SHERIDAN, WYOMING – August 19, 2024 – The intersection of music and technology takes center stage as Deutsche Telekom announces that iconic German hip-hop group Die Fantastischen Vier will headline the Telekom Street Gig at Digital X 2024. The performance, set for September 19th in Cologne's Mediapark, will be one of the band's first concerts in 2024 and promises a mix of classic hits and new material from their upcoming album, "Long Player."

The Telekom Street Gig, a free event open to the public, is a highlight of Digital X, the world's largest digitalization trade fair. This year, the event promises an electrifying atmosphere as Die Fantastischen Vier take the stage, showcasing their legendary music alongside cutting-edge technology.
