Amphitheater Open Air Trier - Katie Melua
Katie Melua in Trier's Roman Amphitheatre on July 18, 2026 - Greatest Hits and New Songs
About Katie Melua Amphitheater Trier
With Katie Melua, one of the most successful European singer-songwriters of the past two decades will perform at the Trier Amphitheatre on July 18, 2026. The artist, born in Georgia and raised in Great Britain, gained international fame in 2003 with the album "Call off the Search" and the global hit "Nine Million Bicycles". Subsequently, she established herself with fine pop, folk, and jazz arrangements as a voice that oscillates between intimacy and grand gesture.
The Trier concert has a special backstory: Katie Melua was already scheduled to play at the Amphitheatre in 2019, but the performance was cancelled due to weather after a storm warning. Seven years later, the artist returns with a programme of Greatest Hits and new songs.
The Trier Amphitheatre, built in the 2nd century AD and part of the UNESCO World Heritage since 1986, offers an extraordinary concert experience as an open-air stage. The oval arena and the rising tiers create an intimate yet monumental atmosphere that particularly suits Katie Melua's delicate voice.
The concert is part of the Amphitheater Open Air Trier 2026 series (July 17-26), which will use the ancient structure on the Petrisberg again after a three-year break. The promoter is Popp Concerts. Tickets are sold via the promoter's website (poppconcerts.de) and the usual distribution platforms.
