Festivals near Munich

Beneath the great tent of the Olympiapark, Munich has turned the legacy of the 1972 Games into festival ground. Superbloom Festival unfolds its pop and hip-hop bills at the foot of the Olympic hill, while the Tollwood Summer Festival, the city's ecological and cultural institution, blends world music, songwriting and socially minded stages in a Bavarian-market atmosphere. Here a show is as much about the setting as the sound: meadows, biergartens and marquees stretching to the horizon.

On the beats side, Bavaria nurtures a genuine open-air club culture: Echelon gathers techno and house crowds out in the Munich countryside, while Free & Easy Festival flies the flag for indie, rock and alternative sounds in the heart of town. Between electronic open airs and multicultural big tops, Munich covers every angle. FestT computes your FestiScore, the affinity between each lineup and your favourite artists, and keeps dates and ticketing current all season long.
