Linkin Park comes to Hanover: Parking becomes a challenge!

Linkin Park comes to Hanover: Parking becomes a challenge!

Hannover, Deutschland - On June 16, 2025, the famous Band Linkin Park caused a lot of hustle and bustle in Hanover. With a hoped-for tour of around 43,000 fans, the Heinz-von-Heiden-Arena becomes the scene of an unforgettable concert, which begins at 8:00 p.m. After the band had taken a creative break for years after the loss of their front singer Chester Bennington, she is now returning with new singer Enily Armstrong and fresh material. Ticket sales start on November 22, 2024 at 10 a.m. The British Metalcore band Architects will create a mood as the opening act. T-online reports on the anticipation and the necessary preparations.

But while the music sneaks into the hearts of the visitors, there is a challenge that presents itself in the form of lack of parking. The city of Hanover has taken care of the shooting festival due to the construction work and is planning to set up a large bicycle parking lot in Lodemannweg, directly at the arena. This measure aims to promote an environmentally friendly journey not only for the Linkin Park concert, but also for future events such as the appearances of 50 cents, Mary J. Blige, Robbie Williams and the Scorpions.

public transport in focus

Visitors who want to have it comfortably and stress -free should fall back on public transport. The city, the police and the organizers urgently call for this. The ticket for the concert is considered a ticket in the entire large area of ​​Hanover (GVH) - and from three hours before admission until the end of the day. This is an excellent way to avoid any traffic chaos. The use of light rail lines 3, 7 and 9 and the bus lines 100 and 200 is expressly recommended. Both options lead the concert goers directly to the “Waterloo”, “Stadion Bridge” or “Robert-Enke-Straße”.

To inform visitors in advance, a travel sketch is available to the Heinz-von-Heiden-Arena. The police have already announced that several streets will be blocked around the stadium, which will not make drivers easier. The Arthurian quantities, the stadium bridge and Robert-Enke-Straße are just a few of the affected traffic arteries. A special recommendation also comes for all drivers: the use of the Park-& Ride places at the city limits. To make the search for a parking space easier, there is the free navigation app "Nunav", which helps to find free parking spaces.

sustainable journey for major events

Sustainability plays an increasingly important role in large events. A recently published study illustrates the importance of environmentally conscious journey, especially for major events. As part of a project with the band AnnenMayKantereiT, data from almost 5,000 fans were recorded in order to analyze the arrival behavior. The results show that informed visitors caused 19 % less arrival emissions and more often decided to use public transport. It is a step in the right direction to minimize CO2 emissions at major events, as the new bicycle parking lot system in Hanover shows.
