  • 07/09/2022KLANGfest 2022 am 11. September ab 13:00 Uhr im Werksviertel am OstbahnhofNach zwei Jahren Corona-Pause kann im September 2022 nun endlich die lang erwartete 11. Ausgabe des KLANGfest stattfinden. Dabei gilt es nicht nur die Entwicklungen und musikalischen Entdeckungen von zwei Jahren Pandemie aufzuarbeiten, sondern sich auch auf neue, lokale Gegebenheiten einzustellen.

    Denn nach Jahren im Gasteig findet das KLANGfest nun erstmals im Werksviertel am Ostbahnhof statt. Das bewährte Konzept bleibt – zum Glück! – auch nach zwei Jahren Pause unverändert: Vier Bühnen, auf denen sich 32 Bands der unterschiedlichsten Stilrichtungen vor Musikfreund*innen und Branchenkenner*innen präsentieren können. Der freie Eintritt ermöglicht besonders vielen Besucher*innen, die gesamte musikalische Vielfalt und Qualität der süddeutschen, unabhängigen Musikunternehmer*innen und ihrer Künstler*innen zu erleben. Die Bandbreite reicht wie immer von Jazz, Rock, Pop bis hin zu Ska, Techno und musikalischem Kinderprogramm – für jede und jeden ist sicher etwas dabei.

    Dahinter steht, wie gewohnt, die Regionalgruppe Süd des Verbandes unabhängiger Musikunternehmer*innen e.V. (VUT), die das beliebte und besucherstarke Festival mit ihrer großen Kompetenz in Kooperation mit dem Kulturreferat der Landeshauptstadt München veranstalten und präsentieren.
