Berlin show anchors Back to Badlands tour
The Back to Badlands tour is a global run built around the 10-year anniversary of Badlands, which originally came out in 2015 and helped establish Halsey as a major pop and alternative act. German outlets such as Ticketmaster and Festivalstalker list two German dates for the tour, with Berlin and Düsseldorf hosting consecutive shows in January 2026, highlighting Germany’s importance on the European leg.
Berlin’s Velodrom will host Halsey on January 23, 2026, with doors in the evening and a capacity in the mid-five-figure range, putting the show on par with other major arena stops in Europe. A dedicated tour site and German-language previews note that the tour kicked off in October 2025 in Los Angeles before moving across North America and then crossing to Europe, the UK and Australia, placing the Berlin date in the middle of a dense run through major capitals.
What the charts and streams say about Halsey in 2026
The tour arrives at a moment when Halsey’s catalog remains strong on streaming platforms. Aggregated Spotify data compiled in August 2026 shows a total of roughly 25.9 billion streams for tracks involving Halsey, with about 14 billion of those where she is the lead artist and more than 12 billion for solo work, underscoring how consistently her songs are played worldwide. Individual hits such as Without Me, Bad at Love and Gasoline each sit in the hundreds of millions to over one billion stream range, putting them in the core of current pop listening.
For German audiences, songs like Without Me and her collaborations with acts such as The Chainsmokers and BTS contribute to a steady presence on playlists, even when she is not topping the singles charts week to week. Set against the continuing strength of her latest album cycle and the new anniversary release around Badlands, the upcoming Berlin and Düsseldorf shows function as a bridge between her early breakthrough and her current status as a multi-billion-stream artist.

What Halsey’s Berlin and Düsseldorf fans can expect live
Fans in Berlin can expect a set built heavily around Badlands, performed nearly in full, alongside selected tracks from later albums like Manic and If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power. Reports from earlier dates on the tour describe a stage design that nods to the desolate, neon-tinged aesthetics of the original era while using updated visuals and lighting to connect it to Halsey’s more recent, darker productions.
The Berlin show will be followed the next night by a concert in Düsseldorf’s Mitsubishi Electric Hall, making Germany one of the few countries to receive two consecutive nights on the European stretch. Both dates are produced by Live Nation, and German presale information points to high demand, with advance ticket sales opening through major platforms in early September 2025 and continuing as the tour gets closer.
The musical core of Halsey’s current era
Beyond the anniversary tour, Halsey’s current creative phase is tied to her fifth studio album The Great Impersonator, released in 2024 and later expanded with a deluxe edition in May 2026. According to a Columbia Records announcement and music-press coverage, the deluxe version added several new tracks, including the guitar-driven song Carry the Weight, which had been previewed live during her more recent tours.
The record blends alternative pop, rock and electronic elements, with production contributions from a mix of long-time collaborators and newer partners aligned with Columbia’s roster. Placed alongside the rawer, synth-heavy textures of Badlands, it underlines how Halsey has shifted from a conceptual debut into a broader, genre-crossing catalog while still returning to earlier material in a live setting, especially for anniversary projects like Back to Badlands.
Where Halsey stands now
After completing the Back to Badlands run through Europe and Australia in early 2026, Halsey’s next confirmed appearance for German fans is the Berlin arena show on January 23, 2026 at Velodrom, with Düsseldorf scheduled the following night as part of the same tour.
