ExtraSchicht im Nordsternpark Gelsenkirchen

In the organizer's words:

Industrial culture, music and spectacular shows

Between the tower, park and amphitheater, Nordsternpark becomes a sparkling stage of light, sound and history. From the panoramic terrace, the view sweeps over the Ruhr region, while exhibitions and guided tours bring the transformation of the region to life.

Live music accompanies visitors through the grounds, while light installations emphasize the industrial charm and constantly open up new perspectives. This creates an atmospheric world of experience between past and present.
When it gets darker, a spectacular laser and pyrotechnic show transforms the amphitheater into a shining sea of lights.
