This gives him 'hope and direction' - Roland Kaiser’s *Kaisermania* concerts drop live TV broadcasts in 2026
Roland Kaiser’s Kaisermania concerts will no longer air live on television from 2026. The decision follows ongoing complaints about the sound quality during broadcasts. Both the singer and his promoter agreed to end the live transmissions after careful consideration.
The 73-year-old artist will still take the stage, including at ZDF’s A Heart for Children charity gala on December 6, 2023. Meanwhile, he has shared personal reflections on family, harmony, and the role of dreams in life.
The change affects MDR’s long-running broadcasts of Kaisermania, which will cease after years of partnership. Criticism over TV audio issues led to the joint decision between Kaiser and his promoter, Semmel Concerts. Despite the shift, the promoter thanked MDR for their professional collaboration over the years.
Kaiser remains active in music and public appearances. His upcoming performance at ZDF’s charity event highlights his continued involvement in major productions. Beyond his career, the singer recently spoke about his priorities at 73. He described his greatest wish as spending 'beautiful moments with my family and friends'.
He also reflected on broader themes, calling for 'greater harmony in the world' and urging society to 'stay human'. Dreams, he added, give people 'hope and direction' in life. These comments came alongside updates about his future projects, including confirmed concert dates for 2025 and a tour planned for 2026.
The end of live Kaisermania broadcasts marks a shift in how fans will experience Kaiser’s performances. Future shows will continue, but without the live TV format that many viewers knew. Meanwhile, his participation in charity events and public statements show his ongoing engagement with audiences and social causes.
