The ANKOR summer tour 2026 is over.

The shows were fantastic as always, but there was something different:

For the first time, it had felt for me like we were attending ANKOR concerts as a fan community.

We had chatted a lot on our community channels before, had told each other who‘d come to which show, had met at the entrance and welcomed each other like friends, even the ones whom we had never seen in person before.

During the show, we had jumped and moshed side by side, grinning, laughing, screaming, and hugging amidst dozens of others who will hopefully one day also connect with our group.

Also after the show - even when we couldn’t have expected the band to come out anymore - we had stayed in the venue as long as possible just to have a drink, talk and laugh like we had done before the show. And we had always made new friends there because we struck up conversations with those who were also present but didn't belong to our group yet.

Of course we always come to the shows because of ANKOR.

But this summer for the first time we had also come for our own sake - as their international fan community.

For me - someone who always has to go to ANKOR shows alone - this is like paradise.

It makes me look forward to the upcoming shows in winter even more – much more – than I would have done without you.

So thank you, my friends!

 

And sorry for the rough video quality – but it’s the content that counts.
