Mülheim Summer Open Air — The Ruhr in Concert Mode
When the Ruhr lies in the heat of midsummer between Schloss Broich and the city center in August, the MüGa-Park transforms into one of the most beautiful open-air concert backdrops in the Ruhr area. On August 7th and 8th, 2026, the Mülheim Summer Open Air invites you to two evenings with two different musical worlds.
Friday, August 7th, 2026 — Electronic Friday
Friday is all about electronic music. The headliner is Topic — the German DJ and producer who has garnered millions of streams with tracks like 'Breaking Me' (with A7S) and is one of the most sought-after acts in Germany's electronic scene. Alongside him are LARI LUKE, YouNotUs (a DJ trio with numerous chart hits), and Frank Zappel Klemans. Doors open at 5:00 PM, concert starts in the early evening.
Saturday, August 8th, 2026 — Rock Under the Open Sky
Saturday focuses on country rock and pure energy. The BossHoss — the Berlin-based country-rock sensation that has been packing halls for two decades with cowboy hats, electric guitars, and sweat — brings their hit setlist to Mülheim. Support act: Rebel Tell. Doors open at 6:00 PM.
MüGa-Park — The Former Federal Garden Show as a Concert Stage
The MüGa-Park (Mülheim Garden Show grounds, Am Schloß Broich 28) has been a central green space in Mülheim since the 1992 Federal Garden Show. With the medieval Schloss Broich as a backdrop and the Ruhr riverbank behind it, it offers a rare mix of history, nature, and city. A main stage will be set up for the Summer Open Air, with food trucks, cocktail bars, and ample lounge areas.
Mülheim an der Ruhr — The Smallest Major City in the Ruhr Area
The independent city of Mülheim an der Ruhr is located between Duisburg and Essen at the Rhine-Ruhr transport hub. With around 171,000 inhabitants, it is one of the smaller major cities in the Ruhr area but is strongly connected economically (headquarters of the Aldi Süd group) and culturally. Besides the Theater an der Ruhr, the MüGa-Park is a central cultural venue in the city.
