It seems like the T-shirt and poster is using the "Nordstern Mine" structures as design. Also, nearby just 6 km i.e. 4 miles away is the UNESCO listed cole mine structure Zollverein Coal Mine Industrial Complex. Both worth a visit if you are in the area.

To me the metal structure looks more like Zeche Zollverein

No - it's definitely Zeche Zollverein - [iorr.org] .

I wonder what the poster will look like. Maybe something with mining?

Yep - you were right:



Official Gelsenkirchen T-Shirt & Poster - [TheRollingStonesShop.co.uk] .

poor idea and very poor design… They just attatched to tonuge logo to a building, but didn't even bother to intergrate it

Thanks for the reminder of the €9 rail pass BV.

Tomorrow I fly from Ireland and land into Düsseldorf, I have a night there. Then morning of gig I head to Essen as I've my accommodation booked there. Can't wait.

I like the design. Red, blue - strong colors. Clean and simple. I am
So glad it is not Schalke related. Mining is the true core of this area.

So can you, or can you not bring a small compact camera?

Where is the stage? Nordkurve or Südkurve?

We wanna (have to do) go back straight after the concert very early from Hauptbahnhof Gelsenkirchen. Any recodommations where to have some (safe) drinks near the Hauptbahnhof after midnight ? Tx

All Eventim posters at the places I have been recently just say no "professional" equipment.

The translations are sometimes bad.

But had no problem so far.

Those infos are not welcome here. It is private.

All the shows on the SIXTY tour have the same rules, see below.

Regarding cameras, it is clearly saying:

No professional cameras or cameras with detachable lenses

Some times I meet a "local hero" at security points questioning my tiny little pocket camera. It is certainly NOT professional, and the lense is integrated. Then it would have nice to have a printout of the below image. I use to ask them to check with the other security people around, then the local hero understand and let me through.

Thanks, I'll bring this.

Professionelles Audio- & Videoequipment

Mining is the true core of this area.

Yep - 8 former collieries in the radius of less than 8 km (5 miles) around the Veltins-Arena - [iorr.org] .

Nice view from Schurenbachhalde. There more in this region - some of them with art on the top.

That's a landmark on top of the Schurenbachhalde, not art - [de.Wikipedia.org] . Schurenbachhalde is located in Altenessen, 5.8 km (3.6 miles) away from the Veltins-Arena.

I was at this one too - cant wait!

Hi there, folks,

I'll be in Gelsenkirchen on Wednesday and plan to stream the show.

I have tickets for Block N5, Veltins Norkurve, Row 11, Seats 5 & 6 - which is opposite the stage. I hope we will get a decent sound there (should be) and an unobstructed view. And I hope for a decent connection way up there. (Better than in the pit or the field, I guess).

The stream hopefully starts with the intro and runs until the battery fails. In case this happens, we would then switch to a second mobile.

The stream will be posted at my Facebook profile.

I have this profile for quite some years, but never really cared very much about it. But for Wednesday that should do the trick!

So let's wish us luck, solid connections and a hammer show!

Long live The Rolling Stones!!

Yes: Happy Birthday, Mick !!
Unfortunately I am not in Düsseldorf right now to cheer you up with an Altbeer..

Happy Birthday Mick!!

I am looking forward for the first guest duet on this tour tomorrow with an Italian/English performance of "as tears go by"
Now I got it why zucchero is support act at the Gelsenkirchen Show, I think he will be guest at Mick's birthday today again as he was in 2020. iorr post Zucchero singing with Mick at his birthday party and German TV interview with Zucchero supporting the stones and singing with Micks at his birthday party
Happy Birthday, Mick!

Is it again Simon Marchner from Munich?

Yeah, that's how the fine print on the poster reads. The RS-lettering is also similar to Munich. But Simon Marchner hasn't published the Poster yet on his Website/FB/IG so there's no official confirmation until now.

He told me the Munich one is also from him and will be in his online shop from Monday on. He said he would have tried Berlin too but they did not respond in time and now there is just no time left.
