Rhein-Neckar-Halle
Rhein-Neckar-Halle is an 8,000-capacity indoor arena located in Eppelheim, Germany. Built and opened in 1970[1], it hosted many big music industry stars throughout the 1970s to the 1990s, including Frank Zappa, Tina Turner, Bob Marley and the Wailers, ZZ Top, Metallica, Genesis, Rush and AC/DC. It also served as a sports events for the Humboldt-Realschule High School.[1]
In 2012, new fire safety regulations were enacted upon the arena, and it closed its door for live concerts, being designated for school sports only.[2] As of today, the venue has been superseded as the main indoor arena in the region by other venues such as the Maimarkt-Halle and the SAP-Arena in nearby Mannheim. It will also get a new competitor in a new, under-construction arena in Heidelberg which is due to be completed in spring 2020.[3]
