Van Halen remain one of the defining names in rock, even though the original band is no longer touring. In 2026, fans in Germany can still experience the group’s songs live through dedicated tribute nights listed by local venues and ticketing platforms.
Tribute dates in FĂĽrth and Bad Friedrichshall
The most concrete German anchor this year is a show titled A Tribute to Van Halen at Kofferfabrik in Fürth on September 25, 2026, with the venue listing tickets from €19 and an evening start time around 8:00 p.m. local time according to the club’s event information as summarized in recent coverage of German dates.
A second German date is confirmed for December 5, 2026, under the title Savatage & Van Halen Tribute Night at Lemmy’s Bar in Bad Friedrichshall, scheduled to begin at 9:00 p.m. and promoted as a club show with tribute bands Sirens and San Dalen handling the Savatage and Van Halen material respectively according to the Lemmy’s Bar event listing.
How German tribute acts keep Van Halen’s catalog alive
The Bad Friedrichshall date is part of a program marketed specifically as Savatage & Van Halen Tribute Night, with Sirens billed as Germany’s first Savatage tribute act and San Dalen advertised alongside them as the band performing Van Halen songs in full-band arrangements at Lemmy’s Bar in December on the regional event portal.
Listings for Sirens & San Dalen on international concert platform Perto highlight the same December 5, 2026 show in Bad Friedrichshall under the Savatage & Van Halen Tribute Night banner, confirming it as the only currently advertised German tour stop for this specific pairing in the 2026 calendar in the 2026/2027 event overview.
