DIY Punk Festival at Burgermühlweiher in Wunsiedel — Free Entry and Camping
The Wunstock Festival in Wunsiedel in the Fichtelgebirge (Upper Franconia, Bavaria) is one of Germany's oldest and most consistent DIY festivals. Founded in 1992 by Wunstock e.V., a volunteer association of around 50 members today, the festival has operated for over three decades on the same principles: no profit, no sponsors, no VIP areas. Free entry, free camping, financing exclusively through donations — the organizers estimate annual costs of around 17,000 Euros.
Wunsiedel is the district town of the Wunsiedel im Fichtelgebirge district, in the extreme northeast of Bavaria, near the Czech border. The festival grounds at Burgermühlweiher offer a small, intimate festival atmosphere, nestled in the low mountain landscape of the Fichtelgebirge. The nearby youth hostel in Wunsiedel is a popular alternative to festival camping.
Wunstock e.V. also organizes smaller concerts throughout the year and participates in local cultural initiatives in Wunsiedel. The volunteer structure and the donation principle make the festival a true counter-model to the commercial festival industry.
The 34th edition of the Wunstock Festival remains true to its founding principles: volunteer-run, non-commercial, with free entry and free camping. The organizer, Wunstock e.V., has released the 2026 lineup in several parts; a final slot for Saturday afternoon in the tent was still open at the time of the last update.
The festival takes place as always at the Burgermühlweiher festival grounds in Wunsiedel, in the Fichtelgebirge region of Upper Franconia. A large tent provides shelter from the weather, vegan and vegetarian food is available, and the grounds are accessible.
As of the last announcement, the organizers were still looking for a band for Saturday afternoon in the tent. Latest updates on wunstock.de and the Wunstock e.V. Facebook page.
