CHICKEN ATTACK IN THE ALPS: TAKEO ISCHI JOINS FULL METAL MAYRHOFEN!

You’ve been guessing. We’ve been keeping quiet. Now it’s official: Takeo Ischi is joining Full Metal Mayrhofen 2027 as our special guest! We’ve always had a soft spot for unexpected guests. And this one is well up for some Metal.

Not familiar with Takeo? The Japanese singer and yodeller found his musical and physical home in Bavaria, building a following far beyond traditional folk music. Then “Chicken Attack” turned him into an international internet sensation and introduced a whole new generation to his extraordinary voice. Japan, yodelling and a chicken with combat skills. Somehow, it all makes perfect sense.

And he’s already earned his metal credentials: Back in 2019, Takeo joined CHTHONIC on stage at Taiwan’s Megaport Festival for a metal version of “Chicken Attack”. So this won’t be his first encounter with heavy guitars. Next stop: the Zillertal!

At Full Metal Mayrhofen, you’ll catch Takeo performing up in the mountain pastures, with the Alps as his backdrop, plenty of humour and a voice that could probably reach the next valley without a PA. Throw a crowd of Metalheads into the mix, and we’ve got ourselves a very good afternoon.

And there might be more in store: Takeo may have an extra surprise or two up his sleeve. We’ll keep those under wraps for now.

Takeo’s ready. Are you?
