Three Weekends of Live Music in the Heart of the City
Lippstadt Open Air is the cultural highlight of the Lippstadt summer: Three weekends, six concert evenings, ten bands, all on the central Rathausplatz. The organizer is Kultur in Lippstadt e.V., which conceived the festival as a "free and outdoors" format, offering an accessible open-air stage for regional and national acts.
Six Evenings, Two Stages, Ten Bands
The concerts take place over three weekends in August (7th/8th, 14th/15th, 21st/22nd), each Friday and Saturday starting at 7:15 PM — with a special opening act at 7:00 PM on the opening Friday, August 7th. Bands alternate on two stages along the Rathausplatz, keeping breaks short and the atmosphere consistent.
Accompanying Program: Pop-Up Record Store, Charity Flea Market, Silent Disco
The festival is more than just live music: A Pop-Up Record Store is open Fridays 5:00 PM–10:00 PM and Saturdays 3:00 PM–10:00 PM, offering vinyl, CDs, and festival merchandise. On August 15th, a charity flea market for UNICEF will be held. To conclude the festival on August 22nd, Deniz & Ove will perform, an "indie band for children and parents," followed by a Silent Disco with three channels and six DJs.
