Haftbefehl is back on stage. On Sunday, September 20, he played his first major concert in months — in front of a sold-out audience at the Frankfurt Festhalle. In June, he cancelled several festival appearances at the last minute and publicly announced that he was taking a break to take care of his health. The tension over whether and how he would return was therefore high. Musikexpress ↗
As has been customary for some time now, he again wore a mask on his face during this performance. His overall delivery came across as more restrained than before: his voice sounded marked, his posture more cautious than forceful. Musikexpress ↗
Rather than carrying the evening alone, he invited several fellow travelers onto the stage right away — Olexesh, Veysel and Milonair, who took over most of the actual performance. Haftbefehl himself didn't rap a single track all the way through: instead, he accompanied the proceedings from the side, joining in from time to time, but largely left the main stage to his guests.

Aykut Anhan, performing as Haftbefehl, has been one of the most influential figures in German rap since 2010 — his Offenbach slang changed the language of the entire scene. SuperMusic has almost ninety of his song lyrics.
In recent years, Haftbefehl's career has been marked by recurring health problems, which he also spoke about in the Netflix documentary. The Frankfurt concert was the first significant sign of a comeback.
