Hagener Kultursommer - Muschelsalat

Pop, world music, and that summer vibe at Muschelsalat

Two concerts, two very different sounds—and an evening that invites you to listen, dance, and enjoy the open air.

Kicking things off is Hagen-based singer-songwriter Benjamin Braatz. With his distinctive voice, guitar, and heartfelt indie-pop songs, he tells of life’s ups and downs. He’s been known to a wider audience ever since his appearance in the 2025 German Eurovision Song Contest preliminary round—and now you can see him live at Muschelsalat.

Starting at 8 p.m., RasgaRasga will rock the stage. Six musicians, twelve instruments, five languages, and an energetic mix of folk, pop, Balkan rhythms, and musical influences from around the world make every concert by this Cologne-based band a celebration. Sometimes poetic, sometimes euphoric, always rousing—hardly anyone can stand still for long here.

Free admission. Starting at 6 p.m., food and drink stands will create that perfect summer festival vibe. The event grounds are wheelchair accessible—we recommend using public transportation to get there.
