"Atemlos": 35,000 Fans at Helene Fischer's Tour Kickoff

Multi-level stage setup in the stadium

The tour’s name, “360°,” delivers exactly what it promises. Helene Fischer performs in every corner of the soccer stadium: The pop icon walks far into the audience on several catwalks, flies around on wire ropes, and delivers one hit after another. 

With this setup, Fischer fulfilled her “desire to perform in the midst of the concertgoers and thus be as close as possible to all spectators,” as her concert agency announced in advance.

The singer, who became a mother for the second time last year, is embarking on an open-air stadium tour through July 17 and will perform in major arenas—including in Frankfurt, Cologne, Berlin, Stuttgart, and Munich, as well as in Vienna, Zurich, and Amsterdam. She is celebrating her stage anniversary with this tour: in 2026, her debut album “Von hier bis unendlich” will turn 20.

According to the concert organizers, Dresden was not initially part of the tour but was added to the itinerary due to high demand. There will also be additional concerts in Hamburg and Hanover.

A little bit princess, a little bit “femme fatale”

Fischer is known for extraordinary stage productions and has previously collaborated with “Cirque du Soleil.” At the tour kickoff in Dresden, the pop icon appears just as we know her: a bit of a princess, a bit of a “femme fatale”—sometimes carried on people’s hands, sometimes lasciviously lounging on a golden throne. With great pathos, she evokes grand emotions. The fans respond with applause and sing-alongs.

In 2005, at the age of 19, Fischer recorded her first song, “Feuer am Horizont,” in the studio, she recalls. The song is featured just as much as the new single “Heute Nacht.” The song reached number one a week after its release in May. After a 20-year career, Fischer thus actually topped the German charts for the first time as a solo artist. Her most famous hit, “Atemlos durch die Nacht,” had reached number three in 2012 and only claimed the top spot at the end of 2023 in a re-release featuring rapper Shirin David. According to her record label, Fischer is currently working on her ninth studio album.
