Open Air for Free on the Jahnwiese
The Wild Tunes Festival is one of Bamberg's younger, but most likeable summer events. The non-profit association Bamberger Festivals e.V. organizes the weekend according to the pure "Umsonst & Draußen" principle: free admission, a stage right in the middle of the Jahnwiese on the banks of the Regnitz, and a program curated with love for the scene.
What to Expect
The event mixes regional young bands from the Upper Franconian area with "up-and-coming headliners" from the supra-regional indie, rock, and singer-songwriter scene. The program is deliberately not announced in full beforehand – musical surprises are part of the concept.
More Than Just Music
On Saturday, a second-hand market opens on the festival meadow: around 40 stalls with clothing, vinyl, and vintage finds. Food trucks provide culinary catering, and information stands from regional initiatives complement the offerings. A dedicated poetry slam session brings spoken word to the meadow on Saturday afternoon.
Bamberg, a World Heritage City
The Jahnwiese is located in close proximity to the historic island city and is easily accessible by bike or on foot from Bamberg's city center. The festival thus fits into the rich summer program of the Upper Franconian UNESCO World Heritage city in the Bamberg district.
Wild Tunes Bamberg — edition 2026
The 2026 edition continues the established "Umsonst & Draußen" (Free & Outdoors) concept by Bamberger Festivals e.V. The organizer and main sponsor Sparkasse Bamberg invites you for two days to the open-air stage on the banks of the Regnitz.
In addition to the concerts, Saturday will feature around 40 carefully selected stalls with second-hand clothing and records, its own poetry slam round, as well as food trucks and information stands from regional initiatives.
