The week of ADE did not bring only good news. It also delivered some completely unexpected announcements. One of the biggest was the news of Boris Brejcha’s retirement from the scene.
Yes, you read that correctly: Boris has chosen 2028 as the final year of his artistic career. However, we will still have him with us for a while.
Known worldwide as “The Joker” for his iconic mask and High-Tech Minimal sound, the German DJ and producer shared the decision in a video posted on his social media channels on Saturday, October 24.
Brejcha explained that this is not a sudden decision. The idea of retiring has been with him for several years. Over the past two years, he has spent a great deal of time reflecting on his future. Now, he is ready to close this chapter and has thanked his fans for their support throughout his career.
2027 will be the final year in which we see him perform at festivals. Then, in 2028, he will embark on his final tour, titled Last Chapter: Becoming the Joker Tour. It will be the last opportunity to experience his headline shows. Further details about the dates will be announced soon.
By then, Boris will have enjoyed more than 20 years of career success. He made his debut in 2006 and quickly became one of the leading artists in electronic music. Since then, he has performed at the world’s most important festivals and venues. Boris Brejcha has built a truly unmistakable artistic identity.
The countdown to his final chapter now begins. Two more years remain to celebrate a career that has left a lasting mark on the electronic music scene.
