Düsseldorf extends round trip programme


It’s time for convertibles – and the HopOn HopOff sightseeing tour buses are adapting to the spring weather too.

ROCK/POP/CLASSIC

Nena: live & unplugged


With evergreen hit singles such as “99 Red Balloons”, “Leuchtturm”, “Irgendwie, irgendwo, irgendwann” or “Wunder geschehen”, there is barely anybody who can touch Nena as one of the few singers from the Neue Deutsche Welle (New German Wave) to have remained just as popular in the 21st century. No wonder, given that Nena constantly surprises her fans with new ideas and styles. At “Nena: live and unplugged” everything will be different: sparse instrumentation, and lots of acoustic music. You can see her at the Mitsubishi Electric Halle on 27 April. Tickets are available here… more
