About Brassfestival
Brassfestival — edition 2026
2026 Edition — Four Worlds in Four Days
The 2026 Brassfestival at the Panzerhalle Tübingen presents a particularly international lineup. Four days, four concerts, four genres — from New Orleans Brass-Funk (Lucky Chops) to French Chanson-Pop (Les Yeux d'la Tête) and German Indie-Pop (Von Wegen Lisbeth) to a 70s tribute (Sonic Love). This genre mix is rare in the German festival calendar.
The Panzerhalle, a former industrial hall, offers a special acoustic and atmosphere for the concerts. With a total of four evenings, each featuring a headliner plus support, the festival is manageable, intimate, and concert-focused — not a mass festival vibe, but concentrated concert experiences.

Panzerhalle and Tübingen
The Panzerhalle Tübingen is a former industrial hall that has been converted into a concert venue in recent years. The atmosphere is industrial-raw yet acoustically optimized — an ideal stage for brass and pop. The university city of Tübingen, with around 90,000 inhabitants, is located in the Tübingen district in Baden-Württemberg, at the transition from the Swabian Jura to the Neckar valley. The famous old town with punting tours on the Neckar, the Hölderlinturm, and the Eberhard Karls University (one of the oldest in Germany) makes Tübingen one of the most attractive small festival locations in southern Germany.
