Helene Fischer: Tour kickoff in Dresden in front of over 35,000 fans

After a nearly three-year hiatus from touring, Helene Fischer kicked off her “360°” stadium tour in Dresden with a spectacular and grandiose show. According to the organizers, more than 35,000 fans at Dresden’s Rudolf Harbig Stadium attended the singer’s performance. Fischer performed her biggest hits from nearly 20 years of her stage career, including “Atemlos durch die Nacht,” “Herzbeben,” and “Null auf 100.”

“I can only say one thing: I wouldn’t be here today, 20 years later, in a stadium, playing this tour, if you all weren’t here,” said Fischer. The 41-year-old not only delivered a perfectly choreographed show without any lulls or pauses but also found time for emotional moments with fans, such as a spontaneous photo on stage with a 21-year-old audience member who grew up listening to the pop icon’s songs, and reading fan messages aloud.

Multi-level stage setup in the stadium

Fischer appeared in a variety of outfits amidst a spectacular, multi-level stage setup in the stadium of the Dynamo Dresden soccer club. Set against a backdrop of flashing lights, flame throwers, crowds of dancers, and countless cameras, the show turned into a multimedia spectacle. The Schlager icon was able to walk deep into the audience via several catwalks. With this setup, Fischer fulfilled her “wish to perform amidst 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 a major open-air stadium tour through July 17 and will perform in large 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.
