Rita Ora inspires 5,000 fans at the summer concert in Hafencity!

On June 21, 2025, Hamburg's Hafencity was the perfect venue for an unforgettable concert by Rita Ora. Around 5,000 enthusiastic fans gathered on the waterfront of the new Westfield Hamburg-Überseequartier to experience the British pop icon live. On this longest day of the year, the artist didn't miss the opportunity to perform her best-known hits for the audience, including “Your Song” and “Let You Love Me”.

“What a highlight of the opening week of the Westfield Hamburg-Überseequartier! Rita Ora, who was originally booked for a performance in April 2024, was unable to perform due to delays in the opening and waited until the grand opening on April 8, 2025. The opening week itself attracted a colorful program of music acts and performances.

An unforgettable performance

The concert was a celebration of emotions, especially when Rita Ora performed the song “For You” - a tribute to her late colleague Liam Payne, who died on October 16, 2024 at the age of 31. This performance not only received a lot of applause, but also touched the hearts of the fans. With six talented dancers at her side, the singer put on a rousing show that the people of Hamburg will not soon forget.

The anticipation for the event was huge, after all the tickets were not available for purchase but were given away through raffles and social media campaigns. The DJs Shari Who and David Puentez also created a great atmosphere and really heated up the audience.
