Christian Steiffen - Ich komme! 2026

On December 12, 2026, Christian Steiffen will present his program Ich komme! 2026 at the Sparkassen-Arena Aurich. Behind the name is musician and actor Hardy Schwetter from Osnabrück, who has been performing as Steiffen since the 2000s — a deliberately crafted schlager persona with a clear 1970s/1980s aesthetic. Musically he blends schlager, pop and humorous chansons, with narrative lyrics and a staging that stays close to musical cabaret. Live he performs with a band, often as the Haselandorchester, and relies on memorable choruses, deadpan announcements and short scenes between songs.

The set brings together pieces from Arbeiten wo andere Urlaub machen (2013), Ferien vom Rock’n’Roll (2016), Gott of Schlager (2019) and Göttlich (2022) alongside current material. Ich komme! 2026 consolidates this approach into a compact evening between concert and theatrical performance: retro-inspired sound, narrative momentum and a stage persona that carries the stories. The result is a show that demonstrates Christian Steiffen’s versatility without losing sight of the through-line of his artistic character.
