Mike Litt in conversation with Michael Brill

How's it going, Düsseldorf?

Our podcast "Alle Rhein" is our platform for everyone who makes sure that you are almost constantly surrounded by culture in Düsseldorf - whether on a small or large scale. Our host Mike Litt talks to his guests about the most exciting projects and finds out what artists, event organizers and other creative people love about their city and where they like to be in their private lives.
In episode 33, Mike talks to Michael Brill, the master of halls and events.

From concerts by Rammstein and Die Toten Hosen this year to the EMAs (the European music awards from music channel MTV) in the fall of 2022 ... the highlights of Düsseldorf's cultural and sporting events will be presented by Michael Brill, Managing Director of D.Live.

With his team of around 100 permanent employees, Michael Brill develops the most ambitious ideas and puts them on the track. What are the challenges of this job, especially after the coronavirus lockdown? Why is Düsseldorf so popular with top-class artists? How does Michael Brill himself experience these top events and recharge his batteries in the Rhine metropolis in between? He answers all these questions for our host Mike Litt in the new podcast episode of "Alle Rhein!"
