30 Jahre Theaterstübchen

In the organizer's words:

30 years of Theaterstübchen: Kassel celebrates major summit meeting of the local music scene
The Theaterstübchen is marking a milestone: on September 26, 2026, the cultural institution is celebrating its 30th anniversary with an unprecedented event. On this day, the Interim will host what is probably the biggest gathering of renowned Kassel artists that the city has ever seen.
Since its opening on September 26, 1996 on Steinweg, the Theaterstübchen has developed into the heart of live music in Kassel, from its location in Oberste Gasse to its current location in Jordanstrasse (since 2000). Owner Markus Knierim is celebrating this anniversary with a special concept: "I want exactly one song from each band for this day."
The line-up: from world-class to up-and-coming talent
The program reflects the entire spectrum of Kassel's musical landscape. The line-up includes jazz greats such as Edgar Knecht and Triosence, veterans like Stolle & Band, Andreas Diehlmann, Romana Reiff and Dark Vatter, Three Sides of a Coin, Dennis Wenzel, Sabine Wackernagel, Chip'n'Steel, CountryMo and the Catfish, Nightcruise, Groove T, Gerd Hallaschka & Friends, Helmut Schäfer, Level Eleven, the Jacob-Grimm School, the Heinrich-Schütz School, Wilhelmsgymnasium, Torpedo2, Rockmachine, Bettyford, Pfeffer & Likör, Soul2Soul, Bronson, Eva's Love Train, Abbey Lane, Los Companeros, Out of K-Town, Joern and the Michaels, Florian Brauer, City Lights, Detlef Landeck (The Crusaders), Beat goes Stübchen (Beat Project), Susanne Vogt & Friends, Udomat & die Panikgenossen, Frau Supertramp, Hartmut Schmidt, RioXLilia, Handsomest, Axel Barthe, Bernd Riehl, Jürgen Müller, Udo Krüger, Nicole Jukic, Katja Friedenberg, Thomas Höhl, Tabea Henkelmann, Jörg Götzfried, Frank and Lisa Sommerfeld, Axel Netzband, Voice meets Voice, Miss Roger, Claudia Riemann, Mikado, Pardon, Martin Lüker, Brian O'Gott, Hannes Hirth Trio, Musikakademie Kassel, Musikschule Kassel, Bene Schuba, Complete Music Camp (represented by the band D.I.S.T.A.N.C.E.), Urban Beyer and numerous amateur and student bands. All of this resounds in a perfectly blended tone thanks to the expertise of Rolf Dressler and Florian Apel. It is a tribute to the diversity that the Theaterstübchen has been promoting for three decades.
