Arena Belgrade

TOKIO HOTEL will perform in Belgrade Arena on March 28th!

No one in the world is more prepared to bask in the glow of global rock stardom than the
members of Tokio Hotel. Humanoid is only their second English release, the follow up to
2008's Scream, but to millions of fans across the globe, they're already icons.

"Things are just starting for us in a lot of countries" says Bill Kaulitz, the band's front man.
"What we've already experienced has been just great, and we're looking forward to it starting
again." 

The biggest act to come out of Germany in 20 years, Tokio Hotel has gone 10x platinum,
scored four No. 1 singles and sold out arenas and stadiums across Europe. They scored a Best
New Artist VMA from MTV in 2008.

Their rocket to success launched in 2001 when Bill and his twin brother Tom --the band's hiphop-
tinged, dreadlocked guitarist --formed the band along with bassist Georg Listing, now 22,
and drummer Gustav Schafer, now 21. They started at age 10 performing for small crowds
around their hometown, Magdeburg, a salt-mining village that was formerly part of East
Germany.

Growing up in one of the most dismal parts of Germany, Bill and Tom were different from their
classmates, almost alien. They were the underdogs. The twins knew that they had to break out
of there.

Tom had started fooling around with a guitar at age 7 and at 13 together with an already spiky-
haired Bill, they caught the attention of some of Europe's best-known producers (including
Humanoid producer David Jost) and solidified their heartfelt pop-rock formula.

Originally called Devlish, they changed their name before releasing their first German-language
record, Schrei (Scream in English). By 2005, they embarked on what would be the most
successful debut tour of Germany by a new artist. In 2007, they released their second German
record, Zimmer 483 (Room 483 in English), and were selling out monster European arena
shows in minutes.

Like wildfire, the band gained the attention of an entire generation. In France, the group's
popularity exploded. They went from playing small club gigs for 500 to performing at the foot of
the Eiffel Tower for a crowd of 500,000 screaming fans phonetically belting out the words to
Tokio Hotel's German hits. Soon after they made a history by becoming the first German band
to score a #1 hit on the Israeli radio charts.

In 2008, after a grueling 43 shows, Bill endured surgery for cysts on his vocal cords but was
back on the road performing around the world within two months, shortly after Scream
was
released for the first time in the U.S. in 2008.

Humanoid is packed with much of the same emotion that has connected with multitudes of
young fans. And in this age of Rock Band and Guitar Hero, the record is full of opportunities for
audience participation.

The first single, "Automatic" is a metallic anthem with layered, buzzing guitars, stomping
percussion, and a falsetto chorus made to be belted out by a stadium full of people. "World
Behind My Wall" redefines the power ballad with depth, introspection, musical confidence and
an irresistible sing-along chorus.

While recording this time around, though, the band was in its most experimental phase to date.
They tracked songs in Hamburg, Miami, and L.A. "Bill drove us all crazy, constantly coming in
with things, even though the old songs weren't finished yet," says Tom, who's fond of frequently
ribbing his brother. "Apart from that, we just didn't limit ourselves, and we used new
instruments."

There are more electronic sounds on Humanoid. The first single "Automatic" explores the
relationships between every day emotions and every day conveniences.

"How many things happen automatically every day?" Bill asks. "The door opens and closes
automatically, shifting gears in a car; a camera lens --all of those are always positive things, but
when the mechanical quality of the automatic meets human things like love, then suddenly it
becomes extremely negative. Love has to be spontaneous and genuine, never automatic and
cold." That's the theme that moves people.

Along with the new sounds, new subjects, new live show, and even Bill's new style, longtime
fans will still find the constant connection to Tokio Hotel's raw honesty and emotion.

"We love our fans because they are the loudest of all and do such crazy things," Bill says. "They
always support us, no matter what has happened, and a lot has happened."
