Exciting shows & concerts

The 10,000 square meters Rothaus Hall/A1 offers unlimited possibilities. Combinable with the multipurpose West Foyer and Hall A2, which can be divided into three segments, Hall A1 offers a suitable framework for show events of all kinds. Thanks to the impressive timber roof construction with a ceiling height of 26 meters, audiences for concerts, TV productions and other events are led to expect a special atmosphere as soon as they set foot on the trade fair premises.

With its own entrance lobby, stand seating for over 2,0000, a rapid black-out facility, artists dressing rooms, countless production rooms and large entrance gates, Hall A1 is predestined for hosting all kinds of events smoothly and efficiently.

Concert organizers for big names such as Bryan Adams, P!NK, Anastacia and Herbert Grönemeier and for TV productions like “The Dome“, “Wetten, dass..?“ and “Verstehen Sie Spaß?” (the latter two akin to Britain’s “You bet!” and “Game for a laugh?”) are very enthusiastic about Messe Friedrichshafen.

Gerhard Hoffmann (Head of Production/SWR):
“To be able to put on a show like “Verstehen Sie Spaß?“, important prerequisites must first be met. It is imperative that the studio venue satisfies certain stress requirements, such as having sufficient ceiling and floor load capacities. Plus the location of the venue also has to be suitable from the logistics point of view, e.g. with parking areas for trailers and broadcasting vehicles. All this – and most importantly the teamwork with the personnel – is ideal with Messe Friedrichshafen. The reliable on-site crew and perfect management, paired with technical expertise, enable the SWR personnel to put on the show with ease and this naturally carries over to the studio audience, putting them at ease too.”
