The band Stone Cold Crazy is a cover band from Herzogenrath, which applied to Eins Live to perform at the Königstreffen. The broadcaster provided Stone Cold Crazy with tasks that they had to do. In addition, the listeners could vote on the Internet to decide whether the band could perform. Since all tasks were fulfilled and the audience was there for a performance, the band was allowed to take the stage as the opener.
2006
Due to the 2006 World Cup , there was no Eins Live Königstreffen this year . During this period there were so many open-air concerts that Eins Live decided to cancel the festival . For 2007 it was announced that the event would take place again as planned.
2007
Contrary to the announcement that the festival will take place again in 2007, no Eins Live Königstreffen was held.
