DJ BoBo´s Fantasy goes Halloween

Since 1997 Europa-Park and DJ BoBo have been working together successfully. Three years ago the Swiss superstar celebrated the completion of his astonishing “Vampires Alive” tour at Germany’s biggest theme park, which fascinated thousands of guests. “Fantasy” promises a breathtaking live show which includes beautiful costumes and many party songs.

The construction of the stage is especially impressive. The centre of the stage is a six-arm giant statue with heights compared to that of a multi-storey house. The lovely colour shades make the stage shine and offer the spectators very unique light and special effects.

DJ BoBo draws the audience in his spell and invites them to join in on his adventurous journey to the land of “Fantasy”. It can be rest assured that the performances of the dancers and musicians will entertain the audience to their full satisfaction. The perfectly staged combination of spirited dance as well as inspiring rhythms creates a spark which will be transferred onto the spectators.

Among the highlights of “DJ BoBo´s Fantasy goes Halloween” are a pompous drum firestorm by the “Surfdrummers” from Steffisburg/Thun in Switzerland and an exciting bow and arrow shooting scene performed by DJ BoBo.

DJ BoBo explains to his audience: “Fantasy” will be my most complex and detailed, but at the same time entertaining, stage performance. My aim is to show the guests that you can not only listen to music, but also see it.”

“DJ BoBo´s Fantasy goes Halloween” takes place on 29 and 30 October at 7 pm as well as during the SWR3 Halloween-Party on 31 October at 6 pm and 7.15 pm. From 1 until 7 November fans and spectators can enjoy DJ BoBo and his show performance at 6.30 pm. For visitors of Europa-Park, the spectacular 40-minute show is included in the regular admission price.
