From »Rock am Buskreuz« to Tsukahara-Festival
The Tsukahara-Festival was launched in 2002 as »Rock am Buskreuz« — a local open-air event at the Buskreuz in Sailauf. Over two decades, this has evolved into a multi-day festival combining live music on several stages and a mixed volleyball tournament.
Tsukahara Troop and TV 1912 Sailauf
The organizer is the Tsukahara troop, a subgroup of the gymnastics club TV 1912 Sailauf e.V. The troop's name refers to the Japanese gymnast Mitsuo Tsukahara — an ironic nod to the club's gymnastics roots. Today, the Tsukahara troop is a close-knit festival crew that organizes the festival on a voluntary basis.
Volleyball Tournament with »Beer Joker«
A festival tradition is the mixed volleyball tournament on the Friday of the festival. Entry fee €50, includes a »Joker crate of beer« that can be strategically used as a time-out during the tournament. Teams consist of at least 6 players with festival wristbands; a mixed-gender lineup on the court is mandatory. Team meeting at 9:30 AM.
Music on Main and Backstage Stage
The festival features live music on a main stage and a backstage stage (or side stage). Genre spectrum: Rock, Punk, Indie, occasionally electronic acts. The exact lineup for 2026 will be announced by the Tsukahara troop on the festival website shortly before the event.
Sailauf — Spessart Foothills
Sailauf is located in the district of Aschaffenburg (AGS 09671), at the transition between the Spessart and Untermain regions. With around 3,000 inhabitants, the municipality in the Bavarian-Aschaffenburg area is a small but culturally active village. The festival on Rottenberger Straße has been a firm fixture in the region's summer calendar for years.
Tsukahara-Festival — edition 2026
The Tsukahara-Festival 2026 spans two festival days, July 4 and 5, on the festival grounds on Rottenberger Straße in Sailauf. The Festival Friday program begins in the morning with the mixed volleyball tournament (team meeting at 9:30 AM), and in the evening, the action moves to the festival stages.
On Festival Saturday, the program focuses exclusively on live music with acts on the main stage and the backstage stage. Genre spectrum: Rock, Punk, Indie, occasionally electronic acts. The exact lineup for 2026 will be announced by the Tsukahara troop on the festival website www.tsukahara-festival.de a few months before the festival.
