30,000 visitors celebrated the 20th anniversary of the Midsummer Night's Dream

For a moment, it looked as though the weather might spoil the Summer Night's Dream. But in the end, the programme was able to continue after a brief interruption. 30,000 visitors had come to the Olympic Park to celebrate the 20th anniversary.

Top national and international acts created an electrifying atmosphere on two stages – led by Max Giesinger, Ásdís (somewhat shortened) and Nico Laska on the main stage. On the peninsula stage, Altin Gün and Munich's HyTop Soundsystem kept the evening dancing – only Cosmica Bandida's performance fell victim to the interruption of the programme.

"I am relieved that the weather held out and that we were able to celebrate the 20th anniversary of our Olympic Park event with so many visitors. We all enjoyed wonderful artists and a breathtaking pyrotechnic show. I would like to thank our team and all our partners who made this midsummer night's dream possible," sums up Marion Schöne, Managing Director of Olympic Park Munich GmbH.

Premiere for drones and XXL art On the festival grounds, an XXL installation by artist duo Lando and Bert transformed Hans-Jochen-Vogel Square into a walk-in portrait gallery, while four other artists designed individual photo spots. The grand finale, themed ‘Brilliant Reflections – The 20th Dream,’ set new standards: For the first time, a drone show complemented the legendary fireworks display. Fifty drones, 6,150 ignition lines and 170 different pyrotechnic effects immersed the Olympic Park in a spectacular sea of colour and sound – perfectly choreographed to music ranging from classics to current hits. In addition to the main and peninsula stages, there were numerous places to retreat and enjoy, stroll, savour and marvel. On the dream stage and in the sound container, the audience discovered finely curated sounds from the local scene – from poetic pop to electronic storytelling. Two stages that invited visitors to listen and linger.
