Samy Deluxe at the Musikmesse Festival

Frankfurt is a city of music – especially during the Musikmesse at the beginning of April. Contributing to this is the Musikmesse Festival, which not only lets the music continue at the Exhibition Centre after the fair closes for the day but also takes it into the city. With around 60 concerts and lots of extraordinary musical moments, the Festival is a source of delight for (more than just) Musikmesse visitors. The First act of the coming Musikmesse Festival will be Germany’s leading rapper, Samy Deluxe who will appear with his ‘SAMTV-UNPLUGGED’ show in the ‘Festhalle’ on 4 April.
