2025 Edition at the Airfield

The Bandlift Festival 2025 took place as usual in July at the Gerstetten airfield. For four festival days, the familiar program ran with choir night, band night, beer mile + band night, and youth day of brass music to conclude. Admission was free, and about 3,000 visitors gathered from the region.

The organizer was Musikverein Harmonie Gerstetten e.V., which has hosted the festival since 2015, offering young bands from the Swabian Jura and all of Baden-Württemberg a professional festival stage. The heath landscape of the Ostalb, the spacious festival meadow, and the family-friendly atmosphere made the 2025 edition a summer highlight in the district of Heidenheim.
