Electronic beats meet baroque: Dresden DJ Purple Disco Machine inaugurated the reopened Zwingerhof as an event venue with a concert in front of thousands of fans.
In front of the façade bathed in purple light and a giant disco ball in the crown gate, 9,000 visitors celebrated to his danceable mix of funk, house and disco. In addition to popular classics, the Dresden native introduced his audience to new tracks. He also had special surprises in store for the performance in the heart of his home city. For example, the water features in the fountains of the garden ensemble repeatedly danced to the beat.
"It's an honor to celebrate my hometown in such a special way and to perform in this setting," said the internationally acclaimed Dresden DJ and producer Tino Piontek alias Purple Disco Machine in advance. The Grammy winner will be performing three more times in front of the baroque backdrop until May 25. The rush for tickets was huge: the first three dates were completely sold out just a few minutes after the announcement. There will therefore be an additional show on Whit Monday - for which there are also no more tickets available. A total of 39,000 people will now be celebrating in the Zwingerhof over the Whitsun weekend.
