Lance Butters

“I went from selfish to selfcare”

Lance Butters never simply renounced his friendship to the world — he learned to live with himself. Chaos became control, retreat became reflection, “selfish” became a new state of affairs: self-care. With his upcoming tour, Lance Butters opens the next chapter: more personal, clearer and at the same time more unpredictable than ever.

Anyone who knows Lance Butters knows that he only has centimeters between hide-and-seek and soul stripping. Between colossal drama and merciless idleness, there is a field of tension that unfolds with full force, especially live. His shows are not just concerts, they are cathartic spaces in which abysmal meets empowerment, overload meets control and raw emotion meets precise aesthetics.

For over a decade, Lance Butters has been moving through the German rap landscape — without ever being part of the calculated game. He received initial attention through his idiosyncratic appearances at the VBT, followed by his debut album” BLAOW “, which rose to number two in the German charts in 2015. With “FEAR,” a turning point began in 2018: away from ironically misanthropic punchlines towards relentless self-revelation. Issues such as mental health, isolation and social breaks have shaped his output ever since and made him one of the most distinctive voices in German-language rap.

With the “Selfcare Tour 2027,” Lance Butters picks up right there and goes one step further at the same time. Based on his “Selfish EP”, the tour has the motto: “I went from selfish to selfcare.” It is a statement, a process and perhaps also a promise.
