Open-Air in the Sauerland Stadium
In recent years, the Bautz Festival has become one of the most important festival dates in the Märkisches Sauerland. The venue is the Nattenberg Stadium in Lüdenscheid – the stadium's naturally amphitheater-like location offers ideal viewing and acoustic conditions for a festival with multiple stages. The 2026 edition runs on Friday, August 28 (from 4 PM) and Saturday, August 29 (from 2 PM).
Five Stages – Five Worlds
Bautz relies on a broad genre programming across five stages:
- Main Stage – the main stage for pop, rock, and mainstream acts
- Collabo Stage – Hip-Hop, Hardcore Punk, and Crossover
- Alma de Mallorca – Party Schlager and Mallorca sound (Isi Glück, Almklausi)
- Turntable Stage – DJ sets and electronic music
- Camping & Side Stages – smaller performances spread across the festival grounds
Main Stage Line-up
The Main Stage features established stars: Jan Delay & Disko No. 1 (Hamburg's reggae/funk pioneer), Alphaville (eighties synth-pop classic "Forever Young"), ClockClock (German indie-pop), Juli (pop-rock from Gießen, known for "Perfekte Welle"), as well as Benno!, Fayan, Knallblech, Paula Carolina, and Baumgart.
Collabo Stage – Harder Sounds and Genre Mix
The Collabo Stage hosts the more experimental and harder acts: OG Keemo (German rapper), Stick to your Guns (US Hardcore Punk), Sylosis (British Thrash Metal), Azad (German Hip-Hop veteran), Callejon (German metal band), Fjørt (Post-Hardcore), plus OG LU, Sampagne, Avralize, Hexer, Stellvris, Allwettercrew, Kitana, and Poppy Wizard.
Alma de Mallorca – Schlager Sun
The Alma de Mallorca stage is Bautz's unique crossover element: Isi Glück, Noisetime, Almklausi, Mambo Kurt, and BEATBAER bring Mallorca flair to the Sauerland – a deliberate break from the harder program that attracts a young audience.
Camping and Tickets
Camping is available on the festival grounds. 2-day ticket: 114.50 Euros, children free. Over 10 more acts will be announced in the months leading up to the festival.
Lüdenscheid in the Märkisches Sauerland
Lüdenscheid is the district town of the Märkischer Kreis in the Sauerland region, with around 73,000 inhabitants. The Nattenberg Stadium is one of the city's most important sports venues – its selection as a festival location transforms the classic Sauerland townscape into a modern, young city. Bautz is a flagship of this change, attracting festival-goers from the entire Bergisches Land, Märkisches Sauerland, and beyond.
