Overview

• Organizers rerouted both festival entrances to the Augustusbrücke side and fenced off Elbwiesen sections to serve as evacuation routes, allowing Friday’s opening concert to proceed smoothly.
• A ticket printing error earlier this week led to the invalidation of misprinted passes and the distribution of corrected tickets to all attendees.
• All four open-air concerts on July 25–26 and August 8–9 have been sold out for months, with around 50,000 fans expected to attend.
• Friday’s show marked the 21st Kaisermania since its 2003 debut and a second July performance begins tonight, followed by two August shows.
• The final concert on August 9 will be broadcast live on MDR, extending Kaisermania’s reach beyond Dresden’s Elbufer.
