thursday, October 15, 2026 at 8:00 p.m., aligning with the 8:00 p.m. start times across the run.
