Göttingen celebrates the Open Sound Festival: music for everyone!
Summer in Göttingen is bringing a breath of fresh air into the cultural scene this year! Instead of the traditionally popular KWP Festival, which has taken place as part of the cultural summer since 1990, the “Open Sound Festival” is on the program in 2025. As HNA reports, the event will offer live music at the Göttingen weekly market over six evenings from June 26th to August 8th, 2025 - and all without admission! A great gift for all music lovers and those who just want to relax in a pleasant atmosphere.
The Open Sound Festival offers a varied music program that this year covers various genres: from indie and rock to neo-classical to electro and children's pop'n'roll. Artists such as Dota, Martin Kohlstedt and Kytes promise to delight a wide audience, while the exciting line-up continues to feature acts such as Pelemele, the Flause collective and Sweety Glitter & the Sweethearts.
