That will be four huge events in the coming summer at the exhibition center in Riem - and the excitement is just as big in advance. There is a row around the open-air concerts!


That will be four huge events in the coming summer at the exhibition center in Riem - and the excitement is just as big in advance.

There is a row around the open-air concerts!

The advance booking for the performances of Andreas Gabalier *, Helene Fischer * Robbie Williams * has already started, and there is talk of a fourth concert with top-class performers.

The organizer of the shows is the entrepreneur Klaus Leutgeb from Graz (Austria).

While music fans are happy, politicians and other organizers are critically discussing the plan.

The Trudering-Riem * district committee feared massive noise and traffic pollution for residents.

Because: Around 150,000 fans from German-speaking countries are expected for each of the concerts.

They all have to arrive at the same time - and many of them also park somewhere ... And then there's open-air sound ...

Munich: mega concerts by Helene Fischer & Co. cause trouble

Ex-City Councilor Herbert Danner (Greens) also publicly criticizes what has long been disputed in the town hall: How the fair can compete with the Olympic Park event site.

He says: “Here two urban daughters compete with each other.

This is also worrying with regard to the planned renovation of the Olympic Stadium, which will cost millions. "

Munich: Planning for concerts with space for over 100,000 visitors

Economic advisor Clemens Baumgärtner (CSU) strongly rejects this. "The Olympiapark does not dispute any concerts that could also take place there." Leutgeb confirms that there are no tour stops, but rather specially designed performances where the organizer sets everything up. And: "The Olympic Stadium is completely unsuitable for this concept." In addition, it needs space for over 100,000 visitors - also to finance the appearances of the superstars. Because of the high fees and the unusual dimensions, he was able to convince the artists of the concerts in the first place. The stage could be up to 170 meters wide. The complex structures for the stage and spectator stands cost money and time, which is why he wants to leave them standing for two months. “Blocking the Olympic Stadium for two months - totally unthinkable!“Especially since the European Championships will take place there in August.

Volks-Rock'n'Roller Andreas Gabalier (August 6th), Schlager-Queen Helene Fischer (August 20th), and world star Robbie Williams (August 27th) will perform here in the concert summer 2022 - tickets are always available on the Internet.

Not yet officially confirmed, but a hot rumor: The Rolling Stones - the cult band around Mick Jagger and Keith Richards - could also give a concert here.

If it hadn't worked out with Riem, Leutgeb would not have come to Munich at all.

"I had five alternatives, including Berlin, the Hamburg trotting track and the Hockenheimring".

He came to Munich because of Pope Benedict's 2006 service at the fair.

Otherwise there is no venue for his concept here.


Exhibition grounds as a stage for the Stones?

Then Munich would have left money lying around, said Baumgärtner.

Estimates speak of around 300 million euros for tourism, trade and concert suppliers.


Messe München's managing director Klaus Dittrich makes it clear: "In the future, Messe München will only endeavor to organize major cultural events that, due to their size, cannot take place at other venues and would therefore be completely lost for the city of Munich *." The future of the exhibition companies lies no longer solely in the rental of exhibition space.

Every request for concert events on the open-air site that attracts more than 100,000 visitors is examined.
