Lokpark Open Airs – Madsen

Madsen — three brothers, one sound

Madsen was founded in 2004 in Clenze, Lüneburger Heide, and is one of the most influential bands in the German-language indie-rock scene of the 2000s and 2010s. The three brothers Sebastian (vocals/guitar), Sascha (bass), and Johannes (drums) Madsen — along with band member Niko Maurer (guitar) — have developed a unique sound over seven studio albums: powerful guitars, catchy melodies, German lyrics with political and personal depth.

"Hollywood" — the current album

With the album "Hollywood," the band marks a new direction in their discography. The work combines the band's proven trademarks — unforgettable choruses, resonant lyrics — with a slight expansion of their sound spectrum. The live concert will feature new songs alongside classics from their repertoire — tracks like "Du schreibst Geschichte," "Wenn nichts mehr geht," and "Lass die Musik an" are staples of their live set.

Open-Air at Lokpark

Lokpark Braunschweig, with its industrial backdrop from the former locomotive repair shop, provides the ideal stage for a Madsen concert. The brick halls, the spacious courtyard, and the open atmosphere complement the band's energetic sound. In the summer of 2026, Madsen will close the Lokpark Open Airs — following Sportfreunde Stiller (May 29), Royal Republic (May 30), and Nena (June 4), the Lokpark stage will host this powerhouse of North German indie rock.

A band that fills festivals

Madsen regularly performs at major German festivals — Hurricane, Highfield, Rock am Ring. They know how to connect with and captivate an open-air audience. For the Lokpark audience, the concert promises an intense encounter with one of the most important German-language indie-rock bands of the last two decades.
