Bonanza Discotheque as History
The Bonanza discotheque was one of the defining discotheques in Schöningen and the wider region in the 70s, 80s, and early 90s. Anyone who was young and wanted to dance in the Helmstedt region knew "the Bonanza." Even after its closure, the location at Elmstraße 10 remained a nostalgically charged place.
Festival as a Revival
With the first Bonanza Open Air held in 2022, local organizers revived the location — not as a discotheque, but as an open-air festival. The reference to the old name Bonanza is deliberate — it plays on the nostalgia of older generations and creates attention for a new format.
Over 1,000 Visitors
The festival regularly attracts over 1,000 visitors — a remarkable figure for an open-air event in an 11,000-inhabitant town like Schöningen. Its popularity shows that the format has found the right mix of music, atmosphere, and price level.
Musical Profile
Bonanza Open Air focuses on music that appeals to the public. Cover bands with rock, pop, and Schlager classics, solo artists, and possibly DJ sets — the program is deliberately broad and aimed at an adult, party-loving audience.
Grounds in front of the Schützenkorporation
The festival site is located at Elmstraße 10, on the grounds in front of the Schützenkorporation Schöningen, including the former Bonanza grounds. The area offers enough space for a stage, catering zone, and several hundred spectators.
Date for 2026 in Spring
The exact date for 2026 will be published in spring 2026. In 2025, the festival took place on June 27th and 28th — a similar timing for 2026 is likely. Current information is available on the festival's Facebook page.
Bonanza Open Air — edition 2026
The exact date, band lineup, and ticket prices for 2026 will be published by the organizer Bonanza Open Air Schöningen shortly before the event on the festival's official Facebook page. The structure will follow the proven key points of previous years:
Festival day or weekend in June with main concerts in the evening, cover bands and live acts with a rock/pop/Schlager profile, catering on-site, and winding down at night. For a two-day format, with two day tickets or a festival pass.
