Four-day benefit open-air with Kamrad, Jan Delay, Clueso and 15 bands overlooking the Heilbronn region
Haigern is a ridge between the Heilbronn municipalities of Talheim and Flein, with a wide view over Franconian Württemberg, the Heuchelberg, and the vineyards of the Neckar valley. For years, the Förderverein Kinderfreizeit Haigern e.V. has hosted the benefit open-air of the same name here — a festival whose entire proceeds fund children's leisure activities at Haigern. 2026 brings an important innovation: for the first time, the festival will start on a Thursday, expanding it to four festival days. Over 40 hours of live music with 15 bands and artists spread across four evenings, attracting thousands of visitors daily from the Heilbronn and Stuttgart regions.
The musical pinnacle of the 2026 festival speaks for itself: Kamrad, the German pop singer-songwriter and multi-platinum artist ('So Long', 'Sad to See You Happy'), brings his warm, melodic pop to Heilbronn. Jan Delay, the Hamburg-based soul/reggae/funk artist ('Klar', 'Oh Jonny'), performs with his live band Disko No. 1 — one of the best German live acts of the last 20 years. Clueso, the singer-songwriter from Erfurt with the unmistakable voice ('Zu schnell vorbei', 'Achterbahn'), completes the headliner trio. Three acts that, individually, would justify their own festival tour.
Alongside the headliners, Haigern Live! focuses on talent promotion: Grungetime brings 90s alternative rock energy to Haigern, Yosu offers German pop, Franzi and Sammy Milo represent young German singer-songwriters, Mille with indie-pop hits, and die Weichhölzer as a regional insider tip. The booking concept is clear: headliners with national appeal, rising stars from the top league, and regional talents — a pyramid that combines diversity and identity.
Sunday is Stimme-Family-Day: free admission, a comprehensive children's and supporting program for participation and amazement, a climbing wall, game stations, and craft activities. This is more than marketing — it's a mission: the Förderverein Kinderfreizeit Haigern wants to show local families what is actually supported with the festival proceeds. In the evening, fireworks will conclude the four-day spectacle — an emotional closing that shapes the festival as a family experience.
The Haigern Live!
