After anti-Semitic hate speech and Reue video: Xavier Naidoo plans comeback in Cologne

The Live Nation’s concert agency announced a concert by Xavier Naidoo with the title “At my soul” in the Cologne Lanxess Arena on December 16.

“Xavier Naidoo Live with band! On December 16, 2025, Xavier plays his only concert of the year in the Lanxess Arena Cologne – with all his big hits,” wrote the singer on his Instagram page. The pre -sale starts on Tuesday (July 8). It would be his first concert in six years.

Naidoo noticed with anti-Semitic and racist statements for many years, solidarized with so-called Reich citizens, polarized with statements about corona pandemic and widespread theories of the Qanon movement.

For example, he claimed that “the Jews” had “made the world subject”, “lies, treason, bribery and blackmail” were in their “way and way of life”. He also published a video with the statement that the Holocaust was a “successful historical fiction”. And he also claimed, among other things, that in “ritual bath houses of Orthodox Jews” “children were systematically abused”.

The “Black Lives Matter” movement called Naidoo “absolutely suspect”, and he mowed the Green politician Claudia Roth.

According to Naidoo, “no people in the world was so flat in modern times, mentally and mentally, and under mass hypnosis as the Germans,” he condemned imperial citizens as “heroes”. The list could be continued for a long time.

In 2022, Naidoo released a video in which he announced that he had betrayed himself in conspiracy stories: “I said and did things that I regret today,” he said at the time, but remained very unconcret.

The singer says that he was “partly” found to be wrong. With “some” of his statements and behaviors, he “bumped people and injured people”. He also had “partially instrumentalized.” Naidoo did not reveal who he could have hurt exactly and what statements he regretted today. (TSP)
