Kurpark Concerts Bad Bentheim (Season 2026)

Sunday Concert Series in the Spa Park Bandstand

The bandstand in Bad Bentheim's spa park is a charming open-air stage that serves as the venue for live music every Sunday during the summer season. This tradition dates back decades and is a firm fixture in the event calendar of the spa town of Bad Bentheim.

Season May to October

The concert season runs from May to approximately October. In 2026, it begins on May 18th and features a concert every Sunday from 3 PM to 5 PM throughout the summer months. This amounts to around 18 concerts plus two performances by sea shanty choirs.

Bigband Exposure from Hengelo to Open the Season

In 2026, the season opener will be performed by Bigband Exposure from Hengelo (Netherlands). The cross-border programming is a hallmark of the series: ensembles from the Netherlands, Münsterland, Emsland, and the Grafschaft Bentheim region perform together in Bad Bentheim.

Variety of Styles

Throughout the season, you can enjoy big bands, brass bands, trombone choirs, music associations, sea shanty choirs, and acoustic sets. The diversity of styles makes the series appealing to various generations and turns it into a popular Sunday meeting point in the spa park.

VKV Verkehrs- und Kulturverein

The VKV Verkehrs- und Kulturverein Bad Bentheim is behind the series, coordinating and organising the concerts on a voluntary basis. Their commitment makes the series an example of successful city cultural marketing in a spa town.
