Oh Weiher Open Air Festival Eschenbach

Festival by the Lake

The Oh Weiher Open Air is a two-day open-air festival held at the Rußweiher near Eschenbach in the Oberpfalz region. The festival grounds are located directly on the water, creating an extraordinary atmosphere that distinguishes the festival from typical city festival open-airs. The event is organized by the Eschenbach city association with support from several local sponsors.

Mystery6 and Die Troglauers

Musically, the festival focuses on a mix of a cover band and a "Krachacker" (noise-maker) headliner. Mystery6 – a well-known cover and party band in the Oberpfalz – kicks off the festival Friday with a show program of rock, pop, and Schlager classics. The headliner slot on Friday is taken by Die Troglauers, a Bavarian "Krachacker" band from nearby Troglau (Tirschenreuth district), which enjoys cult status regionally for its dialect-rich rock songs and earthy humor.

Cuddle Toy Day on Saturday

Saturday is dedicated to family: During the "Cuddle Toy Day," the festival grounds are made child-friendly, with programs centered around cuddly toys, bouncy castles, games, and family activities. Admission on the Saturday family day is significantly lower than the price for the festival Friday.
