Context
Eighteen years separate this night from Helloween's previous Summer Breeze appearance. On August 15, 2026, the band returns to Dinkelsbühl with seven members and a tour dedicated to forty years of career. On the video screens, album covers travel through a virtual canyon before March of Time opens the show.
Andi Deris and Michael Kiske share vocals, while Kai Hansen takes Ride the Sky in the rain. The run also passes through the recent songs from Giants & Monsters. In the acoustic segment, Kiske tries out Simon and the Beatles; Deris sings In the Middle of a Heartbeat. A Tale That Wasn't Right starts stripped down and then brings in the band.
During the encore, giant inflatable pumpkins drift over the crowd. Eagle Fly Free, Power and Dr. Stein lead the farewell, closed by the chorus of Keeper of the Seven Keys. The tour moves on to Latin America, while ARTE's footage preserves this German stop: a celebration that brings different voices together without erasing their differences.
- Deris and Kiske share the acoustic segment before the band comes in on A Tale That Wasn't Right.
