A Synth-Pop Icon in the Kurpark

The Bad Nenndorf State Garden Show 2026 transforms the entire Kurpark area into a green event stage from spring to autumn. In addition to gardens, themed worlds, and hands-on activities, the organizers are focusing on a high-caliber concert program – and Alphaville is among the undisputed highlights. On June 5, 2026, Marian Gold and the band will take the main stage to present a cross-section of around four decades of band history.

Four Decades of German Synth-Pop

Founded in Münster in 1982, Alphaville is one of the most influential German bands in international pop history. With "Forever Young," the trio around singer Marian Gold created an anthem that has long connected generations and is understood across cultural borders. "Big in Japan," "Sounds Like a Melody," and "Dance with Me" complement a repertoire that remains present worldwide on festival stages, in films, and on streaming playlists to this day. Despite changing line-ups, Marian Gold has stood for the band's unmistakable voice for over forty years.

Concert as Part of the State Garden Show

The open-air concert will take place on the main stage of the State Garden Show – a venue in the middle of the historic Bad Nenndorf Kurpark with its old trees, restored colonnades, and thematic garden cabinets. Admission is tailored to the concert evening; a separate ticket is required. Whether the day ticket for the garden show is included in the concert price or must be purchased as an additional option will be communicated by the organizers via their website.

Embedded in the 2026 Cultural Program

Bad Nenndorf, located in the Schaumburg district, will become a cultural stage for Lower Saxony for several months in 2026. The State Garden Show will attract hundreds of thousands of visitors to the spa town, combining garden art with concerts, readings, sports, and family activities. The Alphaville concert forms one of the musical cornerstones of the summer program and is aimed at lovers of the elegiac 1980s sound as well as younger listeners who have long discovered "Forever Young" via Spotify and TikTok.

Alphaville Bad Nenndorf — edition 2026

On Friday, June 5, 2026, the Bad Nenndorf State Garden Show brings one of Germany's best-known synth-pop bands to its main stage in the Kurpark. Alphaville will perform an evening-long open-air set starting at 6:00 PM, combining the band's biggest hits with newer tracks from their current repertoire. "Forever Young," "Big in Japan," and "Sounds Like a Melody" are expected on the setlist, alongside melancholic album tracks. The concert is a highlight of the LGS cultural program and requires a separate ticket, as it takes place outside the regular daily use of the garden show.

An Evening in the Kurpark

The Bad Nenndorf Kurpark offers a special open-air backdrop in early summer: old trees, blooming themed gardens, and the historic colonnades frame the main stage of the State Garden Show. Starting at 6:00 PM, the concert utilizes the last hours of daylight, transitioning into the blue hour – ideal for Alphaville's atmospheric soundscape.

Lineup and Program

The evening's lineup will be headlined by Alphaville. The organizer will provide information about potential support acts or opening bands on the official website of the State Garden Show. Based on experience, the band typically performs concerts lasting 90 to 120 minutes, featuring hits from all phases of their career.
