To celebrate its fifth anniversary, the organizers of the European League of Football are offering their fans a very special highlight. DIE FANTASTISCHEN VIER will play a mini-concert during half-time at the Championship Game 2025 on September 7 in the MHP Arena in Stuttgart - and in a spectacular setting: The band will perform on a stage in the middle of the Cannstatter Kurve, in between the fans (Get your tickets NOW).

For the superstars of the German hip-hop scene, it will be an extraordinary guest appearance at the ELF final. In a career spanning over three decades, they have played to sold-out audiences all over Germany, Austria and Switzerland. But their roots are in Stuttgart. This is where the musicians feel at home and they associate emotional moments with the VfB stadium.

"I'm really looking forward to our city, our stadium and the special energy"

"I still remember my childhood in the Neckarstadion. Bratwurst in my hand, VfB scarf around my neck, with shining eyes on the concrete steps. Now to be a musician in the arena, performing on a stage in the middle of the Cannstatter Kurve, is somehow surreal and, as a Stuttgart homeboy and VfB fan, of course a highlight. I'm really looking forward to our city, our stadium and the special energy", says Michi Beck on behalf of DIE FANTASTISCHEN VIER (Get your tickets NOW).

"Five years of the European League of Football - that's a milestone that we want to celebrate together with our fans. With the FANTASTISCHEN VIER as the protagonists of the half-time show, we are bringing one of the greatest figureheads of German music history to an iconic stage in the middle of the Cannstatter Kurve in VfB Stuttgart's living room. This performance will be a goosebump moment and guarantees great entertainment", says Zeljko Karajica, Managing Director of the European League of Football. 

The protagonists of the half-time show have already been confirmed: DIE FANTASTISCHEN VIER. However, it remains to be seen which two teams will qualify for the Championship Game 2025 on September 7 in the MHP Arena. 16 franchises from nine nations kicked off the fifth season of the European League of Football in mid-May - all with the big goal of competing for the ELF title in Stuttgart.
