Charity Gala Benefiting Aidshilfe Köln — Tickets On Sale Now

The charity gala in support of Aidshilfe Köln is entering its third edition. The event is scheduled for Monday, November 30, 2026, at the Musical Dome in Cologne. Pre-sales begin this Monday.
According to the organizers, this year’s lineup is set. The stage will feature Ute Lemper, Thomas Anders, Cat Ballou, and William Wahl, among others. Special guest Mary Roos is announced. The evening will be hosted once again by Erika Laste.
The gala supports Aidshilfe Köln. In recent years, the organization has reported that more than €250,000 has been raised to fund counseling, prevention, and assistance services. Given potential cuts in social programs, the event is growing in importance, say the organizers.
Tickets start at €73 (roughly $80) and are available on thegala.de.
