It’s a bit too early for a weather forecast. But not too early for a “headwind” warning for the 42nd Bardentreffen, Germany’s most popular world music festival, guaranteeing hot – and stormy rhythms. For international top bands will present music of a slightly different and whacky kind.

Bardentreffen continues to offer a closer look at artists performing at the festival. Off the beaten track and during a 30 minute talk lead by music journalists, you might get to know some more details about their art, compositions, lyrics or their way of life. Artist talks will take place at Burgtheater and Internationales Haus and will be held in German or English. See Line-Up for more details.
