Helene Fischer Opens Stadium Tour in Dresden Before Around 35,000 Fans

Stage Concept and Production

The tour's name "360°" refers to the fact that Fischer does not only perform on a frontal stage during the concerts: via several catwalks, the schlager icon extends far into the audience and flies around on wire cables. With such a setup, Fischer fulfilled the "desire to perform among the concertgoers and thus be as close as possible to all the spectators," as her concert agency announced.

The stadium features a square video cube, under which a 24-meter-high stage runs all the way around. According to reports, the show featured golden hair, a golden microphone, patent leather and leather outfits, dancers, and special effects such as fire, lightning, pyrotechnics, and fog.

Family and Audience

Fischer, who became a mother for the second time last year, is being accompanied on the entire tour by her family, according to her own statements. In an interview in mid-May, she revealed that her two young daughters and her parents would be traveling with her.

During the concert, Fischer also brought a 21-year-old attendee on stage who had grown up with the schlager icon's songs and asked for a photo. Addressing her audience, Fischer said: "Ich kann nur eins sagen, ich wäre heute nicht hier nach 20 Jahren in einem Stadion und dürfte diese Tournee spielen, wenn ihr alle nicht da wärt."

Tour Stops in Europe

The singer, who became a mother for the second time last year, is going on an open-air stadium tour until July 17, performing in major arenas — including in Frankfurt, Cologne, Berlin, Stuttgart, and Munich, as well as in Vienna, Zurich, and Amsterdam. On July 11, she will perform at the Ernst-Happel-Stadion in Vienna. There are also additional concerts in Hamburg and Hanover.

With the tour, Fischer is celebrating her stage anniversary: in 2026, her debut album "Von hier bis unendlich" turns 20 years old. In 2005, Fischer, then 19 years old, had recorded her first song, "Feuer am Horizont," in the studio.

Career and Anniversary

Her probably best-known hit "Atemlos durch die Nacht" had reached number three in 2012 and only climbed to number one at the end of 2023 in a new version together with rapper Shirin David. With her new single "Heute Nacht," Fischer has now reached the top of the German charts for the first time as a solo artist. The song landed at number one one week after its release in May.

Fischer is known for extraordinary stage productions and has previously worked with the "Cirque de Soleil." Fischer is currently working on her ninth studio album, according to her record label.

Before the Dresden concert, Fischer had announced that with the concept she was fulfilling her wish to perform among the concertgoers and be as close to everyone as possible. In a brief statement, she also said: "Ich werde alle mitnehmen."
