For more than half a century it has been a magnet for rock and pop greats, from ABBA to ZZ Top, legendary jazz idols such as Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald, opera singers such as Placido Domingo, and has been the showcase for world stars such as Sammy Davis Jr, Josephine Baker, Shirley Bassey, Diana Ross, Tom Jones, Paul Anka, Johnny Cash, Joan Baez, David Bowie, Liza Minelli, B.B. King, Al Jarreau, and Tina Turner. The inventor of the Twist dance style, Chubby Checker, also performed there, as did calypso king Harry Belafonte, rock and roll pioneer Bill Haley and rock super-bands like the Beatles, Rolling Stones, The Beach Boys, The Who, Genesis, and Santana. Chansonniers such as Charles Aznavour, Gilbert Becaud, Reinhardt Mey, but also current pop and comedy stars.

The “Essen Song Days Festival” that took place in the Grugahalle in September 1968 is considered the birth of the rock and pop festival. The hall later became famous outside Germany for another music festival, the Rockpalast (1977 to 1986). Entertainers such as Udo Jürgens, Howard Carpendale, Joe Cocker, Elton John, Herbert Grönemeyer and Eros Ramazotti became eternal favourites of the audience. The list goes on and on. It was also an international sports venue for tennis, gymnastics, handball, football and functioned as a circus ring and ice rink. It was included in the exhibition activities of MESSE ESSEN and was and is a meeting place for economy, politics and religion as well as for hobbies and leisure. A hall for all, as it was stated in the opening speech.
