The legendary band Rammstein will once again draw thousands to Dresden to present their incomparable live performances. From May 15 to 18, four concerts will take place in the Flutrinne, and the city is expecting over 200,000 fans. Not everyone has a ticket, but that doesn't have to be a barrier to being part of the event.
Influence of the event on Dresden
The four consecutive concerts by Rammstein are not only cultural highlights for Dresden, but also economic ones. Local stores, restaurants and hotels experience a significant increase in visitor numbers. Even though the band's official playing time is limited to 10 p.m. due to noise regulations, the city fills with a lively atmosphere that extends far beyond the concert times.
How to get there: The best ways to get to the concert site
The best way to get to the Flutrinne concert site is undoubtedly to use public transport, as the roads around the event site will be busy and parking spaces around the site will be tight. The Dresdner Verkehrsbetriebe (DVB) and the Verkehrsverbund Oberelbe (VVO) have set up additional means of transport to cope with the rush. Visitors can use streetcar lines 9 and E9 from the Kaditz P+R parking lot directly to the nearby Kongresszentrum stop. The additional special stops at Marienbrücke and Pieschener Allee will allow quick access to the entrance.
Departure: Getting home after the concert
After the end of the concert, the DVB offers more frequent services on lines 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 62 and 68. Additional booster lines such as the E9, E10 and E11 have been set up to ensure efficient departures. From the Vorwerkstraße stop and Mitte station, streetcar lines 10 and E10 will take concertgoers quickly and safely to their accommodation or to other transport connections.
Security on public transport
Despite the increased volume of passengers, no additional security staff will be deployed. The transport company is relying on its tried-and-tested staff, who will also ensure safety on buses and trains on regular days.
Optimal listening experience without a ticket
For all those who were unable or unwilling to get a ticket, the Übigauer Ufer is the ideal place to listen to the music of Rammstein. From Übigau Castle to Ballhaus Watzke, the wind carries the sounds directly across the Elbe. Fans can settle down here and still be part of the concert experience in a relaxed atmosphere. Although the visual elements of the show will be missed, the acoustic component offers a great opportunity to experience the atmosphere of a Rammstein concert.
