Christian CHAKO Habekost – it Comes as it Comes and if it Doesn't Come, it Comes Differently
2026-04-17 20:00 | City Hall at the Orangery, Dr.-Edeltraud-Sießl-Allee 4, Kirchheimbolanden, Rhineland-Palatinate, 67292
From autumn 2025, CHAKO will present his one-man show with Dubbeschoppe and a concentrated load of linguistic wit, going back to his roots, being uncompromisingly (short) Palatinate and grooving dialectically in a Caribbean rhythm, just as only “de Chako” can.
Why Palatinate swear words are more creative and politicians are the better comedians!
Why democracy could only be invented in the Palatinate and non-alcoholic wine is often worse for the liver!
Palatinate tapas, economic crisis, vegan liver sausage, body shaming, Dubbeglas tattoos – all the signs of the times, hypes and shitstorms that move the world appear through the eyes of the naturally cool (Kur)Pälzer in a completely new, in the best sense of the word, laughable light.
Philosophical-funny, naughty-dialectal, mindfulness-schoppefullness, and always: druff & dewedder, weeschwie’schmään?!

herrH is Here! - the Kids' Interactive Concert for the Whole Family!
2026-04-18 15:00 | City Hall at the Orangery, Dr.-Edeltraud-Sießl-Allee 4, Kirchheimbolanden, Rhineland-Palatinate, 67292
When their first concert becomes a truly memorable experience for the little ones. When children and parents dance and celebrate exuberantly together, putting their vocal cords to a real test. When participation is key, moving not just dancing feet but also young and old hearts. Then only one person can be on stage: herrH, the walking family soundtrack, who knows exactly how to turn a children’s concert into an unforgettable moment.
He redefines the term “children’s concert,” effortlessly transforming it into a family concert with a wow factor. Up to 200 times a year, he invites children and parents from the Baltic Sea to the Alps to join him for an XXL family party, complete with an extra dose of confetti, fog, plush toy stagedives, and deep bass that you can feel. Plenty of “New German Children’s Music” and hits like “Emma, the perpetually sleepy duck” or “Raffi, the giraffe” are a must on every herrH setlist. With well over 100 million streams of his songs and appearances with famous pop stars at festivals and on TV channels like KIKA, it’s clear: herrH is an indispensable part of family life. He aims to create unforgettable live moments not just for the little ones – adults too should feel comfortable at his concerts and be able to be kids again.
For herrH, hours of photo sessions, autograph signings, and a big “High5” with every single fan are all part of a successful concert, and it’s from these moments that he draws the energy he then shares with families at his next show. The most beautiful compliment for this passionate musician is when his little ‘giant fans’ ask their parents the ultimate question in bed before falling asleep: “Are we going to another herrH concert tomorrow?” Maybe not tomorrow, but definitely next time, when it’s “hooray, hooray, herrH is here!” again.
Children aged 3 and over require a ticket.
Children are only admitted to the concert when accompanied by an adult.

Dreams and Longing
2026-05-23 19:00 | Protestant Paulskirche, Amtsstraße 5-7, Kirchheimbolanden, Rhineland-Palatinate, 67292, Germany
The long-lost German-Jewish Songbook of 1912 was the starting point for a competition whose winning compositions premiered at the 2025 Choir Festival in Nuremberg and have now been included in a new choral collection. The Donnersberg District Cantorate was selected by the German Choral Association along with other choirs and, with its financial support, is organizing a concert at St. Paul’s Church where some of these new songs will be presented. In addition to Jewish choral music, Sophia Stegner will perform music from the film “Schindler’s List” on the violin, among other pieces. Furthermore, space will be created for a regional culture of remembrance, and so the evening will also focus on Jewish life in Kirchheimbolanden. Admission is free – donations are welcome.
Direction and Concept: Ulrike Heubeck

ONE NIGHT ONLY - "Nimm 2"
2026-05-23 19:30 | Stage in the Palace Garden, Dr.-Edeltraud-Sießl-Allee, Kirchheimbolanden, Rhineland-Palatinate, 67292, Germany
“Nimm 2” will perform one last time in the Kirchheimbolanden Castle Garden on May 23 as part of the city’s Cultural Summer.
Peter Klein (piano) and Timo Holstein (vocals) will take the stage together for the last time on Saturday, May 23. 15 years after SNAILSHOUSE called it quits and 7 years after the duo’s last concert, Klein and Holstein will pick up their instruments together once more. As part of the Kirchheimbolanden Cultural Summer, “Nimm 2” will perform on the stage of the baroque Castle Garden on May 23 starting at 7:30 PM with free admission. Over the years, the two have performed a good 1,500 concerts together. 20 years with the full band, then as a duo. Since the mid-90s, the cult band from the Palatinate has been an indispensable part of the music scene. The result was 3 albums and a DVD. Songs like “So wie der Wind” made it onto the radio; at the start of the millennium, the band played nationwide and in neighboring countries, sharing the stage with greats like Reamonn, Fury in the Slaughterhouse, H-Blockx, Laith Al-Deen, Revolverheld, Silbermond, and many others. Their greatest success was the album “Sternzeit” and the accompanying tour, which drew around 30,000 visitors within a few weeks in 2002. Also unforgettable are the band’s celebrated open-air concerts at the Waschmühle, Gelterswoog (KL), or on the grounds of the former Bischoff Brewery in Winnweiler, some of which attracted up to 10,000 visitors. While SNAILSHOUSE showcased the musicians’ rock side, Klein and Holstein later performed as a purely acoustic duo, interpreting their favorite piano songs and evergreens by artists like Billy Joel, Bill Withers, Elton John, John Denver, and the Beatles, as well as swing classics by Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr., or gems by Roger Cicero. Anyone who wants to experience this one more time will have the chance on May 23, when “Nimm 2” plays their final concert in the Kirchheimbolanden Castle Garden. Catering is well taken care of, as the Schwan Winery will not only offer a wide selection of drinks but also fine snacks to go, so you can eat and enjoy. The seating is a colorful mix—there will be beer garden sets, chairs, high tables, and beach loungers. Guests are also welcome to bring their own picnic blankets and chairs. Food and drinks will be available from 6:30 PM, and the concert starts at 7:30 PM – Admission is free! If it rains that evening, even if it only becomes clear by noon on the day of the event, the performance will move to the Stadthalle at the Orangerie. The concert will therefore take place regardless of the weather.

Performance of The Magic Flute with the Frischlinge
2026-05-29 15:00 | Protestant Paulskirche, Amtsstraße 5-7, Kirchheimbolanden, Rhineland-Palatinate, 67292, Germany
What more could you want for a gripping story than a noble prince, gruesome monsters, an evil queen, a princess in distress, dangerous trials, and a cheerful birdcatcher?
The forest kindergarten “Die Frischlinge” shows just how much Mozart’s The Magic Flute can inspire children. Nina Steuerwald and her team explore the opera’s fascinating and contradictory characters with their young group and bring them to life in an imaginative and creative way. Through acting, singing, and self-made props and costumes, the children step into the roles of Tamino, Papageno, the Queen of the Night, and all the other characters. In the background, organ music can be heard, played by Ulrike Heubeck, who is involved in this project with the kindergarten.
Everyone, young and old, is invited to the Paulskirche to be enchanted. After the performance, the celebration continues on the forecourt with coffee and cake.
Proceeds from the event will benefit the project “Future of the Paulskirche”.
