Triumphant home game: Seiler & Speer inspire in the Happel Stadium!

On July 20, 2025, Seiler & Speer celebrated a triumphant home game in front of an enthusiastic audience at the Happel Stadium. The concert began with the rousing songs “Voigas”, “Tuat ma lad, Herr Inspekta” and “Servas baba”, followed by a presentation of their new pieces from the album “Hödn”, released in June. Particularly noteworthy was the live premiere of the song “I'd rather be dead,” which touched the audience emotionally.

In a mixture of euphoric melodies and emotional ballads, the duo also performed the hit “Ob und zua samma zua”. They received support from Viennese singer/songwriter Ernst Molden and a symphony orchestra conducted by Christian Kolonovits, who gave their music a special touch. The songs “Hödn” and “Ala bin” received special emphasis, while a cover of Georg Danzer’s “Ruaf mi net an” was integrated into the performance.

Anniversary celebrations

The “A schware Partie 2025” tour also celebrates Seiler & Speer’s tenth anniversary. The duo achieved their breakthrough in 2015 with the song “A schware Partie”. Since then they have played over 100 concerts with more than 750,000 spectators and received numerous awards, including 26 times gold and platinum. The anniversary tour takes you through 18 cities, including 16 in Germany and one each in Switzerland and Austria.

The highlight of the concert was the spectacular conclusion with the songs “Wir gengan net ham” and “Ham kummst”, which was accompanied by breathtaking fireworks and pyrotechnics. Emotions were visible as some fans had tears in their eyes. Over the last decade, Seiler & Speer have not only revolutionized their music, but also shaped the local music scene by combining classical elements with modern sounds, as shown by the live album of their bigger hits from 2022, which was a bestseller.

The path to success

In preparation for the anniversary tour, Seiler & Speer look back on a remarkable career. Her debut song “Ham kummst” was recognized as a mega-seller. Despite initial skepticism about their long-term relevance, they were able to establish themselves with albums like “Und weida?” and “Forever” firmly establish themselves in the Austrian charts.

The trend in the music industry shows that sales for streaming and digital services have grown to around 1.6 billion euros, with the share of physical recordings falling to 19.7 percent. The decline in physical music sales over the last decade is alarming, reaching almost two-thirds, making Seiler & Speer's success all the more remarkable. MIZ summarizes the current situation in the music industry and provides insights into the challenges artists face in the digital age.

Seiler & Speer successfully deal with the realities of the modern music industry and remain an integral part of Austrian music history. The upcoming concerts promise not only musical highlights, but also emotional moments that will certainly delight the audience.

The concert at Happel was more than just a performance; It was a celebration of music, emotions and friendship between band and fans that captivated everyone. They will continue rocking in the Olympic Hall on March 8, 2025, so the celebrations are far from over.
