Fête de la Musique Hannover

Hannover's Fête de la Musique follows, on the summer solstice each year, the free open-air concert format born in Paris in 1982. The city centre turns into some forty stages hosting thousands of musicians across genres from jazz and classical to rock, pop, soul and electronic music. Reflecting Hannover's status as a UNESCO City of Music, the event showcases both amateur and professional performers playing for free in public spaces.
