Helene Fischer is going on a big 360-degree stadium tour – on June 13th it’s Berlin’s turn. But what’s the best way to get to the stadium through the hustle and bustle of the city, and what songs await you?
Arrival
It gets crowded around the Olympic Stadium, and after the show ends, tens of thousands start moving at the same time. Public transport is therefore by far the most relaxed option.
S-Bahn: The S3 and S9 stop at Olympiastadion station. From there it’s just a few minutes’ walk – via the Flatowallee exit about 200 meters to the south gate, via the Trakehner Allee exit about 250 meters to the east gate.
Subway: The U2 will take you to the Olympic Stadium. From there it is around 500 meters to the east gate and around 870 meters to the south gate.
bus: The M49 and 218 lines go to the Flatowallee stop, the 104 to the Neu-Westend subway station.
From most Berlin districts you should plan 30 to 60 minutes depending on your starting point. If you come from Brandenburg or the surrounding area, it’s better to allow for buffers for changes and full trains – and keep your fingers crossed that Deutsche Bahn stays on time.
By car
Possible, but not for the faint of heart. The parking spaces around the stadium are limited and mostly chargeable: Olympic Square (free, vehicles up to 2.8 tons), PO1 (20 euros), PO4 (25 euros, advance purchase possible via Ticketmaster), PO5 (accessible parking spaces subject to availability) and PO7 (20 euros). Parking tickets are available on site, subject to availability. Motorhomes and trailers are not permitted. If you come by car, it’s better to leave very early.
By bicycle
The show can also be easily reached by bike. The bike is a good choice, especially from Charlottenburg, Westend, Wilmersdorf or Spandau – and after the show you can often get out of the immediate area more quickly. However, the bikes are not allowed on site, so park them in the area and don’t forget a good lock.
Admission and schedule
Official admission begins at 5 p.m., after which a DJ program runs until the main performance. Helene Fischer is expected to take the stage around 7:30 p.m. and the show ends around 10:15 p.m.
The show takes place without a break – so get drinks and go to the toilet beforehand.
The set list
There is no official Berlin setlist yet. The most reliable indicator is the tour start in Dresden on June 10th – experience shows that little changes to a stadium setlist over the course of the tour. The following songs were on the program at the start:
- 1. Now or Never
- 2. Our day
- 3. That exact feeling
- 4. Aviator
- 5. Fire on the horizon
- 6. One hundred percent
- 7. In the middle of paradise
- 8. Hell tomorrow morning
- 9. From here to infinity
- 10. I always want to…feel this fever
- 11. Take a look
- 12. With no one else
- 13. Medley: Te Quiero / Marathon / Only with you / Vamos a Marte / Love is a dance / Viva La Vida / The carousel in my stomach / Errorless
- 14. Why? (new song)
- 15. Zero to 100
- 16. And tomorrow morning I’ll kiss you
- 17. Games
- 18. Intoxication
- 19. The two of us
- 20. Rainbow colors
- 21. We become one
- 22. Breathless through the night
- 23. By my side (new song)
- 24. Lightning
- 25. Heartquake

- 27. Tonight
- 28. Phenomenon
With “Why?” and “At My Side” there are two new songs in the set. As expected, “Tonight”, the official accompanying song for MagentaTV’s World Cup coverage, is also not missing.
What’s allowed in – and what’s not
Only bags up to a maximum of DIN A4 (around 21 × 29.7 cm) are permitted. Larger backpacks, handbags or suitcases remain outside – there is no luggage drop-off on site.
Prohibited items include glass bottles, cans and hard packaging, professional cameras, GoPros and tablets, selfie sticks, laser pointers, food and drinks brought with you, large power banks, folding chairs, umbrellas, large flags and flagpoles and all drugs including cannabis. Certified service animals are exempt.
Pay: Cashless
Catering is only paid cashless – by debit card, credit card or mobile payment. Cash alone is of no use.
Weather and clothing
Open air in June in Berlin means: often warm during the day, noticeably cooler in the stadium in the evening – and depending on the space, it can be drafty. A light jacket is worth it. Since umbrellas are not allowed, a rain poncho should be taken with you in case of uncertain weather conditions.
