A warm, entertaining evening shaped by loyal fans, classic covers and a close connection with the audience.

The Metropol Berlin once again proved why it is one of the city’s most beautiful venues for intimate concerts. With its classic atmosphere and elegant interior, it offered the perfect setting for a night built around closeness between artist and audience. The show was not sold out, and the upper levels remained closed, but the lower floor was nearly full, creating a warm and concentrated atmosphere.

Before the main act, Irish musician Colin Andrew opened the evening with a short set of around thirty minutes. One of the most memorable moments came when he performed “Let’s Dance” by David Bowie, explaining that he likes to research the history of the places where he plays. In Berlin, and especially at the Metropol, Bowie’s presence felt like the right reference: Andrew mentioned Bowie’s connection to the venue and paid tribute to one of his favourite artists with a fitting cover.

Even before entering the venue, the devotion of the audience was clear. A long queue stretched around the building, with many fans clearly aiming for the front rows. Inside, the crowd was mostly middle-aged and older, with many women and plenty of Kiefer Sutherland shirts around the room. It was obvious that many people were there not only for the music, but also for the chance to see an artist they have followed for years.

When Kiefer Sutherland took the stage, his experience as a performer was immediately noticeable. He knows how to hold a room, how to speak to the audience and how to create a relaxed, familiar atmosphere. Backed by a very professional band, he delivered an entertaining set of roughly an hour and a half, built around straightforward songs, repeated choruses and an easy-going country rock spirit.

The set opened with “Down Below”, followed by one of the night’s first covers, “Only Happy When It Rains” by Garbage. From there, the show moved through songs such as “Goodbye California”, “Something You Love”, “Come Back Down”, “Ole’ Lonely Life”, “Chasing the Rain”, “American Farmer”, “Simpler Time”, “Love Will Bring You Home”, “Two Stepping in Time”, “This Is How It’s Done”, “Down in a Hole”, “Friday Night” and “Agave”.

The covers gave the evening some of its most recognizable moments. Alongside Garbage, Sutherland also included “Can’t You See” by The Marshall Tucker Band and “See You on the Other Side” by Ozzy Osbourne, both fitting naturally into the set’s classic rock and Americana atmosphere.

The first encore began with “In the Air Tonight” by Phil Collins, one of the strongest cover moments of the night. It is not an easy song to make your own, but the band gave it a slightly different shape and it worked surprisingly well live. After that came “Starlight”, before Sutherland returned one final time for a second encore with “2 AM”, closing the night in a more intimate and fitting way.

Musically, Sutherland may not be a groundbreaking artist, but that was never really the point of the evening. What he offered was a sincere, entertaining and well-delivered show, carried by a solid band and by his undeniable presence on stage. The audience sang, danced and clearly enjoyed every minute, creating the kind of atmosphere that only truly loyal fans can bring.

In the end, it was a warm and enjoyable concert, without unnecessary pretension, but with plenty of charm. For many in the room, it was not just about seeing a musician — it was about being close to someone they admire, in a beautiful venue, with songs that were easy to sing along to and a night that left the crowd visibly happy.
