Tonic Walter is an electronic music duo from southern Germany, formed by longtime friends Maximilian Nestmann and Marcel Vckov. After years in Munich and Berlin, the producers rediscovered their creative core in their rural hometown of Altenstadt in the Bavarian countryside.
Friends since childhood, Max and Marcel first played together in a band before turning to electronic music. As Tonic Walter, they blend melodic house, deep house, and techno, combining analog synths, live instruments, and organic drum grooves with the raw energy of a live band.
With over 120 million streams worldwide, the duo has built a strong reputation as a live act, selling out shows across Europe. In 2025, they joined Tycho and Fritz Kalkbrenner on full tours and released their debut album It All Comes Together, followed by a Europe-wide headline tour. Today, Tonic Walter continues to focus on bringing their distinctive live sound to audiences around the world!

USA! We’re finally coming for you!❤️🔥
We’ve seen all your comments, your messages, and all the love you’ve been sending us over the years. For so long you’ve been asking us to come, and we can’t believe we can finally say...
We’re coming to the US!
This tour means so much to us.
Back in 2019, we traveled to the States together for the very first time. We visited friends, explored New York City, and had no idea what the future would bring. At that point, Tonic Walter had only just begun. We hadn’t even played a single live show yet.
If someone had told us back then that the next time we’d return to America, we’d be coming back to play our own headline shows… we honestly wouldn’t have believed it.
Life can be pretty incredible sometimes.
This September we’ll be spending four unforgettable nights with you in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Miami, and New York City. We seriously can’t wait to meet you all and make some memories together.
We’ll see you in September. Are you ready?
04 SEP | San Francisco (US) | The Independent

Our new track “A New World, Pt. 3” is finally out. It’s another piece that will take you deeper into the world of II.
You can now stream the song here: tonicwalter.bfan.link/a-new-world-pt-3
This track is so much fun to play live because of its driving organic drums and heavy bassline, but emotionally it might be one of the most fragile moments on the album so far.
Where Sari introduced the fracture and Take Me High explored the chaos within it, A New World, Pt. 3 feels like the first distant glimpse of something beyond it all. Not a resolution, but the possibility of one. A quiet feeling of hope appearing somewhere far on the horizon — even if you still don’t know whether it’s real or just something you want to believe in.
Over the last months, II has slowly become a story about contrasts, uncertainty, and searching for meaning in between it all. This track feels like the moment where that search finally starts moving forward.
We also shot the cover analog during the journey where we wrote the album, which makes this release feel even more connected to that time and the memories we created along the way.
We can’t wait to play this one for you all.

Ten years ago, we started making music together as kids.
Back then, we were just having fun and dreaming about what might be possible one day. If someone had told us that music would eventually take us around the world, we probably wouldn’t have believed them.
This weekend was one of those moments that reminded us how crazy all of this really is. We played shows in Mykonos and Athens, met so many amazing people, and spent a few days exploring Greece together.
At one point, we stood overlooking Athens and simply took it all in. Because when you’re constantly working on new music and preparing the next show, it’s easy to forget what is actually happening around you.
Two years ago, we started touring for real.
Back then, there was no booking agency, no promoters, and no big team behind us. We organized everything ourselves and honestly had no idea if anyone would show up.
But you did. Show after show sold out, and we realized that so many of you wanted to experience our music live. Today, we’re lucky to work with an amazing team that helps us bring these tours to life.
But the most incredible part is still meeting you after the shows. People travel from different cities and countries just to be there, and every single time it blows our minds. We’re incredibly grateful that music allows us to experience moments like these.
None of this would be possible without you. The energy we get from you at every show is something we’ll never take for granted.
That’s why we’re so excited to announce our biggest tour ever for our upcoming album "II". We hope this tour is our chance to give something back.
Presale starts Wednesday 10.06.26 4 pm CET ❤️
– Max & Marcel

We’re very proud to release this track. You can now listen to our second single, “Take Me High,” on all streaming platforms: tonicwalter.bfan.link/take-me...
The production of the song has always centered around the catchy lead melody, which, in typical Tonic Walter style, is backed by warm analog pads, vocal chops and vibrant drums. The song is now yours - enjoy!
