Max Raabe (born December 1962 in Lünen) is a German baritone singer and founder of the Berlin-based Palast Orchester, which he established in 1986 while studying at the Berlin University of the Arts. The ensemble specialises in German dance and film music of the 1920s and 1930s, performed with dry wit and precise elegance. Raabe broke through to wider audiences with the 1992 hit 'Kein Schwein ruft mich an' and later with his own pop songs - a style sometimes called 'Raabe Pop' - as well as through the TV series Babylon Berlin, whose fourth season featured his song 'Ein Tag wie Gold'.
Max Raabe released the EP 'Komm Mal Her' in April 2026 as a preview of an upcoming solo pop album.
New 2027 Austrian tour dates for a yet-untitled new show were announced, covering Salzburg, Wien, Linz and Graz.
Max Raabe & Palast Orchester launched their 'Hummel streicheln' tour in January 2025, continuing through 2026.
The ensemble announced a Scandinavian leg for autumn 2026 under the title 'Night and Day', with dates in Bergen, Helsinki and Stockholm.
