On September 18th the Beatsteaks are playing a benefit concert in the Schlachthof in Dresden. The band will be donating all proceeds from the concert to the local aid organizations “Dresden für alle” and “Dresdner Flüchtlingsrat”. CTS EVENTIM selling fees for the concert will be donated to the charity organization “Aktion Deutschland hilft”. These associations are focused, among other causes, on providing active refugee aid in the form of shelter, advice and medical service.
“Many of the artists we are selling tickets for were not born in Germany – some of them are children of former refugees. Without them our cultural landscape would not be as manyfaceted and diverse as it is today. We have been collaborating well with the Beatsteaks for years. When the idea of the charity show first came up we didn’t have to think about it for long. It was clear from the outset that we wanted to support the band in this,” says EVENTIM Vice President E-Commerce Malte Blumenthal.
