2012 DTM season launch with a top class show programme
DTM
For the third time already, the most popular international touring car series has its official start into the season in Wiesbaden. In the previous two years, the event with its colourful and varied programme enthused some 230,000 people. From 13.00 till 18.00 h, the show programme provides excellent entertainment for the spectators in front of the main stage and along the track: driving demonstrations, pit stops, stunt shows, raffles, photo shoots with the DTM grid girls and many more. Among the musical top acts are concerts by Stefanie Heinzmann and Stereolove.
“SSDSDSSWEMUGABRTLAD” - this strange acronym stands at the very beginning of Stefanie Heinzmann’s career. In 2008, she won the casting competition hosted by Stefan Raab that was named like this. The first single of the currently 24-year old, “My Man is e mean Man” from the “Masterplan” album made it into third place of the German charts already and was rewarded with a golden record. Numerous accolades followed, including the coveted “Echo”, and she released her second studio album in 2009. The success was troubled by serious health problems, so that the Swiss lady had to take a lot of time to produce her third record “Stefanie Heinzmann” that was released in March. The result is an album with potential hit songs and that has already made it into the top 10 of the German album sales charts. Spectators can look forward to a fascinating live concert and the new single “Diggin’ in the Dirt”.
As a band, Stereolove are relative new in the music sector, but the band members are musicians who have had a lot of success for many years already. The members of the band Reamonn joined forces with Thomas Hanreich, the former singer of Vivid. Together, they turned their experience and their skills into great songs. Their first single “This is it” is the 2012 DTM song. A second single and a debut album are to follow this autumn.
