Live Music Extravaganza at the Wehr: Multiple bands entertain the gun range with robust performances
The Rock am Wehr music festival, a staple in the local music scene of Schwarzenau, is gearing up for its 10th anniversary this August. This lively, loud, and legendary event has been a fixture in Schwarzenau's cultural calendar since its inception in 2015[5][1].
Taking place at the Schützenplatz from August 8 to 9, the festival promises a diverse lineup of bands spanning multiple genres, including rock, metal, and punk[2][3]. This year's event features eleven bands, including established acts such as The Broxters, Delirium, S-Pistols, and Schameder, as well as up-and-coming bands like the opening act from the Johannes-Althusius-Gymnasium[2][3][4].
At its core, Rock am Wehr is a community-driven festival that aims to avoid commercialism and foster a space for friends and good music[1]. Admission to the event is free, and visitors are encouraged to donate an amount of their choice to support social projects in the region[1].
One of the festival's long-standing supporters is the band The Broxters, who will be performing for the sixth time at Rock am Wehr on Saturday night at 9 pm[6]. Bodo Acker, guitarist and singer of The Broxters, describes the event as "great with great people and lots of fun." The band Delirium, who played at the first Rock am Wehr and have returned for this special anniversary, will perform again on Friday night at 11 pm[7].
The Broxters appreciate the charitable nature of Rock am Wehr and have developed a close friendship with the organizing team[8]. Many other musicians have followed suit, drawn to the festival's commitment to supporting local music and social causes.
This year's festival motto, "A Decade of Madness - A Decade of Insanity," reflects the festival's spirit of fun and excitement[9]. For more information about the bands and the festival, visitors can visit the Rock am Wehr website or Instagram[10].
As Rock am Wehr approaches its 10th anniversary, it remains a shining example of grassroots music culture in this part of Germany, bringing together music lovers, bands, and the community annually for a rock music celebration[1][2][5].
