Many thanks to all visitors and musicians! Your commitment, energy, and enthusiasm made this festival an unforgettable experience. The communal atmosphere and magical soundscape were only possible thanks to you. We are already looking forward to the 50th anniversary next year!

Our Bardentreffen fan shirt is back! This year in a new design!

The T-shirt is now available for purchase. It is made of 100% organic cotton and was produced under fair production conditions. With your purchase, you not only acquire a great piece of clothing, but also help to ensure that the Bardentreffen can take place with free admission in the future.

Good news for all those who were unable to experience the Bardentreffen live or would like to relive the festival weekend. Thanks to Bayerischer Rundfunk, a long-standing media partner, the highlights are available to listen to and watch again.

The Bardentreffen CD sampler is back again this year. The Folk Galore magazine from CPL-Musicgroup has selected 18 artists and put them together in an atmospheric compilation. You can purchase the sampler at the information booths during the concerts or order it conveniently online now. If you are interested in further recordings of the musicians performing, these are usually available directly after the concerts on the stages or at the information booth on the main market throughout the weekend.

You can now view all concert dates and supporting events on the program page, including brief introductions to the artists. For even more background information, the detailed program booklet is available at the advance booking offices, the information booths and in the online store.

With a donation of 10 euros or more, you make the future of the Bardentreffen and Klassik Open Air possible.

Our thank you: Extraordinary moments and unique PINS, available at the information stands on site or online.
