Will Smith botches his performance in Wolfsburg – and makes everyone laugh!

On July 14, 2025, US star Will Smith shook the crowd with his performance in Wolfsburg. Despite mixed weather, the actor and musician's concert bounced off the back of the warehouse stage with temperatures of around 18 degrees and rain. Many fans appeared in rainproof clothing such as jackets and ponchos, but the damp atmosphere did not dampen the good mood. Smith performed as part of the summer festival in the Autostadt, which runs until August 17th.

The evening was a veritable firework of hits, with Smith performing all of his classics. His infectious energy kept the audience sitting still during “Gettin’ Jiggy Wit It,” “Miami,” and “Wild Wild West.” He also had an emotional moment when he honored his late co-star James Avery with a touching black and white photo and a violin player. “Thank you for coming despite the rain!” Smith said several times to his cheering fans, who were watching the evening spellbound.

A slip with humor

After the performance, however, there was a small complication: Smith had difficulty backstage on the slippery floor and almost slipped. In typical Will Smith style, he took this with humor and posted an Instagram video of the incident using a meme of a sliding alpaca. “You made me look like a Will-Paca out here,” the star captioned the hilarious segment. The reactions of his followers were consistently positive and underlined the artist's likeable nature.

The performance marked the start of his small tour of Germany, which includes a total of four concerts. So Smith moves on to Hanover on July 15th and to Frankfurt on July 18th. He will be on stage again in Hanover, while there will be a fantastic final round in Frankfurt. The tickets for Wolfsburg and Hamburg sold out quickly, but there are still a few tickets available for the other cities.

A return and new music

It's the first time in 20 years that Smith has toured with a new studio album. The title of his current work is “Based on a True Story”, and the audience can look forward to not only the old hits, but also new songs. Tickets went on sale on April 28th and prices vary depending on the stage. Tickets for the Lagunenbühne in Wolfsburg were available for 37.70 euros for adults and 20.10 euros for children, while the Porsche stage was priced at 21.20 euros.

At a time when good music and live performances are particularly valued, Will Smith is very popular in the world of live entertainment with his energetic concerts and personable presence. Whether through his moving lyrics or unforgettable melodies - he has his audience firmly under control.

The enthusiasm surrounding the artist and his latest project shows that even a little rain can't harm the musical experience. The performances in Hanover and Frankfurt promise to be at least as impressive, and the anticipation is increasing among the fan base.
