Milliarden - Lotto Tour 2025

In the organizer's words:

Transit zones in airports have one thing in common, regardless of which one people are currently in. They illustrate rather incidentally how strangely mobile life is. Theoretically, not much is happening around them. But there is still tension in the air. Especially in places like these. On the one hand, it is never certain what is currently happening on the other side of the route. On the other hand, the curiosity to leave increases with each new arrival.

The temporary lingering in the stateless area thus creates the perfect setting for an exchange of ideas about the billions' new songs.
These are about the naive state of life, about tense expectation. Ben Hartmann and Johannes Aue, the band's two placeholders, make out opportunities in the transit area. That makes sense: Making music has always been a game of chance. In some protagonists of pop history, it reveals a downright gambling addiction.

The unwritten hand of tomorrow gives Hartmann and Aue a good feeling. Accordingly, the album title "LOTTO" describes the longing for the unknown rather than the actual game of chance. The real main prize can never be money. It is a waste product of work.
