- As the tour's 150th edition, expect a particularly festive atmosphere and possible extra programme highlights.
- Pack weather appropriate clothing, since this is an open air event on the riverbank.
- Book tickets early and only through official sales channels such as oleparty.de, Eventim or Kölnticket.
