Behind the big worldwide hits often lie moving stories. Some artists failed multiple times before creating their masterpiece. Others found their greatest success through coincidences, studio mishaps, or the courage to start anew after a crisis.

In the new season of SWR1 Hits and Stories – The Show Bernd Rosinus takes the audience on a journey through exactly these stories:

• How a radio DJ inspired a touching duet between two superstars.
• Why a hit was first released in a completely different language.
• Why a band needed several attempts before achieving their big breakthrough.
• And how a singer became a legend amidst genius and tragedy.

The band PopHistory brings these stories to life on stage – with captivating sounds, impressive visuals, and fascinating effects.

Look forward to an evening full of music, emotions, and inspiring stories about obstacles, perseverance, and the power of music that continues to move us all to this day.
