Lokpark Open Airs – Sportfreunde Stiller

Sportfreunde Stiller — Indie Rock from Munich

Founded in Munich in 1996, Sportfreunde Stiller have become an integral part of the German-speaking indie-rock scene. With over ten studio albums and hits like “Ein Kompliment,” “Wir werden große Helden sein,” “Applaus, Applaus,” and many others, they have built a loyal fan base spanning multiple generations. Their sound combines catchy melodies with honest, often melancholic-yet-cheerful lyrics and a live energy that electrifies any venue, be it an arena or an open-air stage.

Lokpark — Industrial Scenery for Open Airs

For years, Lokpark Braunschweig has been one of North Germany's most charming open-air venues. The former locomotive repair shop offers a unique industrial backdrop that harmonizes perfectly with the riffs of an indie-rock band. Brick architecture, old halls, and the spacious courtyard create an atmosphere distinct from large festival fields — more direct, more urban, more raw.

Opening of Lokpark Open Airs 2026

The Sportfreunde Stiller concert on May 29, 2026, kicks off the Lokpark Open Airs 2026, a concert series that will also feature Royal Republic (May 30), Nena (June 4), and Madsen (June 6) on stage this summer. The Open Airs are among the most important musical events of the summer in Braunschweig.

High Demand, Fast Pre-Sale

Months before the concert, over half the tickets were already sold out — demand for Sportfreunde Stiller remains unbroken. Those who want to experience the concert should quickly secure tickets through official sales points. Lokpark has a limited capacity, making the concerts more intimate experiences than the band's large stadium tours.
