Hannover Concerts is a concert agency from Hanover . The company is considered to be one of the largest concert organizers in northern Germany .
history
Hannover Concerts was founded in 1979 by Michael Lohmann and Wolfgang Besemer, who died in 2014. In the same year the agency's first concert took place in the Kuppelsaal in Hanover. In 1982 the agency brought the Rolling Stones to Hanover and thus prevailed against Hamburg . The concert by the English rock band was also the first open-air concert in the old Lower Saxony stadium .
In 1986 Lohmann and Besemer converted the Capitol from a cinema into a concert and party location. In 2001 the concept of an open-air stage, the Gilde Parkbühne , came into being. In 2005, the agency took over the stadium sports hall, today's Swiss Life Hall , where the company is also located. During the 2006 World Cup , the agency hosted the public viewing on Waterlooplatz .
