A rush to the Olympicberg: an open experience for everyone

In the past few weeks, the Bavarian capital of Munich has experienced an impressive accumulation of international stars. After Taylor Swift moved to the Munich Olympic Stadium at the end of July, the next big music event is now at the door: The Britpop band Coldplay will appear on August 15th and 18th with its sold-out concerts in the city. But not all fans can afford a ticket, so the adjacent Olympicberg becomes a attraction again.

a review of past events

The concerts of Taylor Swift, who attracted 74,000 fans per evening, also experienced a high number of visitors in the adjacent Olympic Park. Here up to 40,000 other spectators were able to enjoy the appearances from a safe distance. This open accessibility of the Olympic Mountain enables the fans to be part of the event even without a ticket and to experience the atmosphere from a distance.

The regulations on the Olympiaberg

The Olympiapark München GmbH has confirmed that the Olympiaberg will also be freely accessible for the Coldplay concerts. Despite the large crowd, the city did not plan any special measures to regulate access or to provide infrastructure such as toilets. Instead, the responsibility of each individual visitor is to assess potential risks. The authorities point out that the mountain is not regarded as an event site, similar to the appearances by Taylor Swift.

from Taylor Swift to Coldplay: A remarkable trend

The repeated popularity of the Olympic mountain during this major event shows a clear tendency to use public spaces for concerts, even without tickets. The open and inclusive nature of these events supports a broader fan base and offers the opportunity to experience large music events, even if you don't have a ticket. This dynamic could even lead to the fact that those responsible think about the possibilities to improve the visitor incructure in order to make the experience more secure and more pleasant for everyone.

outlook for the upcoming show

It is unclear whether the crowds at the Coldplay concert will exceed the human current of the Taylor Swift fans. But it can be said with certainty that the band around front man Chris Martin will move many enthusiastic supporters who love their hits such as "Viva La Vida", "Fix You" and "A Sky Full of Stars". And so the Olympicberg could again be the center for an unforgettable experience for music lovers of all kinds.
