Grugahalle, Essen April 1979 concert poster
Original first printing concert poster advertising American singer Tina Turner (1939–2023) at the Grugahalle in Essen [Germany] on Thursday, 26th April, 1979, presented by Lippmann + Rau in cooperation with HPS Promotion. The Essen show was part of Turner’s Spring 1979 European tour in support of the Rough album. Produced by Bob Monaco, the album was released in September 1978 on the United Artists label. This was Turner’s third solo album, but her first after her 1976 split with husband Ike Turner. Her first two solo albums, Tina Turns The Country On (1974) and Acid Queen (1975) were recorded while she was still married to Ike Turner and also a member of the Ike & Tina Turner Revue. Rough would be the first album where there was no association with Ike Turner. The divorce proceedings between the Turners finally ended in 1978, the same year Rough was released, leaving Tina penniless — but with the legal right to still use her stage name Tina Turner.
The poster measures 60.2 x 84.2 cm (approx. 23.7″ by 33.1″ inches) and is beautifully printed on thin, coated paper stock. In excellent unfolded and unmarked condition. Feel free to email us with any questions you may have concerning this item. Additional images of the poster available on request.
