The Black Keys will bring their Peaches! era to Germany in 2026. The duo has confirmed concerts at Palladium in Cologne on September 6, 2026 and Zenith in Munich on September 9, 2026 as part of their Peaches ’n Kream World Tour ’26, according to a Ticketmaster tour overview and the band’s official website.
German dates on the Peaches ’n Kream World Tour ’26
The German stops form part of the European leg of the Peaches ’n Kream World Tour ’26, which follows extensive shows in North America and other European cities. A Ticketmaster listing for The Black Keys’ 2026 tour dates shows Palladium Köln on September 6 and Zenith in Munich on September 9 as confirmed headline dates in Germany, with tickets on sale.
The band’s own tour page also lists Palladium Cologne and Zenith Munich among the late-summer 2026 concerts, underlining that Germany sits alongside Amsterdam, Bern, Milan and other European cities on the route. The Cologne show at Palladium gives fans in western Germany an arena-scale indoor date, while Munich’s Zenith anchors the southern German stop.
How the wider 2026 tour is structured
The Peaches ’n Kream World Tour ’26 is billed as a major run in support of the band’s 2026 studio album Peaches!. A Ticketmaster tour schedule outlines a sequence of North American shows beginning in spring 2026, followed by a European stretch that includes Amsterdam, Cologne, Bern, Munich, Milan, Madrid and Istanbul among other cities.
Live-listing platforms such as Songkick also group the Palladium Cologne concert on September 6, 2026 within a block of European dates that feature Amsterdam’s AFAS Live on September 5 and Bern’s Festhalle on September 7. This places the German shows at the center of a compact Central European run that will be of particular interest to fans based in Germany and neighboring countries.

How Peaches! fits into their catalog
The tour is tied directly to the album Peaches!, which The Black Keys released as their fourteenth studio record. The band’s official store describes Peaches! as a visceral and raw 10-song collection and notes that it continues their collaboration with Warner Records and Dan Auerbach’s Easy Eye Sound label.
Across their catalog, The Black Keys have often paired compact, blues-rooted songs with a lo-fi edge and later expanded into a more polished rock sound on albums such as Brothers and El Camino. By placing Peaches! at the center of a world tour that includes major European halls, they signal that this record sits alongside their key releases rather than being treated as a minor side project.
Where the band stands now
The next officially confirmed live date for The Black Keys is September 6, 2026 at Palladium in Cologne, Germany, followed by Zenith in Munich on September 9, 2026.
