The traditional “Horse & Symphony” concert is being granted a spectacular, new stage during the TSCHIO Aachen 2026: As a one-off occurrence and for the first time in its history, the acclaimed show is being held in the legendary Main Stadium – and thus promises an incomparable atmosphere. The result is going to be a classic concert of a magnitude that Aachen has never experienced before.

It will be an evening for the history books: The “Horse & Symphony” concert is taking place in the legendary Main Stadium for the very first time – an exceptional highlight that will lend the popular event a special stage next year. The setting could hardly be more impressive and the motto for the evening is equally fitting: James Bond – the epitome of suspense, sense and timeless fascination.

As soon as the first chords ring out at 8 p.m. on May 23^rd, 2026, the music of the most famous film series in the world will fill the Main Stadium, blending in with the majestic grace and powerful dynamism of the horses. Precisely in that moment the arena will be transformed into a musical extravaganza: The Aachen Symphony Orchestra will bring the melodies from the iconic 007 films to life in all their splendour, while impressive equestrian performances captivate the spectators. From dramatic Bond anthems to soulful ballads, a production will enfold that is unparalleled in its diversity and intensity. Music, glamour and adventure will merge into an open-air experience that promises pure goosebumps and which will make the magic of the moment tangible. “We are delighted to be able to present the concert at the TSCHIO in this unique setting,” said ALRV Board Member, Birgit Rosenberg, who is traditionally responsible for the show programme. “The audience can look forward to an evening full of excitement, emotions and surprising moments.”

It is also going to be a very special evening for Christopher Ward, the General Music Director of the City of Aachen. With his passion and keen sense for great musical moments, the British musical director has shaped the “Horse & Symphony” concert for many years. On the evening of May 23^rd, 2026, he will conduct the concert for the last time and will thrill the audience with a spectacular finale – a farewell that will not only make the hearts of Bond fans beat faster, but which will also celebrate the venerable tradition of this concert in a fitting manner.
