KWP Festival Göttingen

Location in the Stadtwald

The Kaiser-Wilhelm-Park on the edge of the Göttinger Stadtwald has long been a popular venue for open-air concerts. The location between the city and the forest, the natural atmosphere, and the acoustic qualities of an open-air stage under old trees make the festival a special experience. Anyone who has already attended a KWP concert knows the typical atmosphere of a festival night in the forest, with the sound of leaves in the background and the stage lights shining through the trees.

Lineup Friday, August 14, 2026

Friday opens the festival with an indie-pop-oriented program. Paula Carolina, a promising singer-songwriter voice of the younger generation, and Raum27, an established indie band with a distinct profile, will shape the opening evening.

Lineup Saturday, August 15, 2026

Saturday brings the international headliners. Blues Pills from Sweden are considered one of the most renowned blues-rock bands of the last decade. Young Gun Silver Fox is a British-American duo with a yacht-rock sound, gaining international attention for their very distinctive sonic aesthetic. Delta Constellations bring indie-rock to the stage. Local Heroes complete the lineup with regional roots.

The ticket structure is student-friendly. Day tickets cost 35 Euros regularly and 27 Euros reduced. Those who want to attend both days can purchase the combo ticket for 60 Euros. Students benefit from a reduced price of 15 Euros. This clearly positions the festival within the student milieu of the university city of Göttingen.

Arrival with Free Shuttle

A free shuttle bus from 6:15 PM will take the audience from Göttingen Central Station to the venue in the Stadtwald. This makes traveling by train uncomplicated and eliminates the need for a car. The concept contributes to traffic relief and fits the sustainable character of the festival.
