Summer in the City Mainz 2027: Matthias Reim

Matthias Reim headlines Summer in the City at Mainz's Zitadelle on Friday 11 June, with doors from 6:45pm and tickets starting at €59.90. The Zitadelle is a preserved 17th-century fortress complex built into the city's 2,000 years of history, layering Roman theatre remains beneath a later Lutheran church, and it regularly hosts open-air concerts through the summer season. Reim has been a fixture of German Schlager and pop-rock since his 1990 breakthrough single 'Verdammt, ich lieb' dich', and remains one of the genre's most consistent touring names three decades on. The Summer in the City series, run by promoter mainzplus, brings similarly scaled acts to the venue across the warmer months. Expect a set built from his long-running catalogue of German-language hits rather than new material exclusively.
