Summer in the City Mainz 2027: Open-Air Summer with Festival Feel
Warm summer air, music under the open sky, and the most beautiful places in the Mainz city center: Summer in the City transforms Mainz into a large open-air stage. The concert series connects national and international artists with a special city backdrop and genuine community feeling.
Music Under the Open Sky
As the first notes resonate over the Volkspark, the Citadel, or the Cathedral Square, a distinctive festival atmosphere emerges. The program traditionally ranges from pop, rock, and hip-hop to jazz, world music, classical, comedy, and cabaret. Different artist lineups make each event a unique live experience.
Mainzer Concert Tradition with History
The roots trace back to the Mainz Tent Festival, which started in 1997 in the Volkspark. From this success story, the open-air series Summer in the City developed, which has been performed in the most beautiful places in the city since 2010. The history has featured notable acts including Sting, Patti Smith, Bob Dylan, Herbert Grönemeyer, Santana, Mark Forster, and many other greats.
Festival Grounds Between Citadel and Cathedral Square
Summer in the City thrives on the interplay of music and urban backdrop. The Citadel offers historic walls and expansive views over Mainz, the Volkspark creates a relaxed summer mood, while the Cathedral Square enables concerts right in the heart of the city. The open-air acoustics, the light of the evening hours, and the proximity to the audience shape the multi-day experience.
Line-up and Concert Moments
The series stands for diverse artist lineups and large live productions. Previous editions have brought together numerous concerts and tens of thousands of visitors. In 2025, Summer in the City presented 13 concerts with around 45,000 visitors. For the 2027 season, the official event site has already announced the continuation of the popular open-air concert series.
