About CampusOpenAir

The voluntary commitment keeps ticket prices affordable, and the mix of big names, relaxed atmosphere, and student spirit makes the CampusOpenAir a regular event for students and music fans from the entire region.

A Festival by Students for Everyone

The CampusOpenAir has been held in the Hanseatic city of Wismar since 2000 and is one of the largest student music festivals in Northern Germany. It is organized by the General Student Committee (AStA) of the Wismar University of Applied Sciences – entirely on a voluntary basis, by students for students and guests. The venue is the university's campus meadow in the Nordwestmecklenburg district.

Start of the Semester

Traditionally, the CampusOpenAir takes place on the first weekend of the winter semester, marking the festive start to the academic year. The quiet university campus transforms into a festival site for two days with a large stage featuring a program of well-known and regional artists.

Big Names, Small Prices

Over the years, numerous well-known acts have performed on the CampusOpenAir stage, including Jennifer Rostock, MIA., The Donots, The BossHoss, Clueso, Thomas D., K.I.Z., Revolverheld, Bosse, Culcha Candela, and Samy Deluxe. Despite the large stage, admission remains affordable – the non-commercial, voluntary concept of the AStA makes it possible.

Student Atmosphere by the Sea

The mix of contemporary music, a relaxed vibe, and student spirit is what makes the festival so appealing. With its proximity to the Baltic Sea and the Hanseatic city of Wismar, the CampusOpenAir combines festival culture with the maritime flair of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, attracting students and festival fans from across the region.
