Summer open-air concert series directly on the Weser
When the days are longest in July, Bremen has its own summer hotspot: the Seebühne directly on the Weser river. Here, the music plays against a backdrop that no other concert venue in Northern Germany can offer – with the river as a natural projection screen and the vast sky of Bremen's west as its roof. In 2026, the Seebühne begins its sixth season, running for five and a half weeks, from July 17th to August 23rd.
The programme in 2026 remains remarkably diverse: The Jacksons bring Motown glamour to the Weser, NENA and Alphaville revive the 80s, Gregory Porter provides elegant vocal jazz, Beth Hart delivers blues-rock with passion, and David Garrett blends classical music with crossover. The line-up is complemented by tribute shows such as Pink Floyd, Phil Collins/Genesis, or ABBA Gold, as well as theatre ('Jedermann'), comedy, and classical crossover ('Philharmonic Rock').
The Seebühne is more than just a stage – it's a summer ritual for Bremen's residents and visitors. Before and after the concerts, you can stroll along the Weser embankment, visit nearby eateries, and enjoy the maritime flair of the Hanseatic city. Its location is a tribute to Bremen's Hanseatic identity: those experiencing concerts here are essentially sitting with their feet by the water. The Seebühne is organised by MTB Betriebs GmbH, which has been filling a gap in the Northern German open-air calendar with this project since 2021.
Tickets are exclusively available through Nordwest-Ticket and the Seebühne website. Prices vary greatly depending on the artist – from around 50 Euros for tribute shows to significantly three-digit amounts for the major headliners. Travel by tram is possible; parking spaces are limited, so organisers recommend public transport or cycling.
The 2026 season kicks off on July 17th and concludes on August 23rd. In July, artists including Madsen, The Jacksons, Gregory Porter, a Hans Zimmer tribute, Nino de Angelo, Schiller, a Phil Collins/Genesis tribute, Tobi Krell, Roxette, Beth Hart, a Pink Floyd tribute, and Alphaville will grace the stage.
August brings Highland Saga, Poetry Slam, Gregor Meyle, the play 'Jedermann', Nouvelle Vague, Clueso, Mono Inc., Boney M., The BossHoss, David Garrett, Johnny Logan, Ben Zucker, Dick Brave, OMD, The Dark Tenor, Philharmonic Rock, Emilíana Torrini, ABBA Gold, and closing the season, NENA.
