Young Music Meets Real Perspectives
The hAMMERsound Festival in Peißenberg is an open-air youth and music festival organized by the Municipal Youth Services of the Weilheim-Schongau District Office (State of Bavaria, Upper Bavaria administrative region). The concept combines live music with career orientation: young people are meant to experience an event made for them while simultaneously getting to know regional employers.
Stage, Band Contest, and Top Acts
Several bands perform on the live stage – including the winners of a preceding band contest as well as established, celebrated top acts. At the premiere in 2018, bands like Under Attic, The Compromise Show, Roadstring Army, Roger Rekless, The Prosecution, and Jamaram played to over 3,000 visitors. Newcomer bands from the region thus get a professional stage alongside well-known names.
More Than a Concert
- Skate and Scooter Contest: between band changes, skaters show off their tricks, and the audience chooses the winners by applause
- Azubi-Meile: over 30 regional training companies present themselves with creative, interactive activities instead of dry information stands
- free admission for everyone, family-friendly grounds
Rooted in the Region
Since its premiere in 2018, hAMMERsound has become a regular fixture for young people in the Weilheim-Schongau district. The event is supported by the Municipal Youth Services and a large team of volunteers from the region.
