REVIEW & START FOR THE TICKET SALE
After a long break, we are finally back from our head office in snowy Scherleithen. 20 years of Klangtherapie are now behind us. What began as a small rave in 2003 has now grown into a permanent institution in Bavaria. A festival that is dedicated to making utopias come true, stands for attention to detail, passion, community and diversity and is deliberately independent and therefore sponsor-free. With Klangtherapie, we wanted to create an alternative to Bavaria's otherwise rather one-sided cultural landscape and have been able to achieve this thanks to YOUR ongoing support. Without you, there would be no WE and therefore no Klangtherapie - THANK YOU for your trust!
We are still flashed by your feedback on this year's edition and by the euphoria on site despite the cold weather. We were incredibly grateful for the help of all the weather gods right on time for the opening day, when the bands of rain had finally passed, while strong winds dried out the fields and our field was not completely flooded.
As magical as the festival was, it was just as challenging behind the scenes. We were used to relentless heat. However, we hadn't had to cope with two weeks of constant rain combined with cold weather for the set-up for a long time. It took nerves and strength - and was totally worth it!
Despite the adverse conditions, our set-up team made the seemingly impossible come true: Klangtherapie opened on time on Thursday evening. The tons of wood chips on the site did the rest. :)
At this point, the biggest RESPECT and THANK YOU goes out to our crew! And it's not just the crew that fills the festival with life - many different collectives were involved this year: thanks to Landfunk, Wilde Wiese, Latzhosenbande, Wellness Waves, Büssing & Soziokultur Fürth. We are so flashed by your work and the love that went into every detail! Despite the hardships, you kept up the spirit on the field and showed incredible stamina.
We are still discussing how we will cope with such rainfall in the future. We definitely need solutions that make our day-to-day work easier in such situations. Another thing we have on our agenda for next year is to further improve the toilet situation. Unfortunately, the composting toilets were not as clean as we all would have liked. In addition, next year there will finally be squat piss channels.
We are currently still in the process of reviewing the past Klangtherapie and at the same time we are already making plans for next year! Mark the date in bold in your calendar: August 1-4, 2024. If you have any constructive feedback for us, keep it coming! Just send us an email to anfragen@klangtherapie-festival.de.
Pre-sales for the 19th edition of Klangtherapie will start with the first ticket phase on December 3. With the purchase of a Soli ticket you subsidize the minimum ticket for low-income earners. A small contingent of day tickets will be available at the start of the 4th ticket phase.
From January you can apply as a volunteer for Klangtherapie 2024. Our application form for DJs, live acts and musicians will also be available on our homepage from January 1 - 31. Please note - we do not accept any booking requests via our social media channels.
Over the next few months, we'll be pulling a few gems from our hard drives in the form of pictures and videos to sweeten the wait until August!
Enjoy the first snow and rave on!
Your crew
