Prime Day celebrations started in Europe with free and exclusive music events for Prime customers, who applied for tickets via their local websites. Hundreds of European Prime members joined an evening of music and surprises.
In Germany, the Fantastischen Vier and Clueso were live at the Munich Muffathalle: With classic hits such as "Die Da", "Sie ist weg" and "MfG", they set the venue on fire. It was a successful gig for all Prime members who were lucky enough to get tickets. For fans who could not be there live, Smudo from Fantastischen Vier, had a special consolation: "On the occasion of the big day, we recorded a song that is available as a stream exclusively for Prime members on Amazon Music."
"We want to make Prime customers happy. Prime Day stands for good deals - this year, for the first time ever, customers also get the best live entertainment," said Ralf Kleber, Country Manager of Amazon Germany.
In addition to a raffle of many exciting new products, the guests had time to discover the best product highlights of the Prime partners.
