Kaisermania Returns to Dresden as Tickets Sell Out and Organisers Drop MDR Broadcast

Organiser choices on TV coverage, redirected bridge access and new 2027 arena dates could change how fans and the city take part in the event

Overview

  • The four Kaisermania open‑air concerts at Dresden’s Filmnächte am Elbufer have sold out rapidly with roughly 12,000 attendees per night and organisers reporting nearly 50,000 tickets gone within an hour.
  • Roland Kaiser opened the series with a praised show on Friday that ran about 155 minutes and included roughly 32 songs, drawing enthusiastic crowds on the Elbwiesen and inside the venue.
  • Kaiser and promoter Semmel Concerts jointly decided there will be no live MDR television transmission for 2026, citing repeated criticism of past broadcast sound quality.
  • A petition on openPetition led by Steve Bischoff protests the end of the TV broadcast as excluding older, ill or financially limited fans, and organisers advise attendees to use public transport because Carolabrücke collapse effects require redirecting entry toward the Augustusbrücke.
  • High demand has prompted the announcement of additional 'Unser Moment Arena Tour 2027' dates in Hannover, Oberhausen and Munich with ticket sales scheduled on Eventim in early August 2026.
