Michael Schulte
Unter dem Motto „Botschafter der leisen Momente 2026“ ist Michael Schulte in der kommenden Wintersaison erneut live zu erleben. Gemeinsam mit seiner Band gastiert der Sänger und Songschreiber in ausgewählten, stimmungsvollen Spielstätten und setzt dabei bewusst auf eine nahe, warme Konzertatmosphäre.
Michael Schulte gehört seit Jahren zu den prägenden Pop-Künstlern Deutschlands. Seine musikalische Laufbahn begann in den 2000er-Jahren mit Coverversionen auf YouTube, die millionenfach abgerufen wurden. 2012 erreichte er den dritten Platz bei der TV-Show „The Voice of Germany“. Einer breiten Öffentlichkeit wurde er spätestens 2018 bekannt, als er Deutschland beim Eurovision Song Contest mit dem Song „You Let Me Walk Alone“ vertrat und den vierten Platz belegte.
Es folgten zahlreiche erfolgreiche Veröffentlichungen, darunter die Titel „Back to the Start“, „All I Need“, „Keep Me Up“, „For a Second“, „Here Goes Nothing“, „Remember Me“ und „With You“. Auch spätere Singles wie „More to This Life“, „Better Me“, die Zusammenarbeit „Waterfall“ mit R3HAB sowie „Beautiful Reason“ und „Half of My Heart“ mit ÁSDÍS erreichten hohe Chartplatzierungen. Insgesamt konnten sich 13 seiner Songs in den deutschen Radio-Top-10 platzieren. Auf Streamingplattformen verzeichnen seine Stücke Millionen Abrufe pro Monat.
Für April 2026 ist das neue Album „Beautiful Reasons“ angekündigt, das erstmals neues Material seit längerer Zeit enthält. Songs daraus werden bereits im Rahmen der „Sanfte Töne, besondere Orte Tour 2026“ live vorgestellt.
Frequently Asked Questions about the Venue
How do I get to Forum Leverkusen?
The Forum Leverkusen is centrally located in the Wiesdorf district, making it easy to get there quickly and hassle-free. It is just a short walk from Leverkusen-Mitte railway station and the Wiesdorf bus station. We therefore recommend travelling by bus or train. For those arriving by car: the Forum has its own multi-storey car park with 380 spaces. However, the car park at the Forum fills up quickly, particularly during major events. If there is already a traffic jam before the entrance to the underground car park, please make sure to use one of the other car parks in the immediate vicinity.
Further information is available on the Forum’s website.

Not in all cases. To ensure that all guests can evacuate quickly in the event of an emergency, the following items MUST NOT be brought into the Forum’s event rooms: Winter coats and jackets, large travel bags and rucksacks, booster seats and cushions (unfortunately, due to the folding mechanism of the seats, medical seat cushions are also not permitted in the Great Hall), pushchairs and walking frames, and other items (such as umbrellas) that could pose a tripping hazard. You are welcome to leave these items at the cloakroom. For events organised by the City of Leverkusen, Culture and City Marketing, this service is free of charge. For other events, the cloakroom fee is €1.50.
Is there catering available at the events held in the Forum?
Yes. For larger events at the Forum, our caterer provides delicious snacks or fresh finger food, as well as refreshing drinks.
