Next year, Germany's successful band will be celebrating the 30th anniversary of their cult album "Abenteuerland" at the VELTINS Arena in Gelsenkirchen. Due to high demand, tickets for the dress rehearsal are now also available.

With the triple platinum album "Abenteuerland", PUR achieved one of the greatest successes in the band's history in 1995. The formation around singer Hartmut Engler celebrates the 30th anniversary of the legendary longplayer with hits such as "Ich lieb' dich (Egal wie das klingt)", the title song and "Ein graues Haar" on September 6, 2025 with a new edition of "PUR and Friends auf Schalke" in the VELTINS-Arena in Gelsenkirchen.

So many PUR fans want to join in the celebrations at the big show in Schalke's soccer stadium that tickets are already running out - almost a year before the date. For this reason, the musicians have decided that there will be an encore in the VELTINS-Arena on September 5, 2025. "We are absolutely overwhelmed by the response to our 'Abenteuerland' anniversary show," says Hartmut Engler. "It's really incredible that there are already hardly any tickets left. That's why we want to open our dress rehearsal to the public the day before and extend the big party even further."

The exclusive O2 presale for the public dress rehearsal "PUR and Friends at Schalke 2025 - 30 Years of Adventureland" starts on Tuesday, October 15 at 10:00 am. This will be followed by the eventim presale from Thursday, October 17 at 10 am. The general presale starts on Friday, October 18, at 10 a.m. at all authorized advance booking offices and via the nationwide ticket hotline: 01806 - 57 00 00 (0.20 Euro/call from a German landline, max. 0.60 Euro/call from a German mobile network). Tickets will also be available from Friday, October 18 at tickets.schalke04.de.
