Bonn - the gaps are not to be overlooked was on the Museum Mile in recent months, hardly a concert that was really full.
As full as before, when crowded between the Federal Art Gallery and Museum of Fine Arts to the masses. But there is hope.
Organizer Jürgen Harder to EXPRESS: "There will be at the Soccer World Cup 2010 public viewing, then by all means, if the Germans play."
Then the cabin, each with 8000 spectators will be jam-packed. A rather rare achievement. No question: Kris Kristofferson, Brian Wilson and Joss Stone are excellent artists. But they are not a top rockers like Elton John, Santana and Bob Dylan, previously brought to rock the mile. And therefore only 1500 listeners to the ex-Beach Boy Wilson to come and just 800 to Kristofferson.
The Museum Square is suffering from tuberculosis. Where's coming? Previously sure the money was loose. The former concert manager Wilfried Gatzweiler times just put a few thousand euros on it at the usual fee, attract the super-Stars.Aber the audience had more to spend. Today must lie a pair for a concert by Crosby, Stills & Nash loose 160 euros - in times of Hartz IV and general financial crisis, no small matter.
Jürgen Harder of the Bonn-Music EXPRESS: "Today, the artists earn only about live performances. Accordingly, the salaries have gone up, and I need to spread the on admission. "
Another reason: As the EXPRESS learned a profound change in the music scene management has meant that many artists experience rather than in Cologne in Bonn. Jürgen Harder: "In the last few years has there been five concerts in Bonn Cologne organizers, this year not a single one."
