===German songwriting and recent activity (2014–present)=== The band celebrated their 20th anniversary in April 2014 with the single "Das Neue bleibt beim Alten" ("The new stays old") featuring [[Tim McIlrath]] from [[Rise Against]], the very first Donots song in German including McIlrath singing his part in German as well. They also participated in the German re-recording of "[[Do They Know It's Christmas?#German version|Do They Know It's Christmas?]]", which reached No. 1 in Germany. In December 2014, they played their biggest headlining show of their career yet in front of 6,500 people. Because of the positive response of the 20th anniversary single, they decided to record an entire album in German. Their tenth studio album ''[[Karacho (album)|Karacho]]'' ("noise" or "crash") was released in February 2015 along with its lead single "Ich mach nicht mehr mit" ("I won't take part in this anymore"). The album reached No. 5 at the German album charts, the band's highest-charting position yet. The "Karacho Tour" was originally planned to take place in March, but had to be postponed to November 2015 because of an injury by drummer Eike. The band returned to Japan in May 2015, where they released an English version of the album titled ''¡Carajo!''. The Donots participated in the [[Bundesvision Song Contest 2015]], representing their state [[North Rhine-Westphalia]]. They reached second place with their song "Dann ohne mich" ("Then without me"), which attacks right-wing organizations such as [[Pegida]] and addresses the resurgence of right-wing mindsets in the German public because of the [[European migrant crisis]]. They celebrated their 1000th concert in December 2016. The band released their eleventh studio album and second German-language release in January 2018, ''Lauter als Bomben'' ("Louder than bombs"), along with a live DVD of their 1000th concert, followed by an extensive two-year tour. Shortly after the tour, the Donots celebrated their 25th anniversary with a compilation called ''Silverhochzeit'' ("Silver marriage"), released in July 2019.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Donots: Silverhochzeit (CD) – jpc.de |url=https://www.jpc.de/jpcng/poprock/detail/-/art/donots-silverhochzeit/hnum/9143777 |access-date=2023-01-30 |website=www.jpc.de |language=de}}</ref> They also did a Anniversary Tour called "25th Birthday Slam", that was released as a CD and called "Birthday Slams" later in 2020.

[[Campino (singer)|Campino]] from [[Die Toten Hosen]] made a Guest appearance there. Also on that show, Donots premiered a new song, that would be included on their new album ''Heut ist ein guter Tag'' ("Today is a good day"), releasing on February 10.
