Techno sounds conquer Bremen: a pack delights 8,500 fans at Domplatz!
On Saturday evening, September 7th, 2025, the Techno Marching Band Meute from Hamburg provided a magnificent conclusion to the Bremen Music Festival. In wonderful weather, over 8,500 visitors gathered on Cathedral Square, where the concert took place in the open air. The originally planned event at the Bremen market was quickly moved to the new location due to the high number of people, meaning that guests now had a much more spacious area up to the Neptune fountain. The open-air concert was not only a musical highlight, but also free.
Meute, known for their bright red brass band uniforms, combines acoustic instruments with the pulsating sounds of techno, house and deep house. The band, which was founded in a Berlin club in 2014, is now one of the most sought-after festival acts worldwide and has already played on major stages such as the Coachella Festival, MS Dockville and the Hollywood Bowl. The eleven musicians, consisting of brass players, percussionists and drummers, thrilled the audience with a rousing performance that got people dancing. musikfest-bremen.de reports that…
Cultural diversity and responsibility
The Bremen Music Festival, which this year has around 25,600 visitors with a capacity of over 90 percent, closed its program with an impressive concert by the Mahler Chamber Orchestra, which took place on Friday. Intendant Thomas Albert reminded in his speech that the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra, under the direction of Daniel Barenboim and with pianist Lang Lang, is celebrating its 25th anniversary. This orchestra actively promotes international understanding in the Middle East. The concert by the Mahler Chamber Orchestra was another highlight of the festival, in which soloist Anastasia Kobekina performed Shostakovich's Cello Concerto No. 1 in E flat major from memory.
Particular attention is also paid to the social responsibility of Meute, who campaign against right-wing radicalism. This message came through loud and clear at the performance and added an important dimension to the music festival. Managing director Jörg Ehntholt assessed the event as balanced in terms of the economic side and has already announced the next Bremen Music Festival for the period from August 15th to September 5th, 2026.
Anyone who attended this exciting day or is interested in visiting next year is recommended to plan their arrival well in advance. The event not only offered great music, but also barrier-free access for wheelchair users and people with walking difficulties, who occupied a special area in the cathedral courtyard. The “Schüsselkorb” stop was presented as an optimal connection to public transport.
Such a celebration of music and community spirit is already building anticipation for next year. The Bremen Music Festival has once again proven that it is and will continue to be a central meeting place for music enthusiasts. welt.de reports that ...
