Festungssommer – Doro Pesch

Doro Pesch is a legend of German and international Heavy Metal. Since the early 1980s, the Düsseldorf native has shaped the scene – first as the frontwoman of the band Warlock, and later under her first name Doro as a solo artist. With albums like "Burning the Witches", "True at Heart", "Force Majeure", and her current "Conqueress – Forever Strong and Proud", she has earned the reputation of "Queen of Metal".

Hits from Four Decades

The setlist includes the great classics: "All We Are" (released in 1987 with Warlock and still an anthem of the Heavy Metal scene today), "Burning the Witches", "Für immer", "I Rule the Ruins", "East Meets West", as well as songs from her extensive solo repertoire. Doro's live shows combine the power metal core of her music with German stage aura and an impressive presence, making her one of the most outstanding female metal voices worldwide.

Festungssommer Finale

The concert on September 12, 2026 is one of the latest concerts of Festungssommer 2026, marking the hot closing chord of the season. The Ehrenbreitstein Fortress, a 19th-century Prussian structure, provides an almost ironically fitting backdrop for a metal show: massive walls, fortress architecture, historical atmosphere.

A Metal Pilgrimage Site for One Evening

Doro concerts have been known for years as a family reunion for the metal community. Fans from the entire Middle Rhine region, Westerwald, Hunsrück, and beyond national borders make a pilgrimage for such dates at the fortress. Her sound, her band selection, her stage performance, and her consistently fan-oriented attitude make every Doro concert an experience.

Arrival and Surroundings

Arrival by the Koblenz Cable Car from the Rhine bank with extended concert operating hours. Catering in the fortress courtyard, merchandising, and ample opportunity to view the fortress complex before the concert. Festungssommer 2026 bids farewell to late summer with this Doro concert.
