International Street Music Festival Ludwigsburg 2026

20th Anniversary 2025

The 2025 edition marked the 20th anniversary of the International Street Music Festival and, simultaneously, the last performance in the classic city center format. Over two festival days, around 40 bands and solo artists from all over the world performed on the squares and alleys of Ludwigsburg's city center — from singer-songwriter to rock and pop, to Latin and hip-hop.

The festival days marked the conclusion of a concept that had shaped the festival for two decades: street music in a Baroque city, with the palace as a backdrop and the pedestrian zone as the main stage. In 2026, the format will completely move to the Blühendes Barock — the 2025 edition remained a historic moment in this regard.
