31 days of wonderful experiences with these artists and performers in the Fan Zone Olympic Park
Buck Roger & The Sidetrackers
Buck Roger & The Sidetrackers is a nine-piece combo that fuses different musical influences into a single entity. Sometimes danceable and energetic, sometimes sensitive. Sometimes more rock, sometimes more swing, sometimes blues, sometimes folk and then a nuanced mixture of everything. The unbridled joy of playing, stylistic diversity and the harmony of the individual musicians and instruments always take centre stage.
DKMS-Truck - Mund auf, Stäbchen rein, Spender sein
Open your mouth, take a swab, be a donor - the DKMS and its co-operation partner ‘Blut transportiert e.V.’ will be stopping off with their truck in the Fan Zone in front of the Olympic Hall (East Entrance) on the opening day. You can register here as a potential stem cell donor free of charge from 1 to 9 p.m. Simply drop by and register with DKMS in just a few minutes by taking a swab of your cheek mucosa.
Ted Christopher
Ted Christopher is one of Scotland's finest artists. He is a well-travelled and extremely versatile singer-songwriter. Whether he is singing sensitive original compositions in front of a concert audience, performing Scottish favourites for the Tartan Army or playing his extensive repertoire of pop/rock music to a packed dance floor, he feels at home anywhere.
Kelvin Jones
Kelvin Jones loves creating new music in the studio. Streaming figures, record sales and multiple gold and platinum awards throughout Europe prove that he excels at this. However, he also lives for being on stage and interacting with the audience. In doing so, he gives his songs a unique context to take fans on a unique rollercoaster ride between wild dancing and thoughtful feeling.
Claymore Pipes and Drums
The Claymore Pipes and Drums are a traditional bagpipe band from Munich that performs Scottish music at a high level. They play at birthdays, corporate events, TV productions, etc. and have also been engaged for concerts with Rod Stewart, Mike Oldfield, Carlos Nunez and André Rieu. In ‘Pullman City’ they are part of the ‘Highland Games’ and they also take part in the Munich St Patrick's Parade every year.
Shows and workshops with football freestyler Patrick Bäurer
Patrick Bäurer, four-time Guinness World Record holder and runner-up in world football freestyle championships, will perform his fascinating show on the lake stage. Patrick inspires people all over the world with his football tricks and amazes professional footballers such as Neymar and Mbappé. In addition to show acts, he also offers workshops in the Fan Zone where cool tricks can be learnt. There will also be an autograph session and the opportunity to play various challenges with Patrick.
We love Munich – Max Weidner
The Weidner is in! At the age of 29, Max lives in the idyllic region near Weiden in the Upper Palatinate. But the talented musician is known far beyond the borders of his homeland and will make the lake stage shake! Max is an absolute figurehead for the Bavarian attitude to life. For him, Munich is not just a dot on the map - it is his vibes capital, a mix of big city flair and village cosiness, infused with white and blue lifeblood.
Funk Off
Pushing groove, energetic beats, fat brass kicks and blatant emotions: that's Funk Off - a young collective of eleven musicians - united by their passion for music, their friendship and their common home, the Allgäu. With their unique fusion of funk, hip-hop, ska & soul, they inspire with their rousing sounds and energetic stage presence. At the Fan Zone lake stage, Funk Off will take to the lake stage with a concentrated load of power - fat brass sections, bold lyrics and pulsating rhythms included.
DONIKKL Crew
Watch out kids! Join Larissa and Caro from the DONIKKL Crew on the lake stage at the ‘Good Mood Children's Concert’ to sing, dance and laugh along. Here the kids can dance with the goblin from the enchanted forest, go on a treasure hunt with pirates or jump like a kangaroo ...
The Funky Blues Rabbits
A wild ride through music with lots of show and fun: that's probably the best way to summarise a performance by the Funky Blues Rabbits. Whenever you think you understand which direction the music is heading in, the next break comes and so Macklemore follows Celine Dion and Scooter follows Billie Eilish or Queen. The No Angels fit in well with Snoop Dogg and then a bit of techno or hard style. The ten-piece band from the Upper Palatinate is the perfect starter for a fantastic day of football on the lake stage.
Dis M
Cousins Eli and Tobi massage the ears of their listeners with finely pointed lyrics, powerful voices and the limited resources of two properly operated guitars. And they do this exclusively with acoustic instruments, which they have developed into a witty ensemble through constant rehearsals. The unmistakable charm of the Chiemgauers quickly casts a spell over the audience and you immediately take them to your heart.
DA FU.N.K. Master Dance Crew
Known from various film productions (most recently ‘Girl You Know It's true’) and as a support act for megastars such as Justin Timberlake, Janet Jackson, Usher and many more, the DA F.U.N.K. Master Dance Crew know exactly how to make the stage shake with their spectacular hip-hop show and really heat up the audience. The European hip-hop champions know what it takes to put on a show on the Fan Zone lake stage and give their all for their audience!
Kytes
Setting out does not always mean saying goodbye and friendship does not mean standing still. Genuine lightness arises from precisely this mix of freedom and familiarity. The four Munich-based Kytes draw their feel-good sound from this. Live, Kytes exude a rousing, exuberant mixture of indie disco & electro pop. They have already played more than 250 shows, including sold-out tours and festival slots at the Melt! Festival, The Great Escape or the PULS Open Air and now in the Fan Zone.
Finn
In a world that sometimes seems overwhelmed by superficiality and artifice, an artist emerges who is dedicated to honest sounds and true emotions. By weaving the deepest feelings into his melodies and taking them straight to the hearts of his listeners, Finn creates a movement, an inspiration for those seeking true connection and meaning in music. His songs are more than just entertainment - they are meant to be an inspiration. A reflection of the human soul.
Fan Club of German National Team
In the Fan Zone Munich there will be several activations of the Fan Club of the German National Team. You can look forward to: the fan club bus, an XXL photo frame in fan club design as a popular photo motif, the SUTU wall where you can show off your football skills, attractive competitions and prominent fan club members. As a special treat, a celebrity trainer will lead a kids' training session on the mini pitch.
I Finton
I Finton brings together a rhythmic mix of reggae, dancehall, folk and rap. With his powerful and soulful voice, Finton also blew away the jury on The Voice of Germany in 2020. ‘So much truth, so much greatness, so much soul,’ enthused Mark Foster. ‘I am an instrument of nature,’ says the Zimbabwean, who lives in Germany. I Finton combines lively elements of jazz and sungura, the national beat of Zimbabwe, gospel and reggae. The result is a positive rhythmic flow of honest and hopeful sounds.
DeSchoWieda
Whether live tour, television appearances, film music or social media heroes: With their unique mix of dialect pop and folk music, the likeable representatives of the Bavarian wave bring people together and secure at least first place in the musical hearts of young and old, and certainly also on the lake stage of the Fan Zone.
Francophonix
Bonjour à tous, you like the beautiful old chansons, but you also want to dance? That works very well with the Francophonix! The six musicians from France, Italy and Germany celebrate the classics of Edith Piaf, Jacques Brel, Patricia Kaas, Vaya con Dios, Django Reinhardt and Vanessa Paradis with joie de vivre. Guitars, accordion, clarinet, flute, double bass and percussion accompany the singer Anna in her mother tongue French. In short: enjoy the savoir-vivre à la française of the Francophonix!
Robert Rias
The singer, pianist and composer Robert Rias creates a very special magic with his songs that makes the audience dream. He inspires with his own songs in a rock-classical style. The audience is not only treated to his own compositions and songs, but also to pop classics by Udo Jürgens and many others. There will also be songs by Grönemeyer, John Miles, etc. With his full, warm voice, Robert Rias will whisk you away into the wondrous world of music ...
HOVR
HOVR is a queer producer and DJ from Berlin. His musical story is a love story. It begins at the piano at the age of five and leads to him becoming a globally acclaimed musician. At home wherever the music calls him, he puts a smile on people's faces with his energetic mix of disco, house and trance. His mission is to support spaces for free development - also on the lake stage of the Fan Zone.
Mixed Comedy Arts
The champions of all classes - MCA officially crowns ‘The Ultimate Comedian’. The new format from Urban Comedy. This is not an amateur contest, but the final with the two best qualified comedians from Germany. They compete against each other in the disciplines of stand-up, crowdwork, writing, repertoire, improvisation and roast. As exciting as boxing - every hit is a laugh. MCA is a globally unique and innovative contest. For the first time objectively analysed by AI, plus subjective voting by the audience. No matter who comes out on top - the audience always wins. Be there on the lake stage and #lachdichglücklich.
Roxxdoxx
Roxxdoxx from Munich - that's Roxx'n'Roll with four Xs. A band goes full throttle and guarantees fun for all rock fans. Tried and tested at many music events. The recipe is simple and successful: a powerful mix of well-known rock classics from across the decades - from the Stones, Beatles, Gary Moore, Deep Purple, Status Quo, Queen, AC/DC to ZZ Top. Rooxxdoxx will get even the most tired dance and football legs shaking.
Ezé Wendtoin
Ezé is a multi-faceted black artist from Burkina Faso who only became black in Germany. He is not referring to his skin colour, but to the political dimension of being black. The multi-award-winning artist empowers himself with his music and once again becomes a bridge builder between people with his new DIY album ‘Schwarz wurde Ich’. ‘Schwarz wurde Ich’ goes back to his Afro roots, inspired by Afro-beats, Afro-trap, Amapiano, drill and West African vibes.
Poetry Slam
While Europe's best football teams battle it out for the championship, the city's poetry slam elite will be competing for the title of summer slam champion of the year. You can look forward to the most popular literary format of our time, the sport of the spoken word and the full range of the comic and the touching, the finest stage poetry and breathtaking performances. As always, the slam fans on site will decide the outcome of the competition in two preliminary rounds and the super-thrilling final of the best eight slammers.
Das Urban Comedy Super Open Air
The absolute comedy highlights of the year, including Maria Clara Groppler, Simon Pearce and host Freez! The spectacular stand-up and improv comedy format, home of Munich's first stand-up comedy club, goes Super Open Air. This will be an absolutely unique event: experience magical improv moments together with your favourite Munich people, celebrate the best stand-up performances and laugh happily together. Simply forget the stress of everyday life or world-weariness and yes, the good humour for take away. Be there and #lachdichglücklich.

Bavarian State Youth Jazz Orchestra (LJJB)
‘It's about educating people’. The LJJB brings together around 300 young Bavarian musicians between the ages of 16 and 25. The main aim is to promote young talent. ‘Strengthening each other’ is the LJJB motto. The LJJB is not a concert orchestra with a predetermined programme. Pieces are not rehearsed note for note, the path leads via the personal experience of music to a unity of joy in playing and perfection. You can look forward to a mixture of swing classics, modern jazz, Latin jazz, jazz rock, funk and hip hop.
Harrycane Orchestra
The fascinating Harrycane Orchestra, led by drummer and composer Harry Alt and Turkish singer Tarkan Yesil, hails from Augsburg and has already released two albums with its mixture of jazz, oriental rhythms and Arabic melodies. The music is based on an epic song structure with well-defined compositional structures and plenty of room for impulsive improvisation. The emotional Turkish vocals of Tarkan Yesil hovers over everything...
SiEA
How marvellous anger can sound, how cheerful lovesickness, how loud the rebellion! SiEA writes everything off its chest, frees itself from sadness and begins to dance. SiEA makes socially critical avant-garde pop, heartbreaking indie rock and plays exciting techno ballads. The seven musicians revel in the intimacy of a duo moment, only to fire off the entire apparatus of rhythm section, brass feature and sometimes three-part vocals in the next moment.
Marquess
Marquess - that's the right groove for the lake stage. Although their summer source of inspiration is lake Maschsee in Lower Saxony's state capital. They have the sun in their hearts and you can imagine the sea when they play the guitar. The three are also successful in southern countries in particular. When someone on the ‘plaza major’ in Andalusia says that Marquees' music has the right groove, they are particularly proud. ‘Favoritas’, ‘en movimiento’, ‘turbulento’, ‘energia’ or the new single ‘bailando sola’ - even those who don't speak Spanish can feel the special rhythm.
Brew Berrymore
Accompanied by show dance legend Pavo Royal, the band Brew Berrymore promises a visual and musical spectacle that redefines the boundaries of a concert experience. With their new recording ‘Better Together’, they reflect the joy of playing and the energy with which they spur their audience on to peak physical performances from concert to concert. You can expect an explosive mixture of alternative guitar sounds, synth anthems and an equally weird and harmonious mix of indie and 80s.
Desperate Brasswives
The musicians mix up every party with cover versions of popular pop songs! Their unique arrangements give hits and well-known sing-along refrains their very own character. Genuine ‘brass pop’, combining the best of club beats and party atmosphere - that's exactly their sound! With their positive energy and tongue-in-cheek charm, they have every audience on their side in no time at all. It's easy to get carried away, because from the very first bar - with the sound of tuba, trombones and trumpets - there's no stopping them on the lake stage!
Hundling
In Bavaria, a Hundling is someone who gets up to something, but you can't really be angry with him. With a joy in observation and subtle humour, the Munich singer-songwriter tells small, sometimes bizarre, sometimes funny stories - straight from life and always close to the people. Musically, it is clothed in a mixture of rock'n'roll and folk, presented by a furious band that comes up with pedal steel, organ, mandolin, piano, lush electric guitars and crisp background choirs.
Bavarian Philharmonic Orchestra (String Quintet)
In the Bavarian Philharmonic's spin-off string quintet, a five-piece ensemble consisting of international musicians performs together with international success. It presents a classical programme of well-known melodies and composers, moderated by the conductor and artistic director Mark Mast, a highlight for classical music fans on the lake stage.
HNO SOUND SYSTEM
Founded in 2018, the DJ collective began with the simple idea of curing as many people as possible of so-called ‘construction site music taste’. Since then, HNO (German for ear, nose and throat) has quickly become one of the top experts in ‘curing ears’. HNO Sound System operates as an independent music label, digital distributor and event agency. Heading into 2024, their main focus is on delivering the best live experiences and releasing music. The artists: cartirafal | DJ Bass | DJ Monaco | DJ STYX COV3 | DJ Sucuk | gilm0re.
ABM Orchestra
The ABM Orchestra of the Attl Foundation near Wasserburg has been around since 2002, with nine people with mental disabilities and five carers making music together. They have recorded four CDs and played well over 300 gigs in Germany and Austria, performing their own songs and rocking covers in Bavarian and German. The ABM Orchestra is one of the best integrative bands in Germany - in addition to the original songs and the amazing skills of the musicians, it is above all the great joy of playing that captivates the audience.
Lauraine
Lauraine is the synth-pop project of Laura Glauber from Munich. Behind the pseudonym is not only a profound and empowering sound - in the logo, the singer shows her colours for feminine aesthetics and more diversity in the music industry. The Braille under the lettering in the logo is a sign of accessibility and inclusion - a fundamental theme in the life of Laura, who has been a prosthesis user since birth. In addition to the strong front woman, the band consists of Stefan Deimel (guitar), Valentin Gramm (synths, bass) and Alexander Petri (drums).
„Merge“ – Visual Escapism
In times of war, destruction, hatred and the division of society, ‘Merge’ aims to present a creative counter-movement that is defined by a fusion of expression, styles, emotions, love and various forms of escapism. Complex topics, current events, discrimination, individual and collective problems are communicated and processed aesthetically, poetically and visually. The ‘Visual Escapism’ collective's project communicates through dance, acapella and film. Their aim is to create spaces for BIPOC in particular and to demonstrate visual processing and learning processes.
Bukahara
With up to a hundred concerts a year and four studio albums to date, Bukahara have built up a large number of followers bit by bit and under their own steam, but still seem to sail somewhat under the radar in the perception of the masses, even though they have performed in large halls on their biggest tour to date in 2023. You could say that in the music industry, Bukahara are the biggest unknown band in Germany. They see music as a big, wide field, a kind of adventure playground and they can't easily be categorised into a genre.
Roadstring Army
Guitars and voices as rough as the cobblestones they come from. The band Roadstring Army is a warm cup of black coffee for dreamers driven by self-doubt. Thinking with the heart. In search of themselves. The bolt cutters for being different. Electric guitars paired with catchy hooklines. A unique combination of handmade, raw rock and cuddly hip-hop elements on the pulse of the new age.
Diana Ezerex
When impressions from social commitment, society and the reflection of one's own life do not let go, the humus for the music of singer-songwriter Diana Ezerex is created. With her songs, she creates a platform for artistic, cultural and social interaction. It's not just music: her deep, touching voice moves the audience to a socially critical examination of the grievances of marginalisation, confinement, integration, social injustice and freedom.
The Lorbank Collective
The band from Lake Constance is completely dedicated to folk rock. The Lorbank Collective creates its own sound with two-part vocals, guitars and banjo. The result: diverse songs - melancholic and dreamy, full of energy - where no foot remains still. The band locates its own style between beacons of the golden folk era such as Simon & Garfunkel or Bob Dylan, today's folk greats such as Mumford & Sons and influences from a wide variety of modern genres.
Pohlmann
Pohlmann, the Westphalian from Hamburg by choice, who wrote ‘Wenn jetzt Sommer wär’ in a pub, is now an integral part of the German-language music scene. He landed a hit with this song in 2006. It is as if his lyrics are travelling back in time. And although he wants to stimulate thought with his songs, Pohlmann knows that the message, combined with humour and positivity, offers the best connection to the audience. As a result, his live shows on stage always have a really good attitude to life.
Bananenflanke e.V. tournament on the Soccer Field:
Football knows no boundaries! Team Bananenflanke is an innovative football project especially for children with mental disabilities. The focus is on football, but there is much more behind it: emotions are awakened through experiential educational influences, which help to develop personality and social skills. A sense of achievement and the associated development of positive self-esteem take centre stage. The Bananenflanken kickers train regularly under professional guidance in their local Bananenflanke e.V. team. The matches/tournaments are played on street soccer fields. The venues are public spaces to bring the sport to where it belongs: the centre of society! The soccer field in the Fan Zone is therefore just the right place for the banana flank tournament on 7 July.
Hanna Sikasa
‘Catchy melodies, but sung and arranged in a complex way, with poppy clarity, jazzy timbre and poetic, sometimes almost hypnotic lyrics, that is Sikasa's already quite unmistakable recipe.’ [Süddeutsche Zeitung] Hanna Sikasa - the Afro-German singer and composer performs solo with voice and keys, as well as with her eight-piece band. They make pop music that incorporates elements of jazz, soul and R'n'B. When the band family comes together, the full power of the songs unfolds.
Open Air cinema - Die Wilden Kerle 1
Open-air cinema is the order of the day at the lake stage. The film ‘Die Wilden Kerle 1’ will be shown, including interviews and Q&As with the producer and actors.
Impala Ray
If you want to know what letting go sounds like, take off to Impala Ray and land in freedom with producer Ray and co-pilot Dominik, grinning broadly. When Impala Ray's soundtrack of warm grooves, relaxed bay vibes and laid-back lyrics plays, all doubts fall by the wayside - what counts is friendship, adventure, self-knowledge and life right in front of your nose. So, take a deep breath, turn up the volume and get going. Because it doesn't matter what you look like when you dance to these songs.
Waseem
After numerous musical and political projects such as ‘Die Urbane’, ‘Malcolm R & Waseem’ or ‘Work is a human right’, the German-Egyptian artist and activist Waseem presents a live show with ‘Dr Love’ on trumpet and ‘CCJ’ on drums. Waseem also regularly organises major hip-hop events and has already performed on stage with the likes of R.A. The Rugged Man, M1 from Dead Prez, Mr. Lif, Sadat X, Rass Kass and Amewu. The audience can expect poetic, political and radically positive lyrics - and some special guests from the various collaborations of this committed rapper.
Moop Mama x Älice
Moop Mama - brass music and rap? What had to be laboriously explained in the early years has now proven itself at countless festivals. Four studio albums and the associated tours, two live albums, various single releases and guerrilla events have made Moop Mama a permanent fixture and inspiration for numerous projects. With Älice (formerly of Chefboss), Moop Mama has found a new voice. At home in many genres and singing as confidently as she raps, the new front woman delivers full stage power in Moop Mama style.
They have been on stage since 1990! True to the motto ‘Movement keeps you young’, the Philhomoniker have changed again and again during this time. From travesty, fumbling and the menopause of an empress, they have developed into a choir that serves various genres. There is one thing the Philhomoniker never do: music without a plot, without costumes, without choreography. They are always on the move and stage the arranged pieces not only vocally.
Willman
‘Rap-smooched electropop’ that not only gets heads moving, but also legs - this is how the pop duo Willman, who recently supported rapper Nura, aptly describe themselves. With a mixture of finely tuned melodies, rap parts and electronic beat elements, the Freiburg-based band packs complex themes into relaxed and danceable sounds. As a socio-political band, Willman creates a new normality instead of ignoring existing injustices. And that works best when you dance to it.
Jamaram
Jamaram, the reggae eight-piece that has been considered unsinkable since it was founded at the turn of the millennium, with thousands of live shows under its belt, is far from flat! Join Jamaram (meets Jahcoustix) live and direct against the death of clubs and festivals, against courtship on mobile phones and couch potatoes with dope, booze and Netflix. The band stands for peace, cosmopolitanism and respect, against war, intolerance and isolation. Without borders and walls - colourful diversity and joie de vivre, in real life as well as in music.
E-sports day
Immerse yourself in the exciting world of e-sports at the ultimate gaming event! The highlight of the day will be the EA FC 24 tournament organised by Host City Munich. The best 32 players who have previously competed in an exciting qualifying tournament will compete throughout the day. All visitors will also have the opportunity to experience EA FC 24 in a free gaming area and put their skills to the test. One special guest who will enrich the event is the professional and influencer Niklas Luginsland. With over one million followers on social networks, he is one of the most renowned creators and streamers in the EA FC sector. As a content creator for VfB Stuttgart and winner of numerous prestigious awards, Niklas is a true great in the gaming scene. But Niklas' influence goes far beyond gaming. With his brittle bone disability, he has a special story to tell and shows that anything is possible with passion and determination. He is particularly committed to the topic of inclusion in gaming, authentically and consciously. In addition to his gaming career, Niklas also has an academic degree (Master's in Sports Management) and is a pioneer and speaker on many topics relating to inclusion and gaming. On the e-sports day, there will also be the opportunity to create your own personalised Ultimate card on the FUT Card Creator and take it home with you! But that's not all the E-Sports Day has to offer: you can put your skills to the test with Mario Kart - Live Circuit and for those who crave the classic Mario Kart, there will also be a Switch Mario Kart Station.
Streetdance day
Immerse yourself in the world of street dance at the SDF Bavarian Open in the Fan Zone on 12 July! Experience rousing beats, breathtaking moves and thrilling performances when the best dancers show off their skills as a team, duo or solo. Enjoy the unforgettable open-air atmosphere, cool music and plenty of action right in the heart of Munich. Let yourself be carried away by the energy of the street dance community and experience a dance spectacle in a class of its own!
Cosby
One of Munich's most promising indie pop bands is back with its fourth album. They still believe in a better world, a better tomorrow and better pop songs. In any case, it's the kind of music that gets everyone on their feet. Daring to make a new start. Finding themselves again. Again and again they surprise us with how seamlessly this straddle between indie or DIY spirit and oversize pop statements can work.
Iggi Kelly
Musician, performer, TV star - he has long since conquered the stage. The multi-talented performer impressed at the blind auditions of ‘The Voice Kids’ in 2017 and won the affection of Mark Forster. After being eliminated in the semi-finals, the Düsseldorf native remained loyal to The Voice format and caused a stir as a backstage reporter in 2019. He then continued on his consistent path by going on tour with British pop rap high-flyers Bars & Melody.
Welshly Arms
Welshly Arms captured the attention of the music world with their hit single ‘Legendary’, which went platinum in Germany and Switzerland with over 200 million streams. The song's warm reception brought the five proud Midwesterners to the world's biggest stages and festivals, including Lollapalooza, The Reeding & Leeds Festival, Bottlerock, Rock am Ring, Hangout Music Fest, Shaky Knees and many more.
DA F.U.N.K. KIDZ und YOUNGSTARS Showcrew
In their cool hip-hop show, the DA F.U.N.K. Showcrew dancers from Germany's biggest dance school show what they can do even at a young age. The kidz and young stars perform killer moves, as seen in films, TV and social media, live on the lake stage and rock every song to perfection.
Munich Music Day
Since its foundation in 1990, the Bavarian State Youth Accordion Orchestra can look back on many concerts and tours. Concert tour destinations have included Australia, Russia, Brazil, China and many countries in Europe.
Since 1975, the Bavarian State Youth Orchestra has been inviting young musicians between the ages of 13 and 20 to receive in-depth training in a large symphonic ensemble. The young musicians have put together a very special programme with conductor Andreas Martin Hofmeir, better known as a barefoot tuba player, Echo award winner and music cabaret artist.
Spielleute-Ensemble Bayern The marching bands and fanfare bands from Eggenfelden, Gilching and Holzkirchen have joined forces to form a large orchestra for Munich Music Day and present classical brass band music.
Representing the Bavarian brass band scene, the Bläserphilharmonie Forchheim-Buckenhofen and its conductor Mathias Wehr will present a programme of symphonic brass band literature. As a tribute to the ‘Instrument of the Year 2024 - Tuba’, the ‘Tuba Concerto’ by Edward Gregson will be played.
The Bavarian State Youth Band is made up of young musicians aged between 12 and 24. The repertoire: a mixture of classical and modern music with original works and arrangements for plucked string orchestra from all eras.
Percussion is more than just accompaniment. The six musicians of Hexagon Percussion demonstrate this. Unusual sounds, unusual arrangements, wit and, above all, rousing energy - that's Hexagon Percussion.
The Bavarian State Youth Choir is aimed at young people between the ages of 16 and 27 to introduce them to professional choral singing and prepare talented young people for a career in music. It comprises 65 singers who rehearse and perform choral literature from different eras in an exemplary manner.
Fast Boy
More talent is hardly possible when you talk about the brothers Lucas and Felix from Berlin, who together form the duo Fast Boy and are on the road as producers, DJs, singer-songwriters and instrumentalists. They have overrun the dance music scene at an exceptionally fast pace. They climbed to the top of the charts just as quickly in collaboration with DJs such as HUGEL, Alle Farben and Meduza. Their catchy and danceable songs have amassed up to 500 million streams.
Bavarian Police Orchestra
In keeping with Munich being the venue for the UEFA EURO 2024, the Bavarian Police Orchestra opens the concert with the Bavarian Defilier March. This is followed by fiery Mexican rhythms with Danzón No. 2 by Arturo Márquez. Michael Kamen's heroic sounds to Robin Hood and virtuoso cornet solos in Bugler's Holiday provide a varied sound experience. With We are the World and Heal the World, two world hits by Michael Jackson are on the program, as well as the galactic film music from Star Wars. The orchestra under the direction of chief conductor Johann Mösenbichler rounds off the varied music program with highlights from the Irish sensation Riverdance.
Go Sing Choir
The Go Sing Choir is Munich's open pop choir - every meeting features a freshly arranged pop song, of which a video is recorded at the end of the event. Anyone can join in - no audition, no membership, no musical knowledge required. Simply listen to the current song, come along, get to know new people and sing together as a polyphonic choir. Jens Junker (choir director) and Ian Chapman (guitar, arrangement) look forward to singing with you in the Fan Zone!
Münchener Freiheit
The music of Münchener Freiheit has a special appeal. Its appeal remains unbroken to this day and is strong enough to capture the hearts of the next generation. Hits such as ‘Oh Baby’, ‘SOS’, the super hits ‘Ohne Dich’, ‘1000-mal Du’ or ‘So lang’ man Träume noch leben kann’ can be found in almost every CD cabinet in Germany. Münchener Freiheit is a band that has written German and international pop history. One reason for this is certainly the unique ‘Freiheit sound’ of unmistakable vocals, beautiful, catchy melodies and rousing rock rhythms.
