Fools Garden - 2027 Tour
What do a taxi driver in Oman, his Pakistani, Indian, and German passengers, Colombian English teachers, cover bands in the Maldives, Indonesian TikTokers, and about 300,000 people on Spotify every day have in common?
They can probably sing along to these lyrics, too:
I wonder how
I wonder why
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon-tree
What Fools Garden masterminds Peter Freudenthaler and Volker Hinkel created in 1995 is nothing less than one of the very few global hits to come out of Germany.
Whether on the radio or via streaming services, whether live in a hotel bar or at home on CD: This song is surely played at least ten times per second somewhere in the world.
With such impressive superlatives, it’s easy to forget that even after the towering success of “Zitronenbaum,” Fools Garden has, since 1995, placed five more singles in the Top 100 of the German charts, released eight albums, and played countless successful concerts worldwide.
