Louis Philippson - Wiener Stadthalle - 2027

Wiener Stadthalle - Halle F, Wien

At the age of four, Louis Philippson began attending music school; at eight, he became a young student at the Robert Schumann University of Music in Düsseldorf. Numerous national and international piano competitions, as well as his activities on TikTok and Instagram, laid the foundation for his meteoric rise. In no time at all, the artist—who grew up in Mühlheim—became a celebrated classical music star, a host for Toggo and ZDF, and a social media phenomenon.

His humorous video clips, virtuoso piano performances, and creative music videos reach an audience of millions across generations. At the same time, he is conquering the big stages: in 2024, he will perform at the “Night of the Proms” in front of an audience of around 200,000 people. In 2025, he releases two albums at once: “Exposition” and “My Way.” This is followed by red carpets, galas, and awards such as the OPUS KLASSIK. The media are in agreement: Louis Philippson is the “new rock star of classical music” (RBB), who manages to combine “classical and contemporary music with incredible ease” (NDR).
After two completely sold-out tours, Louis Philippson returns to the stage in the fall of 2027 with his new album “Masquerade.” A first preview is the single “Berghain,” set for release on September 25, 2026. Together with violinist Esther Abrami and the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, he transforms Rosalia’s hit into an orchestral work for piano, solo violin, and orchestra.
Inspired by the Venetian tradition, “Masquerade” takes the audience on a musical masquerade ball. Classical masterpieces, original compositions, and iconic pop and dance music come together to create a rich sonic journey through eras and genres. Bold and unconventional, Louis Philippson breaks down genre boundaries, bringing together Bach, Mozart, Chopin, and Strauss with Duke Ellington, Rosalía, Michael Jackson, and Queen.
At times intimate and focused entirely on the piano, at other times grand and opulent, the musical journey spans from the great masters of classical music to the iconic sounds of pop and dance history. Supported by an excellent ensemble, the “Masquerade – Live 2027” tour becomes a multifaceted live experience blending virtuoso piano artistry with powerful arrangements. The show is rounded out by an almost futuristic stage featuring projection screens and spectacular lighting designs.
