The successful collaboration is being extended: the Olé Party and the VELTINS-Arena have extended their contract for a further four years until 2030. The agreement was signed during a joint press event at the royal blue stadium - with the support of Oleo, the mascot of the Mallorca party series.
Olé auf Schalke will be coming to Gelsenkirchen for the tenth time in 2026. The popular event celebrated its premiere in 2015 and, together with the Schlager Night, has already welcomed around 500,000 fans to the event series in the arena since then. "The enthusiasm for the Olé Party Tour is still huge. We want to build on this in the future - with the aim of reaching one million visitors," says Michael Hilgers, organizer of the Olé Party Tour and Managing Director of HockeyPark Betriebs GmbH & Co.
Guido Kabacher, Managing Director of Arena Management GmbH, is also looking forward to the continuation: "An extremely trusting relationship has developed over the past few years. Olé auf Schalke always brings numerous top acts and an absolute summer feeling to Gelsenkirchen. The great atmosphere and the satisfied fans always make the event something special."
Olé auf Schalke will once again be the final event of the party tour this year - traditionally in October. The exact date is yet to be announced. Tickets are already available at tickets.schalke04.de.
