In 2022 there were some concerts that excited many people. These live moments caused goosebumps.
After the long concert break caused by Corona, numerous live performances were again on the program in 2022. Some musicians also set new standards. These concerts provided goosebump moments this year.
Helene Fischer
Hit queen Helene Fischer (38) gave only one Germany concert in 2022 – in Munich. On August 20, she stood on the stage for almost two and a half hours in front of 130,000 spectators at the Munich Exhibition Center. It was the biggest concert of her career so far. Shortly after 8 p.m. Fischer began her first song with “Exactly this feeling”, after which she floated across the stage on a wire rope.
She dedicated the hit “Hand in Hand” to her fiancé Thomas Seitel, with whom she has a child. But of course the fans also got to hear hits like “Atemlos”. ZDF summarized the highlights of the XXL show in the 75-minute concert film “Helene Fischer – When everything went nuts”. 70 concerts in Germany, Austria and Switzerland are to follow in 2023.
Andrew Gabalier
The Austrian singer Andreas Gabalier (38) also made tens of thousands of fans dance in Munich. More than 90,000 people gathered on August 6th to see Volks-Rock’n’Roller at the Munich Exhibition Centre. “Munich, unforgettable”, the singer explained via Instagram at the time. “For eternity,” was his opinion. He also gave it his all for around two and a half hours, hits like “Hulapalu” couldn’t be missing. Gabalier had previously announced further concerts for spring 2023, for which the Austrian will come to Germany.
Robbie Williams
The third and last artist to appear at the Munich exhibition center was British superstar Robbie Williams (48). Around 100,000 fans also came to his place on August 27th. In addition to a huge stage 150 meters wide and 30 meters high, the musicians also had 5,100 spotlights and 2,800 square meters of LED walls. Of course, in addition to new songs, Williams also played some of his big hits. Among other things, the viewers could look forward to “She’s the One”, “Something Stupid”, “Come Undone” or “Supreme”.
After more than two hours, the fans finally got “Angels”. “You are great, Munich! Thank you so much. I love you all. Rob,” wrote the musician after the concert on Instagram. The British superstar will also return to Germany in 2023, playing in four German cities as part of his “XXV Tour” in February.
Rammstein
The band Rammstein is known for their sophisticated and fire-intensive stage show. In 2022 they demonstrated their skills live and played in the stadiums in Klagenfurt, Berlin, Hamburg and Düsseldorf. All German dates were sold out after a short time. If you didn’t get any tickets back then, the rockers will be moving through their homeland again in 2023. Accordingly, the band will perform twice in the Munich Olympic Stadium (June 7th and 8th, 2023) and twice in the Berlin Olympic Stadium (July 15th and 16th, 2023).
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran (31) is one of the most successful singers in the world. As part of his “+ – = ÷ x Tour” the British musician stopped in Gelsenkirchen, Munich and Frankfurt. He has played three stadium open airs in each city. The special thing: He stood on a revolving stage in the middle of the stadium. So all fans could get a good look at the singer. When he will appear again remains uncertain. The 31-year-old recently announced that he would retire for the rest of the year and has “signed off until 2023”, as he explained on Instagram.
