Bayern 1 Summer of Music Festival 2026: Straubing becomes a large open-air stage
On Friday, September 11, 2026, the fairground Am Hagen in Straubing will transform into a free festival experience with a great radio atmosphere, strong live acts, and a real sense of community. The Bayern 1 Summer of Music Festival brings together music for all generations and focuses on sing-along moments, nostalgia, and a palpable party mood under the open sky.
An evening that sounds like late summer and festival magic
The stage at Hagen will become a meeting zone for fans of pop classics, 90s cult hits, and captivating live shows. The spotlight will be on ABBAMANIA, Dr. Alban, and Haddaway, as well as the Bayern 1 band and Bayern 1 DJ Jürgen Kaul. This is the mix that constitutes a good multi-day experience in a small way: familiar hits, strong voices, big choruses, and that special festival atmosphere that makes daily life fade away from the very first song.
Organizer, tradition, and clear signature
Behind the festival is the Bavarian Broadcasting Corporation, specifically BRmedia as the organizer. The format has been one of the fixed BR events in Bavaria for years and stands for an audience that gathers not only for the music but also for the community. In Straubing, the BR focuses on an open, family-friendly concept with free entry, a wide musical range, and an event style based on reliability and recognizability.
Festival grounds, arrival, and practical tips
The fairground Am Hagen is located at the Gäubodenvolksfestplatz in 94315 Straubing. Admission begins according to BR at 4:00 PM, the program starts at 5:00 PM and ends at 11:30 PM. On-site, there are bicycle parking spaces in the eastern and northern part of the Hagen. A shuttle service is also planned, and the city of Straubing connects the area via bus routes. The BR explicitly recommends alternatives to the car for getting there.
Free, but well planned
The Bayern 1 Summer of Music Festival is free and does not require tickets. At the same time, good preparation is advisable: bring cash, plan your arrival early, and pay attention to current traffic notices. Those traveling with a motorhome should inquire in advance at the tourist information about available parking spaces in Straubing. Camping directly on the festival grounds is not officially offered.
Why it's worth visiting
This festival combines radio culture with real open-air energy. The large stage, the intergenerational line-up, free participation, and the strong BR signature make this event one of the most emotional late summer dates in Lower Bavaria. Anyone looking for sing-along hits, live shows, and festival atmosphere under the open sky should definitely plan for September 11, 2026, and experience the Summer of Music Festival in Straubing live.
