Open Air Sommer Heidelberg 2025
The inaugural edition of Open Air Sommer Heidelberg took place in 2025 in the Heidelgarten — as a pilot project by Semmel Concerts Entertainment, one of Germany's largest concert promoters. The format combined popular acts from Folk-Brass, Dance, and German Pop and established itself as a new festival date in Heidelberg's summer event calendar.
The positive reception led to an expansion in 2026 with three clearly genre-separated festival days. With LaBrassBanda, TOPIC, KLINGANDE, and Pietro Lombardi, the young format will feature significantly bigger names in 2026 — making Heidelberg a growing festival destination in the Rhine-Neckar region.
