Ronan Keating — the Irish Crooner

Ronan Keating, born in 1977, became known in 1993 as a member of Boyzone. With hits like "When You Say Nothing At All", "Life Is A Rollercoaster", "If Tomorrow Never Comes", and "This I Promise You", he has established himself as one of the most popular singers in Great Britain and Ireland over the past 30 years. His style — warm tenor, mainstream-friendly pop with folk accents — reaches a broad audience across generations.

Kamrad — the German Special Guest

Kamrad is one of the most successful recent German pop artists. His hits "I Believe", "Easy", and "Future Friends" have dominated German and European charts in recent years. His style: modern pop with strong hooks, perfect for a stadium and open-air setting.

WM-Sommer auf Ewald — the Context

The concert is part of the "WM-Sommer auf Ewald" (World Cup Summer on Ewald) — a series of concerts and public viewings on the grounds during the 2026 FIFA World Cup (June/July in the USA, Canada, Mexico). During the World Cup, games will be broadcast on a large screen, with concerts taking place in between. An attractive combination of sports enjoyment and live music.

Zeche Ewald — Industrial Heritage in the Ruhr Area

Zeche Ewald was in operation from 1872 to 2000 — one of the most important hard coal mines in the Vest Recklinghausen region. After its closure, the site was carefully repurposed: office buildings, restaurants, event spaces, the RAG machinery park as a monument, and the Arena as an open-air stage. Today, Zeche Ewald is a vibrant cultural center — a symbol of successful structural change.

Herten in the Vest Recklinghausen

Herten is a medium-sized town with around 60,000 inhabitants in the Vest Recklinghausen region. The city is part of the Ruhr area, located between Recklinghausen and Gelsenkirchen. Its connection to the A2, A43, and A52 motorways makes it easily accessible from the entire Ruhr area.
