Peter Schilling live – Major Tom: völlig losgelöst

With his music, Peter Schilling has shaped entire generations and continues to inspire people worldwide to this day. In 2026, the artist celebrated his 70th birthday, and he is marking the occasion with the new immersive fulldome program “Major Tom: Completely Detached.”

A production by the Planetarium Berlin Foundation in collaboration with Peter Schilling, which breaks new ground in combining music and astronomy with elaborate fulldome visualizations and 3D sound design specifically tailored to the dome.

You can experience “Major Tom: Completely Detached” exclusively at the Zeiss Großplanetarium for six months. Starting in April 2026, the program will then be shown in planetariums worldwide.

Peter Schilling has been one of the leading voices in German pop music since the 1980s. The fulldome experience “Major Tom: Completely Detached” is a multimedia journey through his broad musical spectrum. Iconic global hits such as “Major Tom (Completely Detached),” “The Different Story,” “Terra Titanic,” and “Die Wüste lebt” are complemented by new, previously unreleased compositions. The result is a futuristic experience that brings music to life in an innovative way.

Under the artistic direction of Rocco Helmchen and with 3D sound design by Tom Ammermann, in collaboration with internationally renowned artists such as laser artist Paul Alty, fulldome designer Sébastien Labrunie, fractal filmmaker Julius Horsthuis, motion designer Sergey Prokofyev, and audiovisual artist Meisam Nemati, a sound and visual experience is created that touches the audience on every level. Through the interplay of the various media, a multi-layered, immersive dimension unfolds within the dome, where artistic soundscapes and scientifically inspired aesthetics merge into an impressive overall experience.
