Unser Aller Festival – Jesper Munk / Mario Bekeschus

Two Program Points on One Evening

On June 5, 2026, the Unser Aller Festival takes the opportunity to perform at two locations simultaneously. In the Kultbahnhof Gifhorn, Jesper Munk and his band will be on stage; in the Künstlerhaus Meinersen, about 20 kilometers away, Mario Bekeschus will read from his crime novel Im Eichtal. This creates a festival evening where visitors can choose between a musical concert and a literary reading.

Jesper Munk at Kultbahnhof Gifhorn

Jesper Munk, born in Munich in 1992, is one of the most international voices in the German music scene. With German-American roots and a socialization between blues, folk, and Americana, he has made a name for himself as a solo artist since his debut over ten years ago. His raw voice, virtuoso guitar playing, and English lyrics make him an artist who is as convincing in singer-songwriter clubs as he is on festival stages. The Kultbahnhof Gifhorn is known for its high-quality live program.

Mario Bekeschus at Künstlerhaus Meinersen

Mario Bekeschus reads from his crime novel Im Eichtal at the Künstlerhaus Meinersen. The North German author combines regional settings – for example, in the fictional Eichtal – with classic crime literature in his novels. The atmosphere of the Künstlerhaus Meinersen, one of the most important cultural addresses in the region, is ideal for a focused reading. A mixture of presentation, reading, and conversation with the author characterizes the format.

Aller Festival in the Gifhorn District

With its decentralized concept, the Aller Festival brings high-quality culture to the towns, villages, and venues of the Gifhorn district. From May 29 to June 7, 2026, there will be 14 or more program points spread out; individual evenings offer parallel events, ensuring a wide selection.

Practical Information

Both dates are ticketed separately. Those who want to see both cannot – the concert and reading take place at the same time. The decision between music and literature becomes the hallmark of this festival evening.
