50 Jahre Bardentreffen auf Bayern 2

50 years of Bardentreffen represent half a century of live music, lived culture, legends, and discoveries – as well as 50 years of partnership with Bayerischer Rundfunk. Bayern 2 is broadcasting live from the Katharinenruine to mark the anniversary. The live program looks back on moving moments, defining performances, and the festival’s development into an international meeting place for world music and singer-songwriters. Contemporary witnesses, musicians, and organizers share stories of encounters, musical discoveries, and the unique atmosphere that has defined Bardentreffen for decades.

Alongside memories and musical highlights, Bayern 2 also looks to the future: How can a long-established festival remain relevant? What role does live music play today? What kind of support can public institutions provide?

The live music this evening comes from singer-songwriter Stoppok, who has often thrilled Bardentreffen audiences together with Stoppok and Artgenossen. This time, he performs alongside the female duo Joco. A tribute to the power of music – uniting, boundless, and alive.
