On a gigantic stage, Helene Fischer fans can see numerous special effects, fireworks and even a "flying Helene".

Munich – The pop queen's appearance on Saturday (August 20) in Riem will be the largest concert by a solo artist in Germany to date.

The gigantic stage at the trade fair was specially rebuilt for this.

Unlike Andreas Gabalier, Helene Fischer will dance over two catwalks that go from the stage towards the audience like a big V.

A crossbar connects the foothills to form a triangle.

A crane arm is mounted on it, in the basket at the extreme end of which the pop singer can be swung to lofty heights or in a semicircle over the audience.

The wire ropes stretched across the site are barely visible.

Straps are attached to them, in which the Schlagerqueen, who is known for the acrobatic performances at her concerts, fly over the heads of her fans.

More than 130,000 fans have been announced for Saturday in Riem.

Again significantly more than at the Gabalier concert two weeks ago.

Helene Fischer in Munich Riem: Johanniter recommend sturdy shoes and lots of water

"It's like the whole of Ingolstadt in one place," explains Johanniter operations manager Fabian Herzog.

The Johanniter will accompany the concert with around 130 volunteer doctors and paramedics.

Above all, they recommend that fans wear sturdy, comfortable shoes.

"Not all areas are asphalted and it's a long way from the subway or from the parking lots." Tip number two: drink enough.

Admission begins at 12 p.m., the show starts at 8 p.m. and ends at 10.30 p.m.

During this time you should treat yourself to one and a half to two liters of alcohol-free liquid.

Because rain is forecast for Saturday, rain gear would also be a good idea.

For emergencies or injuries, five medical stations are in operation on the concert grounds.

After the Helene Fischer concert is before the Robbie Williams concert.

The stage will then be rebuilt again by August 27th.
