Open-air concerts

Open-air concerts

Music under the open sky, warm summer evenings, a picnic blanket instead of rows of seats – open-air concerts have a lightness of their own. Together you arrive earlier and claim the best spot.

Music under the open sky

An open-air concert has a lightness no indoor venue can offer: warm summer evenings, the sun going down behind the stage, a picnic blanket instead of rows of seats. The music mixes with the warm air and the feeling of being on holiday. That particular atmosphere makes open-airs summer highlights you remember for years.

Better together

In a group an open-air really comes into its own. You arrive earlier, claim the best spot together, share the food and the blanket. While some queue, the others hold the places. And when the song you have been waiting for arrives, the spark jumps further in a group. Evenings like that create lasting bonds.

Enjoying it well prepared

A little planning stops the day turning. Weatherproof clothing in case it cools down or drizzles in the evening, a blanket or a small folding stool, enough to drink. Sun protection for the daytime, a power bank for your phone. Think of those small things and you can enjoy the whole day in comfort, from the sound check to the encore.

Well prepared for the open air

Open-air evenings stand and fall with preparation: a blanket or folding chair, one layer more than the forecast suggests, and arriving early enough to pick a good spot calmly instead of searching in the dark. With free admission, the rule of thumb is: the better known the act, the earlier the space fills. Groups should agree a recognisable meeting point at the edge – in a growing crowd you will not find each other otherwise.

Tips for getting started

  • Come early and claim a good spot together with a blanket.
  • Pack weatherproof clothing – evenings often turn cool or wet.
  • Remember sun protection for the daytime and enough to drink.
  • A power bank rescues your phone across a long day.

Frequently asked questions

What should I bring to an open-air concert?

A blanket, weatherproof clothing, sun protection, enough to drink and a power bank. That covers you for sunshine and for cool evenings alike.

Is it worth arriving early?

Yes. Get there early and you claim the best spot and can spend the day comfortably with your group, rather than pushing through the crowd later.

What can I bring to open-air concerts?

Every organiser sets their own rules: blankets are almost always fine, glass bottles and own drinks often not. A quick look at the event page before packing saves discussions at the entrance.
