11 Years of Open Air at Gut Sandbeck

What began as a small open air in 2016 has developed over eleven editions into an established blues and rock festival in the Bremen region. The spacious courtyard of Gut Sandbeck forms the natural amphitheater for the festival. A professional stage, well-maintained sound system, and a dedicated organizing team have earned the festival an excellent reputation in the scene.

Sound Culture Instead of Mass Format

Unlike commercial large festivals, the Gut Sandbeck Open Air focuses on a careful selection of artists and a manageable, concentrated audience. The program combines international blues and rock stars with regional acts from Northern Germany. The familiar atmosphere and the proximity to the artists are particularly appreciated by the audience.

Tickets, Travel, and Catering

The festival is held over two days: Friday evening with opening and a series of sets, Saturday from the afternoon with an extensive program. Day tickets and festival passes are sold through the festival website and cooperating ticket outlets.
