Major stars in Germany and Europe, longstanding success is an understatement for the band which formed in Dusseldorf in 1982, and have released seventeen albums to date (with eight #1 albums since 1990). With their roots firmly set in the punk rock movement of the 70s and 80s, and a musical foundation of ferocious rock, the group has won countless awards across the rock and metal spectrum. Over the years, they have continued to further open up stylistically, with typical sets ranging from their party punk rock stunners, alongside gaudy power pop, emotional ballads, uplifting hymns and a healthy helping of pathos throughout. Collaborating with heavyweights including: The Rolling Stones, U2, AC/DC and Bad Religion amongst others, and featuring many global musical greats as guests on their own recordings, including 2017 LP 'Learning English Lesson 2', Die Toten Hosen hold a spot in an elite league.
