Rock festival in the western Thuringian hills

The Rock DieVillage festival is an open-air rock festival in the small municipality of Dermbach on the edge of the Rhön. Unlike large commercial festivals, the focus here is on the "village atmosphere" — a festival that aims to combine living village culture with live music, bringing together regional bands and supra-regional acts for a summer celebration of a special kind.

Two festival days of rock and guitar

The festival runs for two days on August 21 and 22, 2026 — the typical August summer date when the weather in West Thuringia is reliably warm and dry. Rock and guitar bands from Thuringia and the wider region will be on stage — the exact lineup will be published before the festival via the festival website and the Festival Hopper lists.

Dermbach in the Wartburg district on the edge of the Rhön

The municipality of Dermbach is located in the Wartburg district in the state of Thuringia, at the transition between the western Thuringian Forest and the Rhön. The region is scenically attractive, with hills, small villages, and hiking trails. The Rhön is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve — those arriving for the festival can easily combine the festival days with a hike in the Rhön highlands (Wasserkuppe, Hohe Rhön).

Village culture and festival culture

Rock DieVillage sees itself as a counter-model to the large commercial festivals — no mass audience, but a cultivated village atmosphere with live music. This form of festival making has a growing tradition in Thuringia: in village settings, supported by volunteer associations, and with a strong connection to the local community.
