Apache 207 has set a new attendance record at Cologne's Lanxess Arena. The 28-year-old rapper from Ludwigshafen played seven sold-out concerts there this year – five in January and two extra shows, the last on October 6. In total, around 130,000 people attended, more than ever before on a single tour at the venue.
The previous record was held by Helene Fischer, who also played seven nights in Cologne in 2023 and drew around 105,000 fans – meaning Apache 207 attracted about 25,000 more. A stage in the middle of the arena, allowing seats on all sides, made the difference. The show featured a large aeroplane inside the arena and ran for over two hours with 25 songs, including 'Roller'.
'Seven concerts on one tour with around 130,000 guests in total are a special milestone,' arena managing director Stefan Löcher said, according to news on tour.
