About OpenStage Peine

With OpenStage Peine, Peine Marketing GmbH brings live music to the town centre on selected Saturdays from May to October. For the duration of the series, the historic market square is transformed into a summery urban oasis with deckchairs, lounge furniture, umbrellas and a small stage. Local and regional bands from the rock, jazz, pop, folk and singer/songwriter genres play free of charge before a family audience, day visitors and town centre strollers. OpenStage is a central building block of the summer event season, enlivens the town centre and turns the market square into a meeting place for all generations.

A stage in the middle of the town centre

Peine's historic market square, with its distinctive town hall and historic buildings, is one of the finest squares in the district. It is precisely here that Peine Marketing GmbH sets up its small concert stage as part of OpenStage. It is complemented by an urban furniture concept of deckchairs, lounge sofas, seating cubes and parasols, which transforms the square into a relaxed summer lounge on event days.

Free admission – music for all

The concerts are accessible free of charge without exception. Anyone strolling through the town centre stops, sits down, orders something at the nearby cafés or restaurants and listens. It is precisely this uncomplicated format that has made OpenStage so popular with residents.

Musical styles

  • Rock and pop classics
  • Jazz and swing
  • Folk and singer/songwriter
  • Acoustic accents and small line-ups

Programming is done with an eye for regional talent: bands from Peine, Braunschweig, Hanover and the surrounding area regularly get the chance to play before an open-minded audience.

City marketing with impact

OpenStage is part of a comprehensive town centre strategy by Peine Marketing GmbH. The aim is to enhance the quality of stay in the pedestrian zone, create new occasions for visiting the town centre and revitalise hospitality and retail. The series thus fits into a nationwide movement to once again stage mid-sized towns as lively meeting places through cultural formats.

OpenStage Peine — edition 2026

The full programme is published continuously in the event calendar of Peine erleben.
