Bonn's Kunst!Rasen concert series turns 15 in 2027 and plans to celebrate with a record: 30 concerts from early July to late August in the Rheinaue park – more than ever before. The organisers expect up to 140,000 visitors, Radio Bonn/Rhein-Sieg reports. Past performers on the stage at the foot of the Post Tower include Santana, Sting, Tom Jones, Deep Purple and the Scorpions.
According to the official programme, the season opens on 4 July with the Beethoven Orchester Bonn's Klassik!Picknick. It is followed by Bryan Adams (6 July), Simply Red (7 July), Mo-Torres (10 July), Nico Santos (11 July), Alligatoah (15 July), Die Fantastischen Vier on their 'Final Tour' (23 July, sold out), Marteria (25 July), Dick Brave (26 August) and the 'Rheinkilometer 652' festival with Paula Hartmann and Dilla (27 August). Toto have also been announced, according to Radio Bonn and the Rhein-Zeitung, but no date appears in the official programme yet.
Tickets for most nights are already on sale via the Kunst!Rasen ticket shop and Bonnticket, with prices for Bryan Adams and Simply Red starting at 99 euros. Organisers Martin Nötzel and Ernst Ludwig Hartz have promised further surprises in the coming weeks.
