Rock meets Classic

The success story began more than three decades ago. In 1992, producer Michael Hertlein launched the first ‘Rock Meets Classic’ tour, which visited 30 cities throughout Germany in 1993. After a brief interlude in 2002, the concert series became a permanent fixture in the annual event calendar from 2010 onwards, featuring major international rock stars performing unforgettable hits from music history accompanied by a band and their own symphony orchestra. 

Now, ‘Rock Meets Classic’ is touring the country's major venues for the very last time, with the final farewell at the Olympic Hall featuring Joey Tempest, lead singer of Europe, with his rock anthems ‘The Final Countdown’, ‘Carrie’ and ‘Rock The Night’. Also appearing will be Michael Schenker from the Scorpions, former Nightwish singer Tanja Turunen and Eric Martin, who will perform the most successful ballads from his band Mr. Big, such as ‘To Be With You’ and ‘Wild World’. Also in the line-up are Ronnie Atkins from Pretty Maids and Robert Hart, who will perform the hit songs of his Manfred Mann's Earth Band, ‘Mighty Quinn’ and ‘Davy's on the Road Again’ – before saying farewell forever at ‘Rock meets Classic’.
