After the last song, the evening continues on the campus.
Lorenz Schmid, managing partner, MUNICH ARENA, said, "For us, everything begins with the music. We have been developing MUNICH ARENA for the best possible live entertainment experience from the very first sketch, and every decision is measured against one question: what does world-class live entertainment need? A hotel on the campus is part of that answer. After the last song, the evening continues on site. Fans, artists and crews stay where the music happens. We are delighted that Tempo by Hilton is coming to the MUNICH ARENA campus, and we look forward to the moment the first concert begins."
