Theatron MusicSummer

During the 1972 Summer Games, the stage, designed as an open-air amphitheatre, was the venue for performances of the cultural programme. The first music festival opened in 1974 with the Munich band "Sonnenschiff". The drummer at the time was the legendary Theatron organiser and music producer Artur Silber, who later died far too early in 2021 at the age of just 66.

Many bands that are famous today played here as unknown up-and-coming combos: Sportfreunde Stiller, Fury in the Slaughterhouse and even the Scorpions. Others have performed here as world stars, such as Emerson, Lake & Palmer or the Spencer Davis Group. And as always, this year's Theatron Festival once again offers a colourful programme for every taste.
