The “Schlager unter Palmen” event should have taken place in 2024 as an all-inclusive trip with concerts by various musicians. Wendler had repeatedly shared posts with false claims and extreme content such as conspiracy theories during the Corona period. The events had rolled over since Tuesday, said the Leipzig organizer René Ulbrich on request. Hate comments would have reached him personally.
“Due to the turbulence and criticism from the guests, I decided to cancel the event because we are a peaceful entertainment show where the focus is on music and the event also has to work economically,” explained Ulbrich. Before canceling the trip, he telephoned the booking agencies of Ross Antony, Julian David and Zeitflug, who informed him “that the artists could not take part in the trip”.
Wendler wrote on Facebook that he also understands a little why the organizer canceled the fan trip. He also wrote of “ridiculous distancing from Ross Antony or Julian David or Zeitflug”. At the same time he announced his return to the stages, concert dates should follow soon.
