The Roxy Checks In To Tokio Hotel

View Comments 23 January 2008

Tokio Hotel  2/15
First off we’de like to thank all the fans for all their calls and emails…and for their shrieking and celebrating when we sold them tickets over the phone. We are making dreams come true! But in all seriousness, we are so happy that we are able to host the first show EVER in the US for Tokio Hotel – a band that sells out arenas and stadiums in the UK. This band is HUGE. (4 Number one Singles, 2 Number 1 Albums, 3 million albums sold type HUGE). We can’t wait for them to see our beloved Sunset Strip! Rumor has it, that the band specifically wanted to play our Roxy – and for that we are very very flattered! We hope Hollywood treats them well! We hear that fans are coming from all across the country and all over the world to see this super rare club appearance – what a trip! Sounds like a blast! Please contact the Roxy Box office for tickets (10:30-5:30 M-Friday) @ 310-278-9457. And we’re thinking this show is going to sell out ASAP…so don’t wait!

  • Eva
    I'm so happy for the US fans! I hope to get to see them in the Netherlands or Germany soon :)

    About the video: I'm kinda dissappoined that they changed the sound. What you hear now is from the live cd.
  • Breeze
    To Nina; the Anaheim gig is cancelled. They won't play there.
  • I want Tokio Hotel to play In Die Nacht at the gig!!!!!!
  • rene
    dear US-teenager girls,

    I´m from germany and know this band Tokio Hotel for more than two years. and believe me, they´re not good and fantastic, they´re very bad. the singer can´t sing very well and everybody in germany knows that he`s gay. the other guy called tom means that he has sleeped with more than 20 womans, when he was 13 years old. they´re were not amazing and cool. please, dont like them, they are not really american.
  • Lily
    OMG i sooooooooooo excited for this show i cannot wait!!! TOKIO HOTEL ROCKS!!!!
  • Nina(Germany!!!!)
    Hey guys;)

    does somebody know when they are gonna sell out tickets for the TH-concert in Anaheim, one day after the Roxy?????
    Is somebody going...I am gonna fly from Charlotte, North Carolina...and I don´t have anybody to come with me, sooo let me know who´s going, thats gonnna be awesome, I promise!!!!!, I `ve seen them 4 times in Germany, just can say.....oooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh;)
  • THE RUMORS ARE TRUE. YOU CAN BRING IN A NON-PROFESSIONAL CAMERA TO SHOOT PICTURES OF THE SHOW. AND YES, VIDEO IS NOT ALLOWED. YOU'LL JUST HAVE TO BURN THE PERFORMANCE INTO YOUR MEMORY. SHOULD BE A GREAT ONE!
  • Emi
    ah just called, they said you can bring photo cameras but not video cameras yesss!!!! (o>.<)o
  • Emi
    Are you serious? about not being able to bring a camera? I got my tickets!! I hope i can meet some new people there :D I am excited shitless
  • Guys, you're going to have to call The Roxy closer to the concert date and ask about what you're allowed to bring in. I asked about cameras, and they said it depends on the band, and that they won't know until it's closer to the 15th. I am guessing TH's management decides whether or not they want cameras allowed.

    As far as water, etc. goes... I'm not sure. I haven't been to The Roxy in over 10 years!
  • Elke-Gudrun
    I'm from Germany ! And of course I'm big fan :) It's really cool that they have so many fans in America too !! :)
    But to be honest, I don't like it when Bill sings the songs in english, that's so unnecessary and just not right, the whole charm of the songs is gone. I don't know who said to them that they need to sing the songs in english to become popular in the Us and other english-speaking countries. I believe they would make it without having to sing in english. But anyway, Tokio Hotel are one of the best live bands I know, the songs sound even better than on the cd. Have a good time at the concert ! :)
    Greetings from Germany !
    P.S.: Sorry , I know my english isn't so good
  • fishie
    XDDDDD OH...MY....TOM! *-* I can't believe...that I got one of the last tickets to this show! *squee* I've been waiting 2 WHOLE YEARS to see them play in America! *-* I so can't wait...>.> ne, you people from Europe who are leaving comments on here about us not being true fans...x'( you're WRONG! A true fan is someone who likes them for their music and has stuck with the band through all of the hard times that they've had. D=< do you have ANY IDEA how many people that I've sworn at, trying to defend Tokio Hotel? D'X don't tell me that I'm not a true fan, or that others aren't true fans...because most of us are!
  • Great question. What aren't we allowed to bring to the show as far as cameras, water, etc.
  • oh mein gott!!! i can't wait!! i adore Tokio Hotel! i've been a fan for 2 1/2 years and in ahh of this band. their AMAZINGLY talented. i will try to make it to the concert even though i'm from SAN ANTONIO,TX.

    ICH LIEBE EUCH!! KOMMEN NACH SAN ANTONIO,TX

    *** CAN I BRING A VIDEO CAMERA??***
  • OH MEIN GOTT, i can't beleive Tokio Hotel is coming to America. I'm from SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS and have been a fan for 2 1/2 years. i love them!! and have learned German just because of them!! they're amazing and i will try to make it to the concert on the 15th, i'm working things out. but i will hopefully be there. I CAN'T WAIT!!!
    ICH LIEBE EUCH!!!
    WIR WOLLEN TOKIO HOTEL, KOMMEN NACH SAN ANTONIO TX, BITTE!!!

    ***CAN I BRING A VIDEO CAMERA??****
  • GINA B
    ok, I am really trying to get my plans in order...If everything works out (Plane & Hotel)...there will be 2 more fans coming from Kansas!!!!!!! TH rocks!!!
  • superpony98
    Can We Bring Cameras?
  • esme

  • Valentina
    Thankx for having the best German band... EVEr in the Roxy!!!!! I can't go, but I hope that all the fans that are going Have lots of fun!!!!!!! Tokio hotel <33333333
  • saltedebestiole (Canada)
    In the second video in "le concert de la fraternité" in France there are 600 000 spectators and Tokio Hotel makes you believe that there are 600 000 fans of them but it's false !!! There are fans of Michel Polnareff, an old french singer and Tokio Hotel just have doing him first part!! Tokio Hotel is a commercial band and not a real rock band!
  • Linda (France)
    I think that real fans of Tokio Hotel are in France and in Europe but not in USA!!!So PLEASE TOKIO HOTEL BACK IN FRANCE WE ALL LOVE YOU!!!!!
  • Hi! OK so some questions that I hope will be answered here! :

    1) Is it stand up or sit down?
    2) Cameras allowed?
    3) Since it's their first show here, any signings here?
    4) If and when the tickets are sold out, will it be posted up on this site?
    5) Is there really something about having someone 21 years with you? How about 19?

    I'm planning to take my little sister (I think she could be Bill's true love :P), my cousin, my brothers, and that would make 5 of us. This would be our first concert, and we've been waiting! YES!!! I hope they won't sell out before I get permission to go @_@
  • chiby
    thaks for having the best band ever
  • cc

  • nina
    That is so amazing! I hope Bill, Tom, Georg, and Gustav all like it here in the U.S! I am sure they will be psyched to find all these wonderful fans coming in from different states to see them! Unfortunately, I have VERY STRICT parents who just will not allow me to take a flight to CA with my 20-YEAR OLD cousin. It makes me really upset because I lived in Torrance, CA for 7 years!! But now I'm stuck here in boring all Texas. Well, thanks Roxy for allowing this AMAZING band come in for their first gig ever in the US!! This all seems so surreal!
  • ann
    this is great, i know they will rock the house down, they really are the best, and how great is it that the american fans will get to experience that also !!!
    there american tour will generate in even more fans for them !!!
    just great
    oh and thanks to all the people at ROXY for giving them the opertunity to play in your club!!
    greatings from belgium!!
  • This show is gonna be legend!
    Tokio Hote's first EVER US show and it's gonna be in THE Roxy!!! And I'm gonna be there!!
    I'm making a t-shirt for myself that says

    For all who speak German check out how we changed the German national anthem to be about Tokio Hotel:

  • I'm so excited to see Tokio Hotel! I bought my tickets and can't wait to finally see them perform. I've been freaking out since the news first broke and I'm STILL freaking out. I imagine I'll be freaking out driving home from the show too. Oh my.

    Thank you guys for hosting this band. They are awesome and I hope Americans can see more of them in the future. I'm thrilled to finally show my support in person at the Roxy!
  • Tokio Hotel are gonna rock the joint, seriously. Thanks for giving them this opportunity and also for letting the US fans finally get a chance to see them live. They really are amazing live, I saw them at their one London gig.

  • Paige
    OMG!!!! I GOT THE TICKETS! Only 22 more days!!!!!!! I wish it were here already!!!!

    I keep hearing rumors that this venue is not going to allow guests to bring cameras?! That sounds ridiculous!!! It's not true, right?
  • zillah
    we guys over here in europe awfully proud to see the band take off and make their way across the atlantic. here's hoping that you love them just as much as we do. :)
    small suggestion: please feed them gummy worms. the one with the big hair will be sad if there are no gummy worms.
  • Dellara
    I'm sure Tokio Hotel will have an awsome show. <3
  • Love all the comments guys!
  • Heather
    Tokio is lucky to have the loyal fans that are willing to fly in from around the world! Great fans for a great band!
  • I would like to start off by saying, thank you Roxy for making this show happen. It's still hard to believe that Tokio hotel will be playing in California but you people are making it happen. Fans of TH have been waiting a very long time to see them live and I'm so thankful that I have my chance to finally see them.

    Yesterday morning I got my tickets for the show and now I'm just counting down the days until then. It's an overwhelming feeling to know Tokio Hotel will be playing a the legendary Roxy and it's going to be Tokio Hotel PANDEMONIUM!
  • Stacie
    So excited to finally get a chance to see them. I've been waiting for almost a week to see the tickets go up. Glad I checked now!
  • Hilary
    I am coming from Kansas just to see them Ilove them so much. They ROCK.
  • HEY guys! we are sooo excited to have tokio hotel here at the Roxy! Awesome that you guys are coming from all over the world! ROCK ON
  • They deserve it all, i've seen 2 of their concerts, and they are just great.. Unique, and good in their own way. I wish the boys good luck and i hope they'll get a lot of support overseas too :)

    Yours sincerely, Sylvana
  • Rebecca Smith
    THEY'RE COMING!!! I THINK IT'S GREAT THAT THEY ARE PLAYING THE ROXY. TO BE TAKING THE WORLD BY STORM AS YOUNG AS THEY ARE IS INCREDIBLE. THANKS TO THE ROXY FOR HAVING THEM AND TO ALL THE REST OF YOU PEOPLE, GET READY FOR THE SHOW YOU'RE NEVER GONNA FORGET!!!!
  • Brenda
    OOH shit..!!

  • Donica
    So after trying to peel their posters off subway walls in Hungary as a souvenir and failing to get tickets to any of their German shows, you would not believe my delight to hear that my beloved Tokio Hotel is coming to the USA. This band is fantastic and I can't believe they don't have a larger fanbase in the USA. I can't wait for the concert.
  • Liz
    OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    so can't wait
    TOKIO HOTEL 4EVA!!!!!!!
  • hello guyss thats is the most awesome news for TH american and mexican fans, thanks for the opportunity!!!
  • Lisa
    BTW that is an OOOOOOOOOLD live. You might want to go with something more like...Monsoon European Music Awards live...or Scream live. Something along those lives...not when theyre 14...eek...
  • Lisa
    I am SO pumped for this!!! I bought my hotel room RIGHT when they announced it! I'm going to friggin' scream it out loud and sing it all night long with them.

  • Heidi

    I'm completely thrilled that Tokio Hotel will play at Roxy. Seeing this band in a small club gig must be such a unique once on a lifetime experience. I mean, they normally play for crowds around 20 000 all over Europe.

    The 2nd video you posted are 3 years old. Here are some more recent ones.

    Performing Scream at an sold out Bercy Arena in Paris three months ago in front of 20 000.
