1989, Urlaub formed King Køng with, among others, drummer Uwe Hoffmann, who had been Die Ärzte's producer. Urlaub called himself "Jan" during this time, as he wanted to distance himself from his time with Die Ärzte. The group was never successful, and Urlaub declared it defunct in 1999. Bela's band Depp Jones was not really successful either, so in 1993 they decided to reform Die Ärzte. They invited former Depp Jones guitarist Rodrigo González to take over bass duties. They released the comeback album Die Bestie in Menschengestalt ("The Beast in Human Form") and the single "Schrei nach Liebe" ("Cry for Love") In 2001, Urlaub started his solo career with the album Endlich Urlaub! (literally translated meaning "Finally Holiday!", but also a pun on his pseudonym, "Urlaub"). Am Ende der Sonne ("At the End of the Sun") was released in 2005, followed by Livealbum of Death in 2006. The next album he chose to release under the name Farin Urlaub Racing Team, after the band playing alongside him when performing live. The next album titled Die Wahrheit übers Lügen ("The Truth About Lying") was released on 31 October 2008. His most recent studio album, Faszination Weltraum ("Outer Space Fascination"), was released in 2014, as well as a second live compilation album, Danger!, in 2015.

In November 2007, their album, Jazz ist anders ("Jazz is different") was released and was ranked No. 1 in the German Media Control Charts for six consecutive weeks. It was followed by auch ("also") in April 2012 and Hell in October 2020, with Urlaub playing a large role in both in addition to his solo work.

In addition, he listens to Johnny Cash, Depeche Mode, and "more or less everything except free jazz and techno." He has stated that he does not consider himself to be a particularly good guitarist. He says that he often plays "unclean" chords and that he has only a very limited ability to read music, although this has not affected his success as a musician.
