The squadron's hope is to have something closer to a "proper" Eurofighter solo display this year with a busier schedule of events than we've seen from them before - which is great news. And as can be seen from the comment section in their FB post below, one of the events on their tentative schedule is the Antidotum Airshow in Leszno. But all of that is pending final approval at a higher level, so fingers crossed that comes soon.
They certainly won't be calling it the Typhoon Display Team though! That name caused a minor diplomatic storm when it was announced in 1998, as the last aircraft called Typhoon was quite good at destroying German tanks. At one point it was decided to officially scrap the Typhoon name, but it was too late and in the UK especially, the name had stuck. In Germany, however, it's still known only as the Eurofighter EF2000.

It seems this list is rather short of the truth.
Seems European Airshow don't have any clue if these are static or flying appearances. And they've already got one of the static appearances wrong. (As far as that event's press team are concerned.)
