On September 5, 2025, Wetzlarer Platz in Ilmenau will once again be transformed into a lively festival site – at the AUFMUCKEN Open Air 2025. Music. Together. Joie de vivre. you can expect a late summer evening full of live music, good conversation, encounters and cold drinks. Being outside together, listening, dancing and simply enjoying the moment – that’s what this special event in the middle of Ilmenau is all about.
the acoustic punk duo from Düsseldorf – brings sensitive, poetic lyrics, political bite and a humorous stage presence to the stage. Their sound oscillates between singer-songwriter and German punk – honest, direct, moving.
Singer-songwriter and climate activist from Nuremberg – combines critical poetry with powerful music. His songs address the climate crisis, social justice and social change, including titles such as Tischlein deck dich and Der wahre Preis. With his albums Augen auf and Aufgaben und Taten, he calls for a rethink and action. His music moves, infuriates – and gives hope.
the punk rock band from Ilmenau – combines raw energy with a clear political stance. With their sound between punk, grunge and rock, they make a loud statement against indifference and right-wing structures. Whether on small stages or in pubs – their live shows are direct, honest and full of anger and humor.
From quiet nuances to powerful protest – the line-up stands for musical diversity and a clear message: music connects.
