Glitterbox Hannover “Work Your Body Tour” - Visit Hannover

Press Release

Glitterbox Hannover “Work Your Body Tour”

On May 11, this dazzling party—celebrating the extravagant lifestyle of the 1970s disco era—will make its debut in the Kuppelsaal at the Hannover Congress Center.

Glitterbox, currently the most successful party on the hotspot island of Ibiza, is heading out on its "Work Your Body Tour" and will make stops in London, New York, Amsterdam, Dubai, and at the Tomorrowland Festival in Belgium, as well as in Hanover.

The organizer of Glitterbox in Hanover is Hannover Veranstaltungs GmbH (HVG), best known as the organizer of the Maschsee Festival and the Herrenhausen International Fireworks Competition. Hans Christian Nolte, managing director of HVG: “Glitterbox is an international brand in the nightlife scene. We’re thrilled that, with the support of Mousse T., we’re able to bring this highlight event to Hanover. Last year, more than 150,000 people danced to the sounds of Glitterbox.” Already at the Berlin Travel Festival in March—a new and forward-looking travel festival at the Arena Kreuzberg—Glitterbox was, alongside the Leinewelle, the top highlight at the young “Hannover Living” trade show booth.

With a soundtrack featuring nu-disco, classic house, and fresh vocal sounds, the Glitterbox creates a genuine party atmosphere that brings everyone together on the dance floor: Under dozens of disco balls and with impressive, exhilarating confetti moments, an electrifying ambiance takes shape. Accompanied by glamorous drag queens traveling in from London, dancers, and plenty of show performances, house music and disco sounds are served up by the scene’s top stars.  In Hanover, Purple Disco Machine, Mousse T., and The Shapeshifters will provide the perfect soundtrack. Mousse T. says: “I’m thrilled that we were able to bring the prestigious Glitterbox event to Hanover and, in doing so, set a new benchmark for the entire club and entertainment scene in Germany.”

The venue – the Dome Hall
In Hanover, the Glitterbox—a true 21st-century disco—meets a venue dating back to 1914. As the centerpiece of the Hanover Congress Center, built on a scale comparable to the Pantheon in Rome, the Kuppelsaal provides a unique and spectacular setting for the Glitterbox’s “Work Your Body Tour.” This is high-class entertainment in Germany’s largest, classical concert hall.

“The HCC is particularly looking forward to this unique event in the Kuppelsaal. Since the renovation of the Kuppelsaal, the frequency of concerts and events held there has increased significantly. The Glitterbox is an absolutely extraordinary event that is now being added to the lineup. Both the international nature of the event and its audience—which is somewhat unusual for the HCC—as well as its connection to Hanover as a city of music and concerts through Mousse T.’s involvement are sure to create an extraordinary highlight in the HCC’s 2019 calendar as well as for Hanover as a whole. And that’s saying something in the 2019 concert season. “Congratulations and kudos to the HVG for having the courage to secure this event for Hannover and to organize it as the event promoter. We’re not only happy to provide the stage, but we’re also staunch supporters of a great idea and a huge party in the Kuppelsaal,” said HCC Director Joachim König.

Express yourself: The Glitterbox captivates partygoers of all stripes. It has a magnetic appeal for countless celebrities, actors, writers, and artists, and it also enjoys a high profile in the gay scene.

Advance sales of “Early Bird” tickets ended on March 24, and from a tourism perspective, they were a great success: 80% of ticket buyers live outside the Hanover region. This adds another highlight to Hanover’s calendar of events, helping to showcase the city as an attractive place to live and study internationally.
