The Big Maggas rock Gifhorn: Old Town Festival celebrates its big anniversary!
Things are going well again in Gifhorn! Today, August 17, 2025, the Old Town Festival is kicking off the celebrations with a highlight: the band Big Maggas will rock the stage. This Hamburg band, which was founded in 2007, is known for its rousing performances and friendly nature. Their first appearance was, how could it be otherwise, here in Gifhorn and made the audience's hearts beat faster.
The Big Maggas rely on a refreshing mix of different music styles and eras. The troupe, consisting of chief entertainer Roy “Rocket” Ostermann, bassist “Flotten Otto”, guitarist Go-Go-Günther, Dr. Bum Bum Boxleitner on drums and the very special entertainment robot Horst Elvis, always delight with their colorful alter egos. You can say they have the right knack for spreading good vibes.
Memories of the first appearance
The memories of the first performance in Gifhorn are still very vivid for the band. “The audience was just great,” says Roy. “The positive atmosphere captivated and carried us away!” Expectations for her performance today are also high. “Despite a little doubt, I’m really looking forward to it,” notes the entertainer. That's why the Maggas like to perform in different cities during the carnival, where they perform several shows in one evening.
The band's origins also play a role. In addition to their colorful performances, they also incorporated influences from Bremen into their music. The band name “Big Maggas” expresses the Hamburg mentality, in which “Big” stands for big and “Maggas” stands for guy. So the name is not only a catchy tune, but also a bit of a feeling of home.
A bit of everyday life
But what is behind the colorful stage performances? "A normal day for us often includes rehearsals and everyday tasks, such as mowing the lawn or accounting. Sometimes you just have to put in a little bit of hard work," smiles Roy. This shows that the band is not only talented, but also has both feet firmly planted in life.
The old town festival in Gifhorn will not only be a place for exuberant celebrations, but also a place of remembrance for the band Big Maggas, who presented themselves to the audience here for the first time many years ago. If you want to get involved in this evening, you shouldn't miss it!
