AIDA Cruises invites you to an exclusive concert at the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg on October 28, 2026: The charity concert "AIDA & Friends" combines top-class live acts with social commitment.
Three of Germany's most successful acts will take the stage at the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg: Mark Forster, LEA, and Revolverheld. Mark Forster is one of the most influential artists in the German pop scene and has thrilled millions with hits like "Chöre," "Au Revoir," "Wir sind groß," and "Flash mich." The lineup also includes LEA, one of the most successful German pop artists of her generation, and Revolverheld, who have been a major force in the German pop-rock scene for two decades. Visitors can expect an extraordinary concert experience in one of the world's most famous concert halls.
At the same time, AIDA is pursuing a clear goal with the event: The proceeds and any donations will be used to fund three new schools. For every ticket sold, €30 will go directly to new educational projects. “AIDA & Friends unites what is important to us: extraordinary experiences and social commitment. Together with our guests and artists, we are dedicated to improving educational opportunities for children,” says Felix Eichhorn, President of AIDA Cruises.
Since its founding in 2019, AIDA Cruise & Help has already funded 100 schools worldwide – with a particular focus on educational projects in the home countries of many crew members, as well as in regions visited by AIDA ships. The aim is to provide children with long-term prospects through education.
“Our concert is a thank you to our guests and partners. We thank our loyal fans and friends for their support on our 30-year journey and are hosting a concert that will be remembered for a long time and is the perfect finale to our celebrations,” explains Alexander Ewig, Senior Vice President of Marketing & Sales at AIDA Cruises.
The concert at the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg marks the culmination of the 30th anniversary celebrations. Attendees can look forward to musical highlights while simultaneously contributing to a better future for children in various regions of the world.
