FROM "Country Roads" to live goal music

Among them is Culcha Candela. With their hits like "Hamma!", "Monsta" and "Wildes Ding", the reggae and hip-hop band from Berlin have been one of the most successful German acts in the genre for years.

Also performing at "Coming Home" is the Hermes House Band from the Netherlands with their classic party anthem "Country Roads" as well as many other well-known, feel-good songs.

Another special moment can be expected when German band ATC (A Touch of Class) take to the stage with their worldwide hit "Around the World (La La La La La)  - the Werkself's goal music from the current season!

Peter Lorenz, Dirk Maverick and Einmalique

Leverkusen musicians like Peter Lorenz ("Bayer 04 - wir steh'n zu dir!"), Dirk Maverick ("Leverkusen"), Einmalique ("Meisterkusen") and Departement of Rock ("Wir sind Deutscher Meister") will also perform live at the BayArena. On top of that, DJ Mikel Bo will guide the stadium musically through the afternoon.

The Bayer 04 U19 team lost 1-0 to Inter Milan on the sixth and final matchday in the league phase of the UEFA Youth League 2024/25. The only goal of the game was scored just after the hour mark.
