Rudolstadt Festival 2019

Rudolstadt was nothing like I could ever have even imagined. Nora Guthrie, daughter of legendary folk singer Woodie Guthrie, was rapturous in her letter describing the Rudolstadt Festival. She expressed her 'open plea' to all musicians: Book an extra night! Stick around! When your own work is done, schedule an extra day in your itinerary to really experience Rudolstadt, its people, and the festival crowd because youll never come across anything like it again. Most visitors coming to Rudolstadt feel the way Nora Guthrie does. The variety of the festival is simply overwhelming: Global pop from Spain and the vocal play of the Inuit, classical Iranian percussion and techno-trance from Turkey, Norwegian folk rock and German-Lebanese Ethno Jazz. For four days, there are about 300 performances by 150 bands and solo artists. It is one of the largest and most prestigious world music festivals in Europe. This range of concerts, workshops and talks attract up to 25,000 visitors a day. More Info below.
