The daily program of the EURO 2024 FESTIVAL Stuttgart on June 28, 2024
FAN ZONE SCHLOSSPLATZ:
On match days, football reigns supreme at the Fan Zone Schlossplatz, where football fans meet up for public viewing. Now music lovers can get their money's worth - for free. In a picturesque city setting, visitors can experience unique concert moments with major national acts.
The SWR DJ will kick things off at 5.30 pm before JELLINA, one of the most exciting talents on the German music scene, demonstrates her skills. Julia Meladin, another hot newcomer to German-language music who landed a viral hit with the song "Angst", will then take over. The programme continues with Orry Jackson, whose sometimes soulful, sometimes spectacular live performances are becoming increasingly popular.
The second half of the concert will be introduced by pop artist and songwriter Octavian, who landed one of last year's summer hits with "Mädchen auf dem Pferd". This will be followed by pop artist Mike Singer, who has already topped the German charts with four albums. Pop superstar Pietro Lombardi, a guarantee for top positions in the charts ("Señorita" and "Phänomenal") and top ratings on television ("Deutschland sucht den Superstar"), will conclude the program. Admission is free of charge. There will be 15 catering establishments offering a wide range of culinary delights.
Program at the Fan Zone Schlossplatz on June 28, 2024 in detail:
4:00 pm: Admission
5:30 pm: SWR DJ
6:25 pm: JELLINA
JELLINA released her debut single "Alles" when she was just 16 years old and immediately recorded over 10 million streams on Spotify. She immediately laid a remarkable foundation for her music career. Now the 21-year-old from Munich has released her fifth single, 'Leben war Geil', which once again emphasises her status as one of the most exciting must-watch talents on the German-speaking music scene.
6:45 pm: Julia Meladin
"Angst", the newcomer's debut single, has racked up more than 1.3 million streams in a very short space of time and the 20-year-old singer-songwriter already has more than 290,000 followers on TikTok. Why? Because Julia Meladin writes songs that not only speak to her, but also to many people from the heart, that touch you deeply and won't let you go any time soon.
7:00 pm: Orry Jackson
At the age of four, Orry Jackson stood on stage for the first time and moved all the guests at the event to tears even then. Today, many years later, he is a live sensation who makes every stage shake. After top 50 hits, participation in the Eurovision Song Contest preliminary round, support for Pietro Lombardi and the online success of his song with David Alaba, his path is clearly heading towards album success.
7:15 pm: Octavian
The pop artist and songwriter Octavian knows how to create images with his words that transport you to other worlds. The versatile pop writer captures his entire chaotic life as a musician in his songs, because no two days are the same. Octavian shot to the top of the German charts with "Mädchen auf dem Pferd" - a techno anthem that temporarily made him the most viral singer in Germany.
7:45 pm: Mike Singer
24-year-old Mike Singer from Kehl is one of the most successful and widest-reaching artists of the social media generation. Sold-out headlining tours, four #1 albums, winner of the "MTV European Music Award" and 1.4 million followers on Instagram speak for themselves. Mike Singer celebrated his biggest hit to date with "Verdammt, ich lieb dich".
9:00 pm: Pietro Lombardi
Pietro Lombardi is one of Germany's biggest pop acts. In spring 2022, he completed his most successful live tour to date, which earned him a Sold Out Award at the Lanxess Arena Cologne, among other things. As a DSDS judge, Pietro Lombardi has also established himself as a real crowd-puller and guarantor of mega ratings. Summer, sun and plenty of hot beach party vibes are the Lombardi promise for great concert evenings in the open-air season!
11:00 pm: End of the event
Note to media representatives
