Dear Bardentreffen fans, dear (world-)music lovers,

as anxiously expected the German government prohibited all major events until August 31st.

We're really sad but complaining won't help. Making our world music festival happen this year would have been very difficult, even taking health aside. Touring has become challenging or even impossible for many of our invited international musicians (some of them from South Korea, Argentina, Cuba, USA, Cameroon, Great Britain, Spain, France, Finland or Italy).

So with a heavy heart it has been decided that the 45th edition of Bardentreffen Nuremberg can't take place during the planned time from July 31st to August 2nd.

Remain faithful to music and culture, and stay connected in times of distancing. We wish you all the best, good health und are looking forward to our reunion at the next Bardentreffen!
