Fantastic concert of the Fanta 4: Kiel shakes in front of 13,000 fans!

On Sunday, June 16, 2025, Kiel became a musical hotspot when the legendary Fantastic Four organized an open-air concert on the Nordmarksportfeld. With over 13,000 fans who came together in bright sunshine, the Hanseatic city experienced a real festival of music. The Hamburg hip-hop pioneers, who have been rocking the Republic's stages for 40 years, let their fans immerse themselves in a memory trip and brought the crowd with hits like "The ones!?!" And "she is gone" to shake. Smudo, one of the front men, welcomed people with a warm "Moin - everything else is nibble", which immediately created a good atmosphere.

But the Fantastic Four were not the only stars that entered the stage this weekend. There was another highlight on Saturday evening before: the world star Sting attracted more than 20,000 visitors. He opened his concert with the timeless classic "Message in a Bottle" and released the audience in the night with a grateful "Thank you, Kiel" at night.

Both concerts took place as part of the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival (SMHMF), which will come up with over 203 events planned this year.

With a ticket offer, from 69 euros for standing room to 99 euros for seats, there is something for every wallet.

The Fantastic Vier and Sting are just two of many artists who can benefit from the unbroken interest of people in live music.

With a solid mix of well -known hits and modern sounds, these events contribute to the culture of the country and have the potential to inspire both locals and tourists alike. The north can be happy: The unforgettable experiences of these events contribute to the lively cultural scene of Schleswig-Holstein and set a further highlight in this year's event calendar.
