Boris Brejcha will retire The Joker at the end of 2028
The masked producer announced the end after a year that included the Tomorrowland Mainstage, Alexandra Palace and a first back-to-back with Eric Prydz.
Boris Brejcha has set an end date. In a video and written statement, the producer said 2028 will be his last year as The Joker, and that at the end of it he will “close the chapter of Boris Brejcha and the Joker.”
Brejcha says he is not sick and has not lost his passion for making music. The decision, he says, is entirely his own. He explained that it followed a long period of reflection. His father always said you should stop when things are at their best, Brejcha said.
On the final year, he said: “We’ll try to play as many shows as possible in 2028 as one huge thank you to all of you.” In the written version he called it “a story with a happy ending,” like a good book.
This year he played the Mainstage at Tomorrowland, headlined Alexandra Palace in London and did his first-ever back-to-back with Eric Prydz.
Dates and locations for the 2028 farewell shows have not been announced.
