Info

U2 performed on the legendary Waldbühne (‘Forest Stage’), near the Olympic Stadium, during their Elevation Tour.
The Waldbühne was fitted into a natural canyon in 1934-36 and initially served as a theatre stage for the Nazis. During the Olympic Games 1936 and after the Second World War it was moreover used as a boxing arena, and only later also as a concert stage.

The Waldbühne was temporarily shut in 1965, after a concert by the Rolling Stones that ended in a mass brawl and partial destruction of stage and seating area. Regular concerts have only returned to the Waldbühne since 1978. It is held in high esteem by musicians and fans alike for its special atmosphere.
The best view of the Waldbühne is from the Glockenturm (bell tower) opposite.
