In autumn 2025, the Querschläger will celebrate their 35th anniversary and will perform their 900th concert since 1990. These two anniversaries will be appropriately celebrated with the release of a new album titled “Gegenwind” – now their 18th. That the band will also present the new album with 2 concerts in Lungau goes without saying.The songs of the new album, all created in 2025, will be complemented in the anniversary program with a selection from the band’s extensive catalog, which now includes almost 300 original compositions.The blend of dialect lyrics and various musical styles will be presented using 30 instruments by a live band that has been playing together over the decades with heartfelt dedication, and the pieces will be interwoven with the legendary “Gschichtln” of singer Fritz Messner.Fritz Messner Vocals & GschichtlnMathias Messner Guitars & VocalsReinhard Simbürger Vocals, (Slide) Guitars, Fotzhobel, Banjo, Lungau Berghorn, Didgeridoo,Glockenspiel, Sansula, Hang, Jew's Harp & various small instruments Fritz Kronthaler Clarinets (including: contrabass clarinet), Saxophones, Bagpipes,Ocarina, Flutes & Trumpets – occasionally also PotatophonFranz Tannenberger Keyboards, Accordion, Banjo, VocalsNelli Neulinger BassThomas Binderberger Drums and Percussion
