Championship Game 2025 in Stuttgart: Hip-hop superstars DIE FANTASTISCHEN VIER deliver spectacular half-time show
The European League of Football is bringing the superstars of the German hip-hop scene to Stuttgart! DIE FANTASTISCHEN VIER will deliver a spectacular half-time show in the MHP Arena as part of the Championship Game 2025 on 7 September. The stage for the mini-concert will be set up in the centre of the Cannstatter Kurve, this means: in between the fans.
"From a sporting point of view, the final is the absolute highlight of European football anyway. The two best teams in the continent's best league determine the champion. However, our aim is to offer not only top-class sport, but also top entertainment. The ELF and DIE FANTASTISCHEN VIER will provide a half-time show that has never been seen before at a sporting event in Europe", says Zeljko Karajica, Managing Director of the European League of Football.
First ever ELF half-time show
DIE FANTASTISCHEN VIER are among the most influential bands in the history of German music and are regarded as pioneers of German-language hip-hop. Since their formation in 1989, they have significantly shaped the genre and revolutionised the German music landscape with countless hits. With their mixture of intelligent lyricism, social sensitivity and musical diversity, they have inspired generations of fans and laid the foundations for countless artists after them.
In a career spanning over three decades, DIE FANTASTISCHEN VIER have received numerous gold and platinum awards, released several number one albums and played sold-out tours in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Their cult status is unbroken - they are not only musical trailblazers, but also an integral part of pop culture.
Homecoming for DIE FANTASTISCHEN VIER
For DIE FANTASTISCHEN VIER, the performance in the MHP Arena in Stuttgart is a home game in the truest sense of the word.
