Rock for Tolerance Open Air Festival

Ten Years of Festival with a Stance

Rock for Tolerance was founded in 2016 and has consistently positioned itself from the outset against racism, discrimination, and group-based misanthropy – and for an open, tolerant society. This political clarity distinguishes the festival from many other open-air events. It is reflected not only in the festival name but also in the selection of acts, the accompanying program, and collaborations with civil society initiatives.

New Location: Weserpark

With its 10th edition, the festival is moving to a new site: the Weserpark Hann. Münden. The park offers more space, better infrastructure, and – for the first time – its own campsite for visitors. The festival is responding to its growing audience and creating the conditions for a full-fledged two-day festival experience with overnight stays.

Lineup 2026

The acts for the 10th edition cover a broad spectrum. Dritte Wahl is one of Germany's most renowned political punk-rock bands and perfectly aligns with the festival's stance. RAUM27 brings energetic indie-rock. Setyøursails is a German female-fronted metalcore band with international reach. 100 Kilo Herz plays catchy punk-rock. LE FLY brings ska-punk-reggae energy. Watch Out Stampede are metalcore. Focus, SENTA, and Jonny Karacho complete the lineup.

Admission and Tickets

Tickets are available from 19 Euros. A special feature is the free admission for children under 16 and adults over 65. This positions the festival as a cross-generational event and underscores the spirit of tolerance in its ticketing policy.

Hann. Münden as Festival Location

The location at Weserpark in Hann. Münden – at the border between Lower Saxony and Hesse, at the confluence of the Werra and Fulda rivers forming the Weser – creates a geographical link between Northern Germany, Hesse, and the Southern German festival scene. This attracts audiences from several federal states, positioning it as a supra-regional event.
