Shortly before the final - EM-Boost with concerts and e-sports
Despite the last EM game in NRW taking place in Dortmund for the semifinals, the program in NRW locations continues until the final on Sunday. In Dortmund's Westfalenpark, there are concert days at the end of the EM weekend.
On Friday, approximately Michael Schulte and Clueso perform for free outside. On Saturday, Alice Merton and Die Fantastischen 4 perform in the Westfalenpark. Since the number of visitors is limited to 18,000, tickets must be purchased in advance, according to the organizer. This costs 5 Euros for service fees. However, the ticket includes free public transportation on the respective day.
E-Sport Program in Dortmund
Fans in Dortmund can then watch the final on Sunday in the Fanzone Friedensplatz. A LED cube built around the Peace Monument with four screens will broadcast the game in four directions. In addition, there is an extensive E-Sports program in the Fanzone until Sunday. This includes tournament and quiz formats as well as meetings with professional E-Footballers, according to the organizer.
In Gelsenkirchen, the time before the final is partly dedicated to E-Sports. On Saturday and Sunday, E-Sports tournaments take place in Nordsternpark. In addition, rapper Eko Fresh performs on Friday in the Fanzone. On Saturday, there is also an Eleven-meter City Championship and performances by local bands. The final is then shown in the Fanzone on the public viewing screen.
DJs perform in Düsseldorf
Musically, it will be an eventful last EM weekend in Düsseldorf. On the day before the final, DJs David Puentez and Topic perform in the Fanzone on the Burgplatz on Saturday. On Sunday, the final is shown at the Burgplatz and at the Schauspielhaus. Whether the public viewing area on the Rhine embankment is used depends on the audience flow, according to a city spokesperson. Visitors to the Rheinkirmes starting on Friday can also follow the final. The final is shown in the Festzelt of the Shooters near the Rhine quay.
Cologne had already drastically reduced public viewing in the city after the German team's elimination from the EM. The public viewing at the Tanzbrunnen and the public viewing area on the Konrad-Adenauer-Ufer will no longer be used, the city announced.
