Andreas Gabalier

Austrian folk singer Andreas Gabalier left 72,000 fans swaying in the month of June this year. His concerts in the stadium in the year 2016, 2017 and 2018 were runaway hits.

Fifty thousand spectators gave a standing ovation to the versatile 68-year-old English drummer, singer, songwriter Phil Collins when he performed in the arena in June. It was a nostalgic concert through and through.

Bon Jovi

American rock band Bon Jovi and Munich cannot get enough of each other. The band came to the Munich stadium for the seventh time in July this year and tickets sold like hot cakes.

P!nk

American singer and songwriter P!nk came back to Munich in July 2019 after five years and just like Rammstein, the audience roared approval and demanded an encore. It is expected that another concert will be held soon.

Metallica

And last but not the least, the American heavy metal band – kings of metal – Metallica performed in the spectacular stadium as recently as on August 23, 2019 as part of their ‘Wired World Tour’. Like the other concerts, this event too was a spectacular success.
