What MONTREAL sing here on the latest album “Am Achteck nichts Neues” describes the band quite well: Just don't take your own nose too seriously, keep the ball a bit flatter. MONTREAL is already in its 23rd year: Yonas, Hirsch and Max Power are old school friends, founded their first band as teenagers and this formation has not changed to this day.

What is nice: even after 20 years of band existence, MONTREAL can still look forward to a steadily growing audience - quite a few attribute this to their mix of hard work and humor. Even during the corona pandemic, Montreal played many concerts — on stream or in front of cars and sun loungers — and always with the same intensity as at major festivals or in sold-out clubs.

Perhaps that is the band's recipe: take all those who come to the concert seriously and everyone who has made this possible through their work too - but don't fool themselves too much. “How long is this supposed to continue?” , is thrown into the room in “Primadonna & Primat” - Good question — and can only be answered quickly for the near future: the band deliberately calms down the summer of 2026 and only plays a few hand-picked festivals, BECAUSE... they have always been diligently counted and the band's 1000th concert is on in December, which includes a few countdown concerts by their favorite clubs in the two “homes” of Berlin and Hamburg The following is celebrated in an honorable manner:
