The public viewing in our Fan Zone Schlossplatz will be particularly emotional next Sunday. And this time well before the kick-off of the live broadcast between Germany and Switzerland.

Urgent information on road traffic on June 23, 2024
The preliminary round of UEFA EURO 2024 is heading for the home straight next Sunday. 51,000 visitors are expected in the sold-out Stuttgart Arena. Many people will be out and about in the city center again. The Fan Zone Schlossplatz is also likely to be completely full, as 30,000 fans will watch the DFB team's parallel match against Switzerland at the public viewing. To avoid queues, it is advisable to arrive in good time. Kick-off for both games is at 9 p.m.
The traffic regulations for Sunday will be based on the concept that proved successful at the first two UEFA EURO matches in Stuttgart. Mercedesstraße will once again be fully closed from 8 a.m. After that, it will no longer be possible to drive to and from Bad Cannstatt via Mercedesstraße, Benzstraße, Daimlerstraße and Alte Untertürkheimer Straße. This will affect all traffic on the main roads to and from Bad Cannstatt. The city will have detour signposted. However, it is advisable to drive well clear of the NeckarPark area.
Due to the large number of fans walking around the city, many of them want to reach the arena on foot, closures are also planned in the city center and neighboring districts – even if later than for the Germany match last Wednesday due to the late kick-off times.
This time, the B14 / Cannstatter Straße will again be closed in both directions, Wolframstraße in the direction of the B14, Uferstraße in the direction of the city center, Neckartalstraße in the direction of the city center and König-Karls-Brücke in the direction of Bad Cannstatt from 4 p.m. onwards.
The B27 / Friedrichstraße and the B27 / Theodor-Heuss-Straße will also be closed in both directions from 4 p.m. for the transfer of fans. Further closures are possible spontaneously as required. The City of Stuttgart therefore strongly recommends avoiding car journeys in the city center and in the Bad Cannstatt/NeckarPark area on Sunday and using buses, trains and bicycles instead.
Preview of the first match-free day on June 27, 2024
All four Fan Zones of the Host City Stuttgart will also be filled with an attractive program on the non-match days for you. A special highlight: the top-class concerts in the Fan Zone Schlossplatz. At 7 p.m., the Black Forest singer and songwriter Madeline Juno will come on stage, a musician who tells stories and emotions in a way that makes it easy for people to immerse themselves in them. Regardless of whether she is playing pop and loud songs with her full live band or acoustic versions with just her ukulele, this artist always captivates her audience.
Her Berlin colleague Philipp Dittberner, who conquered the charts with the hit "Wolke 4" and went on tour with his new album "Alles ist ein Augenblick" in May 2024, will take over the mic. Dittberner gets to the heart of barely tangible feelings in his songwriting, creating encounters for his fans in their everyday lives.
This summer evening will conclude with singer and songwriter Joris, who landed a platinum mega hit with his song "Herz über Kopf" and captivated viewers on "Sing meinen Song - Das Tauschkonzert" (VOX).
