September 20, 2024,Tour an der Saar und Apollo Festival in Saarbrücken

There are still a lot of road closures in Saarbrücken and you can't get to the other side from Völklingen. Then to the Apollo Festival in Saarbrücken at the harbor. I stood in the crowd for over half an hour until finally, 15 minutes later, the show started. The show lasted about 15 minutes. I wasn't impressed.
