In 2022, Helene Fischer (38) will only give one concert in Germany. The show will also be the biggest of her career to date. On August 20th, the Schlager Queen will appear on the open-air site of the Munich Exhibition Center. At the mega-event, one superlative follows the next.
How the concert backdrop could work was already seen at the show by Andreas Gabalier (37) on August 6th. The self-proclaimed Volks-Rock'n'Roller reviewed his event on his Instagram account. "For eternity," he wrote about two photos that show him on the gigantic stage in front of a sea of spectators. In addition to Gabalier and Fischer, Robbie Williams (48) will be the third star to appear on the open-air site of Messe München in 2022. His concert is on August 27th.
A stage was built for the three events that has never existed in Germany before. At 150 meters, the stars can put on a huge show. The construction work for the spectacle began in July. The organizer, the Leutgeb Entertainment Group, took the fans step by step and showed the creation of the huge stage on Instagram.
The "Süddeutsche Zeitung" was able to take a look behind the scenes at the beginning of August. 5,000 spotlights ensure the right lighting. The stage is open at the top. If it rains, there is a second level under which the musicians can shelter. This bridge alone is 50 meters wide.
Not only the stage is enormous, but also the space for the spectators: 150,000 fans have space on the site. At least 90,000 fans celebrated with Andreas Gabalier. At the beginning of August, 130,000 tickets were already sold for Helene Fischer.
According to the "Süddeutsche Zeitung", 5,000 employees are taking care of the project, and 500 articulated lorries drove the equipment to the event location. According to the organizer Klaus Leutgeb, the safety of the visitors is very important to him. 500,000 euros were spent on the lightning protection system alone.
In this big setting, will you even be able to recognize Helene Fischer as a single fan on stage? Nobody should be further than 168 meters from the stage. 18 speaker towers ensure the right sound.
The concert doesn't start until 8 p.m., but admission to the event site starts at 12 noon. According to the organizer's website, there is a so-called adventure area that offers numerous food and drink stands to while away the time until Helene Fischer's show.
The event also takes place in bad weather. Visitors should therefore think of rain protection. Other recommended souvenirs are hearing and sun protection and sturdy shoes. On hot days, it is also essential to drink enough water. Well prepared, nothing stands in the way of attending the biggest Helene Fischer concert to date.
