Location and venue

Lanxess Arena is one of Europe’s most recognizable multi-purpose arenas, built for big moments—from headline concerts to major sports and spectacular shows. Its striking dome-like profile and smart interior layout make it easy to reconfigure, while a capacity of up to 20,000 seats keeps it firmly in the top tier for touring productions and large-scale events.

Inside, the experience is unmistakably “arena”: powerful sound, large video screens, and modern staging keep the focus on the performance, with strong sightlines across different sections. Visitors also appreciate the practical comforts—bars, restaurants, and service points—paired with clear signage that helps you move around smoothly.

The micro-location is a real advantage: Willy-Brandt-Platz 3, Cologne, Germany. Entrances are arranged around the plaza next to the building, and it’s a short walk from the nearby Bf Deutz/LANXESS arena stop; if you’re driving, you’ll find parking options in the surrounding area of the complex. For the broader picture of getting around the city, see the description below.

Destination guide: Cologne

Cologne (Köln), a lively Rhine-side metropolis, is not only home to the famous carnival but also one of Europe’s most attractive destinations for top-tier concerts and sporting events. The city blends a strong cultural scene with major arenas and stadiums, making it an ideal choice for an “event trip”. On top of that, Cologne offers diverse dining and accommodation for every budget, from hotels in the center to practical options across the wider urban area, and visitors often highlight the sense of safety and how easy it is to get around.

A major advantage is the infrastructure: the KVB network (Stadtbahn and buses), regional trains, and the S-Bahn make it quick to reach venues such as the LANXESS Arena or RheinEnergieSTADION. Whether you arrive by air via Flughafen Köln/Bonn or by train at Köln Hauptbahnhof (Köln Hbf), you’re usually only a few transfers away from the main halls and city districts, with clear signage and frequent departures.

Before or after the event, take the chance to stroll along the Rhein and through the Altstadt, head up to the Kölner Dom, or cross the Hohenzollernbrücke for a panoramic city view. In the Rheinauhafen district and around squares like Alter Markt and Heumarkt, it’s easy to find cafés and traditional pubs serving Kölsch—so your stay in Cologne becomes more than just the ticket itself.

About the performer

Die Schlagernacht des Jahres – Das Original is widely regarded as one of the most recognizable festival concepts dedicated to German Schlager. As a touring concert night, it visits major indoor venues and occasional open-air stages, bringing thousands of fans together in one place. The show offers a broad snapshot of the genre—from classic evergreens to current hits—so even first-timers quickly catch the choruses. The mood stays bright and welcoming, and different generations naturally mingle, dance, and sing along from the first notes.

The focus is not only on the songs but also on the production: powerful sound, precisely directed lighting, and a large video backdrop create a full audio-visual experience no matter where you sit or stand. On a typical night the pace is fast, with frequent artist changes and minimal downtime, keeping the energy steady. The event is designed for large crowds with clear wayfinding and smooth entry flows, which helps maintain a relaxed sense of safety even on sold-out dates, supported by good space management and well-timed breaks.

The festival concept is built around a diverse, often changing line-up that combines established stars with newer names on the scene. The program runs for several hours and stays dynamic: dance-ready tracks alternate with sing-along refrains, more rock-leaning moments, and emotional ballads that lift the atmosphere. Instead of one long set, you get a “best of” night with multiple shades of Schlager, keeping the audience engaged. Fans especially value this format when they want many hits in one compact evening without losing momentum.

Visitors often describe the experience as a big, friendly party with strong interaction: greetings, collective singing, and short on-stage chats are part of the standard. Themed props and a fan-like atmosphere are common, yet without aggression—the crowd is there to celebrate music and togetherness. When the on-stage flow is well structured, the hours pass quickly, and the sense of connection with both artists and audience lasts long after the final song, with that familiar “earworm” on the way home.

For a ticket portal, the practical value is worth highlighting: Die Schlagernacht des Jahres is a solid choice for couples, groups, and families because it offers “multiple artists in one night” with a clear program structure. Since the cast can vary by city and date, checking official channels, the app, and the schedule before arrival is recommended. That makes it easier to plan your trip, breaks, parking, and the best time to enter the venue—and it helps to set a meeting point if you arrive with a larger group.

If you want an event that blends nostalgic melodies with a modern pop approach, this festival is a reliable pick for a complete night of entertainment. The concept works especially well in large arenas, where mass sing-alongs and a strong stage look amplify the energy, while open-air editions add a distinct “summer” vibe. It pairs nicely with a short getaway or weekend trip, with dinner in town before the show. Take the chance to feel the pulse of live Schlager culture and round out the experience with on-site extras.
