MC Fitti at the first "Rock am Kopp"
Berlin rapper opens concert series
Saturday 31 May is the day. Rapper MC Fitti will open the "Rock am Kopp" concert series, which is part of the "Die Stadt bin ich" communication campaign. The one-hour performance starts at 6.30 pm. Admission is free.
The well-known Chemnitz club Atomino has been secured as the organiser: "We want to make our contribution to making the city even more lively. The concert promises to be a cheerful summer affair. The time is also ideal for exploring Chemnitz's club scene afterwards," says Jan Kummer from Atomino, who came up with the idea for the artist through a funny association. "With his beard, MC Fitti bears a certain resemblance to Karl Marx." MC Fitti scored a real summer hit two years ago with his hit "30 Grad". In 2013, MC Fitti took part in the Bundesvision Song Contest for Berlin and came third with his song "Fitti mitm Bart".
"A concert in front of the Karl Marx Head is a unique experience. There is nothing comparable in Germany. We are therefore delighted to be presenting "Rock am Kopp" together with the organiser and supporters as a further component of the "The city is me" communication campaign," said Lord Mayor Barbara Ludwig.
Because a concert like this cannot take place without support, the Chemnitz-based family business Getränke Pfeifer has pledged its help: "We want to get involved with the city and further develop Chemnitz as a location. That's why we were the first to pledge our support. With the last family brewery in Chemnitz, the Reichenbrand brewery, another municipal company is participating. This is in line with the city's communication campaign," explains Marcus Hessel, Head of Marketing at Getränke Pfeifer.
The Chemnitz advertising agency Zebra, which designed the "The city is me" communication concept, is also proud of this level of commitment. "It is a signal that Chemnitz can be a lively, younger city. The concert appeals to young people in particular, but I also recommend the older generation to stop by," says Ralf Sippel, one of the managing directors of the Zebra Group.
