About Fiebig Open Air

The Fiebig Open Air Festival 2026 is the musical highlight of the Schöningen summer calendar in the rock and metal genre. On Saturday, July 18, 2026, the approximately 1,500 m² Fiebig grounds at Grasmühle 5 will be transformed into an open-air stage with a top-class lineup: Kupfergold (Hardrock), Lacrimas Profundere (Gothic Rock/Metal), Dezperadoz (Western Metal), Nitrogods (Hardrock), Mysterica (Symphonic Metal), and Valid Blue (Indie/Alternative). The program combines Pop, Punk, Rock, Hardrock, and Metal on one festival day. Admission 4 PM, entry €18. The festival is the peak of the Schöningen rock scene and serves as a meeting point for music fans from the Helmstedt district, southern Lower Saxony, and western Saxony-Anhalt. Tickets available at fiebig-open-air.de/tickets.

The Fiebig Grounds

The festival takes place on an approximately 1,500 m² industrial site at Grasmühle 5 in the industrial area of Schöningen. The industrial architecture provides an authentically raw setting for a rock and metal festival, fitting the day's musical profile.

Lacrimas Profundere

With Lacrimas Profundere, the festival brings one of Germany's most established gothic rock bands to Schöningen. Since the 1990s, the Munich-based band has been known for dark, melancholic anthems and a charismatic stage presence.

Dezperadoz and Nitrogods

Dezperadoz from Bochum are pioneers of "Western Metal," blending classic heavy metal with Western sounds and cowboy aesthetics. Nitrogods, a German hard rock supergroup featuring Henny Wolter (Primal Fear, Sinner), deliver straightforward hard rock in the style of the late 70s and early 80s.

Kupfergold and Mysterica

Kupfergold offers modern German hard rock anthems, while Mysterica represents symphonic-influenced metal with female vocals. Both bands contribute to the festival's broad musical spectrum.

Valid Blue

Valid Blue complements the lineup with an alternative indie sound, providing a contrasting element to the heavier program. The festival thus unites diverse tastes under one roof.

Schöningen as a Rock Location

That a town like Schöningen (around 11,000 inhabitants) can host its own open-air festival with national acts is a testament to the local organizers and a loyal community. The Fiebig Open Air exemplifies how volunteer engagement and industrial sites can create their own festival culture.

Warm-Up on the Eve

On the eve of the festival (July 17, 2026), the grounds will open for the Fiebig Open Air Schlager Party – a deliberate contrast evening featuring Schlager cover artist Caro and DJ Nachtpilot. Those attending both evenings will experience two very different musical events.
