Einfach Kultur

Einfach Kultur is one of Oldenburg's most atmospherically unusual summer festivals. Instead of a stage in the city center, the festival chooses Gleispark in the Kreyenbrück district – a former railway area that has been developed into an urban cultural space. Rail remnants, industrial architecture, and an open landscape design form the backdrop for the open-air concerts.

Gleispark as a Festival Location

Gleispark Oldenburg is an urban development project in the Kreyenbrück district that culturally and spatially opens up former railway land. With its vast open spaces, urban character, and unique history, it offers a setting that clearly differs from the classic city-center festival format.

Nine Concert Evenings

Over eleven days, the festival spreads out nine concert evenings. Each evening is programmatically distinct – an indie evening can follow a singer-songwriter evening, which in turn is succeeded by an electronic set. Local acts from Oldenburg and the Northwest stand alongside regional and national bands.

Comedy Night

A dedicated comedy night complements the concert program. Stand-up comedians and cabaret artists perform on the open-air stage in Gleispark – a program combination that broadens the festival's appeal and attracts new audiences.

All-Day Ticket

In addition to single tickets, the festival offers an all-day ticket that provides discounted access to all evenings. This positions Einfach Kultur as a festival experience that can be revisited throughout the eleven days.

Atmosphere and Concept

The mix of industrial wasteland, open landscape, and curated music program makes Einfach Kultur a festival with a distinct mood. Those who want to experience summer in Oldenburg beyond the Schlossplatz will find an alternative offering with character here.
