Electric Callboy’s live show thrives off unpredictability, making every song feel like a completely different experience from the last. The TANZNEID World Tour has quickly become one of the most unforgettable live experiences of the year, blending EDM, metalcore, and theatrical production into a one of a kind experience. Electric Callboy’s ability to take a sold out show with 2,700 people and make it feel as if it was in a stadium is unlike any other, proving the band truly puts everything into their live performances.

On May 26th the Brooklyn Paramount hosted a stacked lineup featuring Scene Queen and Polaris as openers for Electric Callboy. Fans of all ages flooded into the iconic historical theater in a variety of different attires including full 80’s neon workout gear, all black outfits, and pinstriped Electric Callboy jerseys.

The set began with a curtain drop. Smoke filled the stage as all five members stood still on the back platform, the bright, vibrant lights washing over them. The band revealed their first matching outfit of the evening to be a uniform of black pants, a white tee shirt, and black sleeveless puffer vests. Originating from Germany in 2010, Electric Callboy consists of lead vocalists Nico Sallach and Kevin Ratajczak, guitarist Pascal Schillo, guitarist Daniel “Jack” Haniß, bassist Jack Daniel, and drummer Frank Zummo. Their chemistry onstage was impossible to ignore from the very first second.

As Electric Callboy kicked off into the tour's title track, “TANZNEID” the crowd cheered and waved their colorful accessories before immediately beginning to crowdsurf, dance, and sing along. The cathedral-like venue was the perfect match for both the bands and fans' energy. Wasting no time, the band immediately transitioned into a Sum 41 cover of “Still Waiting,” heightening the beat drop with an explosion of red confetti showering the audience as they watched in awe.

“Tekkno Train” closed out their opening trifecta before a brief pause for an outfit change, bringing the group back in time to the 1980’s. Electric Callboy returned wearing mullet wigs and colorful matching retro tracksuits while the crowd clapped along to the beat before the song exploded into a hardcore breakdown with smoke blasting from both the top and bottom of the stage.

“For the next song we need all of you to jump as high as they can,” Sallach commanded before using “MC Thunder” to turn the venue into a temporary rave with flashing lights and the confetti cannons exploding once more. Next was “Neon,” which “was made to spread some love” as stated by Ratajczak, encouraging fans to get on each other’s shoulders while the venue glowed in neon lights and swaying phone flashlights. During the transition into “Pump It,” the boys ripped off their clothing to reveal their workout outfits, complete with matching headbands and neon teal and pink lights.

Discussing how “the Germans have seen it all,” Ratajczak explained the band wanted to do something different for the next song and instructed the crowd to completely open the floor to dance for “Hurrikan.” Rainbow lighting flooded the venue while the Ratajczak and Sallach’s duet echoed throughout the theater.

An ominous voice soon interrupted the venue before transitioning into a full EDM DJ set by Jack Daniel in cat headphones matched with red and white strobe lights. The crowd erupted once guitarist Pascal Schillo joined in, turning the venue fully into a nightclub before the rest of the band rushed back onstage to get everyone jumping again as the set mashed into a remix of Blink-182’s “All The Small Things.”

The tour “is one of the best times [they’ve] had in [their] lives,” Ratajczak shared with the audience before slowing things down momentarily for “Crystals,” asking the entire crowd to sit before erupting back upward as confetti was blasted above the audience once again. Frank Zummo followed with a drum solo that had the entire audience captivated, cheering loudly for every transition as the lights rapidly flashed around him.

Their versatile set list had the whole crowd on their dancing and grooving for the entirety of the night. The electronic remixes, death metal, and heavenly vocals all come together to create an unforgettable atmosphere. Complete with outfit changes, covers, remixes, and their own music all spanning a wide variety of genres and decades, this tour proves Electric Callboy has a little something for everyone. 

  Electric Callboy made their way into the audience to create a “campfire mood,” asking everyone to sit around the piano and some stools in the middle of the standing room only venue to play “FUCKBOI” acoustically while requesting the crowd keep their phones away and stay in the moment together. Following the incredibly raw and authentic moment, thousands of phone lights illuminated the venue for the acoustic intro of “Every Time We Touch.” The band made their way back toward the main stage as the massive screen transformed into stained glass windows behind them and fans opened up a mosh pit for the final chorus remix of the song.

“MC Thunder II” followed with the band appearing in black hoods resembling ninjas while Daniel handled backup vocals alongside massive bursts of white confetti filling the air. As the song came to a close, Ratajczak shared a massive “high five” with the crowd following the song, as he exclaimed, “good job!” “Elevator Operator” was the final song before the encore, leaving the crowd clapping in rhythm with the lights while chanting for Electric Callboy to return.

As the members made their way back onstage, they all dramatically placed helmets onto their heads synchronously before launching into “RATATATA,” their recent 2025 collaborative release with BABYMETAL. A tribute to BABYMETAL’s vocal sections played on the display while fans screamed every lyric.

The members of Electric Callboy returned once more in space suits for “Spaceman,” continuing the night’s over-the-top theatrical energy before closing the show with “We’ve Got The Moves.” Dressed in matching white armored vests, wigs, shoes, and bright yellow pants, the entire band danced across the stage while rainbow streamers exploded into the crowd one final time.

Before leaving the stage, the band stopped to take a photo with the audience, closing out the night with one final memory shared between Electric Callboy and the thousands of fans packed inside Brooklyn Paramount.
