Helene Fischer draws 40,000 fans to GelreDome in Arnhem

German schlager‑pop star Helene Fischer continued her biggest stadium tour to date with a concert at the GelreDome in Arnhem, Netherlands. The venue, which holds more than 40,000 people, was filled with Dutch fans who praised her energetic 360‑degree show that includes stunts, trapeze acts and a mix of schlager and pop beats. Fischer said, “I am touched by how loving and kind the Dutch are,” and noted that the audience “knows how to throw a party.”

The high demand for tickets was illustrated by a 21‑year‑old fan, Don Nijhuis, who missed a packed bus from Tubbergen and drove with his family from Denekamp to the arena. He told Radio Oost he had practiced dance moves and was ready for the “evening full of German hits, dance moves and spectacle.” The concert was described as a celebration of Fischer’s 20‑year career and a “diverse, emotional and wild” experience for both the artist and the crowd.
