Munich – Olympic Park. Holidays and "Summer in the City" are never dull in Munich: the festival grounds are a major draw in fine weather, and the weekend of August 21–23 offers a final chance to truly relax, write poetry, and get active. Activities include workshops, workouts, HIIT, core training, running, recovery sessions, yoga, and "Cathylates" with Cathy Hummels on August 22. There is a wide selection of food stalls and a fantastic range of offerings along the "Budenstraße" (market stall lane). Things get truly poetic on August 21—"Poet's Day"—which sets no limits on the creativity of the spoken and written word: listen to poetry slams and try your hand at poetry and writing workshops. The Summer Festival is open Mondays through Thursdays from 12:00 PM to 11:00 PM, and Fridays through Sundays from 11:00 AM to 11:00 PM. The festival is musically enhanced by the Theatron Music Summer event at the Olympic Park. This music festival also runs until August 22, featuring great sounds from the lakeside stage. View the full program on the event website: theatron.net - "Bar du Soleil," amusement rides, and food stalls ...

“For me, the Summer Festival is simply an essential part of summer in Munich. That is why I am once again delighted to serve as patron this year. It is a wonderful opportunity—especially for families—to enjoy the holidays together, featuring creative hands-on activities, plenty of fun, and the unique atmosphere of the Olympic Park. The fact that the festival is free to enter makes it a special offering for everyone,” says Mayor Verena Dietl.


Olympic Park CEO Marion Schöne explains: “A stroll through the Summer Festival means immersing yourself in new worlds of experience—time and time again. For 24 days, from morning till night. We place great importance on curating an eventful program for all guests—whether they are locals or visitors to the state capital, young or old, sports enthusiasts or culture lovers—packed with popular classics and, of course, new attractions. And I believe we have succeeded once again, thanks in no small part to our many partners, whom I would like to sincerely thank for their commitment.”

DIE WEITEREN AUSSICHTEN - THE FURTHER PERSPECTIVES

DIE WEITEREN AUSSICHTEN - The further prospects are a shared apartment celebration in concert form:

Dancing to 2000s indie rock in the living room, tears flowing in the kitchen during deep conversations, and at the end, everyone goes home with new friendships and a touch of melancholy.

Musically, the band oscillates between German indie greats like Kettcar and international indie insiders like Frightened Rabbit and We Were Promised Jetpacks. Their single "Die Makrele, die nicht ganz zufrieden war" (The Mackerel, the Not Quite Satisfied War) has been streamed over 40,000 times on Spotify and made it onto the Fresh Finds GSA playlist.

2024 was a defining year: In addition to winning the "Best Lyrics" award at the local heroes national finals, the band participated in the renowned Popkurs Hamburg and was accepted into the top-level development program pop rlp Masterclass. With their combination of authenticity, humor, and musical precision, these future prospects are working on establishing themselves as a fixture in the German indie rock scene.

Pippa

Pippa is a Viennese artist with a knack for poppy, catchy, danceable melodies.
Her signature sound sometimes ventures into the realms of experimental electronics, while at other times giving way to a tranquil instrumental carpet, on which
thoughtful, yet always hopeful lyricism is embedded.

For "Alles Ok," a single from her successful third studio album "Blick,"
Pippa was nominated for the 2024 Austrian Amadeus Music Award for Best Songwriter.

Pippa's fourth studio album, "Träume auf Zement," was released on March 28, 2025. It includes the line "Curiosity is a strange animal. It eats from your hand and then vomits on you."

Kapa Tult

"Here's another recommendation for all fans of German-language superhits. Do you already know Kapa Tult?" - Linus Volkmann, Musikexpress

In their indie hit "½ Cappucino," Kapa Tult sing "Come on, let's go on tour" - and that's exactly
what they're doing now.

A Kapa Tult concert is like:

A date that starts off romantically, but somehow not much more happens than eating cake. Standing in the schoolyard and wondering, "Why are everyone one of the cool kids, and I'm always just standing there?" Running into walls and despairing because, "I want to change everything, I just don't know how." The good news: Other people seem to feel the same way.

“Kapa Tult hail from Leipzig, their punky indie pop is defined by a lo-fi aesthetic, and the lyrics are especially powerful: diary-like, they sing about fears, insecurities, complicated and simple relationships. And, quite explicitly, about sex. Overarching throughout is a relaxed, natural feminist attitude.” Martin Böttcher, Tagesspiegel

“Finally, clear statements are being made, a close and honest look is being taken at what is really there and lying around in the lives of women in their 20s and 30s. Toxic relationships with assholes (“PleasePleasePlease”), ambiguous enthusiasm about certain talents of an ex-boyfriend (“Fuck you”), or even great platonic relationships that work (“I have a friend I know from a party”). Confident and incredibly funny.” ... Kapa Tult is “power pop including rock freakouts, where fun and feminism embrace each other.” (Rebecca Spilker, Musikexpress)
