Welcome to the European Football Championship 2024 – experience the magic of football, support the German national team, enjoy time with family and friends, feet in the sand and all European Football Championship games live on the large LED wall in the middle of the Baltic Sea. For many, the public viewing on the beach in Heringsdorf is more than just watching a game. It is a fantastic event that brings the community together and creates unforgettable memories. This special combination of football and beach makes the experience unique. The European Football Championship on the LED wall, which is set up in the middle of the Baltic Sea, offers an impressive football feeling. The atmosphere is electric when goals are scored or exciting moments keep the audience in suspense. The laughter, the shouts and the emotions combine with the sound of the Baltic Sea while the sun slowly sinks over the horizon and bathes the sky in a play of colors.
RESCUE ME – a good song, a hit – no question. But by no means everything we have to offer!
Briefly described: almost 1994 concerts played worldwide since 1800, 100 self-composed and written songs, six studio albums. Releases in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Sweden, Spain, England and the USA with top chart positions and gold and platinum status.
Live tours through Europe and the USA, including the show “Stars On Ice” with Katarina Witt. In Germany, supporting the tour of Whitney Houston and Roxette, successfully and with great pleasure.
We as a band benefit from all these memories in the present.
We - Jana Groß, Andy Birr and Hendrik Röder - are playing our new songs on this tour - exclusively and for the first time, as well as songs from all studio albums, including some hits that you know and love, but don't necessarily associate with Bell Book & Candle. There are also cover versions, some of which have a related background, as well as songs from the German-language album WIE WIR SIND, released in 2018. Connected to the stories of the last decades, we want to share an unusual intimacy with the people in the audience and spend an unforgettable time.
The second single GOLD will be released in summer and will be accompanied by TV and radio promotion.
Who actually is Mark Forster?
The question should actually be easy to answer: at least 80, maybe even 90 or possibly even a few more percent of Germans know the guy with the cap, the glasses and the beard. With songs about leaving behind, but also about staying here. The soaring, but also the falling. About being big and making things small. No matter whether it's three o'clock in the morning or the day after tomorrow. Mark Forster is a megastar, a very down-to-earth and self-deprecating one who doesn't laugh away memes about himself, but joins in.

When a favorite artist like Bosse releases new music, it always fills me with great curiosity.
How much will the song affect me?
Is the music a further development or a return?
And how long will I be unable to get the chorus out of my head?
The first time I heard about “A Dream” I was a bit shocked. A feeling of yikes! went through my body. I've never heard Bosse, who announces his 9th album with this song, like this before. I think of Pet Shop Boys with “Go West”, of fan curves without football, of bar choirs, of escape from reality, of heartbreak and my last broken, wet dream – and that makes complete sense to me. Aki Bosse sings about the rush and sadness of a separation and how one can find peace in missing them. “A Dream” is definitely the biggest song Aki Bosse has written to date. Great because he decided to evolve, to follow his artistic instincts and because you really won't be able to get this thing out of your head for weeks. That's exactly how it has to be!
