Wilhelmshaven Open Air — Wincent Weiss

Wincent Weiss at Sportforum

For years, Wincent Weiss has been one of the defining voices of German-language pop. With songs like “Frische Luft”, “An Wunder”, and “Musik sein”, he has built a loyal fan base across all generations. His performance at the festival grounds at Sportforum in Wilhelmshaven on September 5, 2026, is part of the new open-air series that the Pumpwerk cultural center is establishing on the new festival grounds. As a former sports facility, the Sportforum offers an open atmosphere with enough space for several thousand visitors.

Successor to the Pumpwerk Open Airs

The new festival grounds at Sportforum are the successor to the traditional Pumpwerk Open Airs, which shaped the cultural center's summer program for years. The larger area allows for booking renowned acts with large fan bases while simultaneously offering a pleasant concert experience without feeling cramped. The stage, sound system, and lighting are adapted to professional festival standards.

Tom Twers and Raum 27 in the Supporting Acts

Tom Twers and Raum 27 — two up-and-coming acts on the German pop scene — will perform in the supporting acts. The evening thus offers three concerts for the price of one and provides a cross-section of current pop music from Germany. Admission from 5 or 6 PM, the main show begins late in the evening. An open-air experience with the atmosphere of Wilhelmshaven's North Sea air.
