Rock legends to perform at Yello Strom World Bowl XIV
April 24, 2006 - National Football League Europa (NFLE) News Release
TWO legendary music acts will headline at the climax of the NFL Europe League season as Europe's biggest football occasion launches the theme 'World Bowl Rocks Düsseldorf!'
MANFRED MANN'S EARTH BAND and STATUS QUO, two bands with a combined 80 years of charts success between them, will raise the roof at the LTU arena at Yello Strom World Bowl XIV on Saturday May 27.
Headlining a spectacular pre-game show will be Status Quo, who will perform their anthem 'Rockin' All Over The World', along with one of their recent hits, 'The Party Ain't Over Yet'. Status Quo front-men Francis Rossi and Rick Parfitt are celebrating their 40th anniversary together, and will be making their second World Bowl performance, having performed at World Bowl X in 2002, also in Düsseldorf.
"We have great memories of our show at World Bowl in 2002 at the Rheinstadion," said Parfitt. "We are excited about checking out the new arena."
Status Quo's performance will be followed by a breathtaking firework and laser show as the lights go out in the LTU arena.
Manfred Mann's Earth Band will become the latest name to join an impressive list of World Bowl halftime performers. The band, which has been scoring chart success since the 1960s, with songs like "Do Wah Diddy Diddy", and re-formed under their current name in the 1970s, will perform their hits "Mighty Quinn" and "For You".
SAMMY SCHMALE, general manager of Yello Strom World Bowl XIV host Rhein Fire, said: "We are looking forward to a great event on May 27. These bands are legends in the music business and will help to make it a memorable occasion. And we also have plenty more surprises up our sleeves, which will make this one of the most spectacular World Bowls ever."
