Helene Fischer at the 96 Stadium

From songs from her early days to “Atemlos durch die Nacht” and “Schau mal herein,” the audience can expect everything that has shaped Helene Fischer into the outstanding singer and entertainer she is today over the past two decades. Helene’s wish to perform in the midst of the concertgoers—and thus be as close as possible to everyone in the audience—is fulfilled by the surround concept. A 360° stage in the center of the stadiums is connected by catwalks that span the entire playing field.

“From Here to Infinity”—just like the title of her 2006 debut album—fans can experience Helene Fischer in all her versatility. A stunning stage design and a sensational show provide the backdrop for the biggest hits of her extraordinary career, featuring many heart-stopping moments.

After the event, they are deleted immediately unless they are required for an ongoing investigation. Video surveillance is carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the applicable national data protection laws. The privacy of visitors is respected.
