Music is celebrated in the middle of Darmstadt, bringing together the entire musical diversity in the heart of the city. In addition to promoting the talents of acts from all over Germany, the Schlossgrabenfest has always been a platform for the regional band scene and local music heroes. Bands from Darmstadt and the region make up 50% of the program and 80% of all bands play their own music. Every year, however, the festival also looks forward to welcoming one or two nationally known headliners. So you can once again look forward to a mix of newcomers and top acts.
Celebrating a music festival in the middle of the city is unique in this form in Germany!
