SummerFeelings-Open-Air: Howard Carpendale, Maite Kelly, Nik P.

Great anticipation in Gronau, the city of music in the countryside: On August 14 and 15, 2026 the popular festival “SummerFeelings-DAS Gronau-Open-Air” will take place again next year. The Euregio border town will open its doors for two days and offer visitors two absolutely top programs in the music arena on the large open space at the Bürgerhalle. The local event agency Westfalen Events is cooperating for the first time with Mewes Entertainment Group GmbH, which belongs to DEAG. Tickets will be available from 28.11.2025 at myticket, CTS Eventim, SummerFeelings-Gronau.de and all other advance booking offices.

MARK FORSTER will be the festival highlight at the “NIGHT OF POP” on Friday, August 14, 2026 . The high-flyers from CLOCKCLOCK and singer PHILIPP DITTBERNER will also be performing in Gronau. On Saturday, August 15 , 2026 , “Schlager-Kult” at its finest will be the order of the day. None other than HOWARD CARPENDALE, “Ein Stern-Macher” NIK P. and the exceptional artist MAITE KELLY will then set off real fireworks live with their bands and ensure a grandiose ‘mega party’.

MARK FORSTER, for many years one of the best and most successful artists in the “German pop” genre, completely thrilled well over 8,000 visitors in the festival arena in Gronau four years ago. The exceptional artist is very much looking forward to a reunion in the “Music City in the Country” and also to rocking the arena again at the “NIGHT OF POP” with a new program and, of course, with his great hits in his luggage.

The pop band CLOCKCLOCK has been more than present in the international airplay and radio charts for years with many NR.1 hits (Brooklyn, Someone else, Love u again, Sorry etc…). Their participation in the TV format “Sing meinen Song-2025” also attracted a great deal of media attention this year. At their live shows, the band always give their all, with their performance and songs that go straight to the blood, body and heart.

PHILIPP DITTBERNER is known for his authentic and emotional German-language pop songs. He celebrated his breakthrough in 2015 with the hit “Wolke 4”, which went viral on the internet and became an integral part of the German pop music scene. This was followed by hits such as “Das ist dein Leben” and “Gib mir einen Grund”. The songwriter and singer-songwriter is currently celebrating his 10th anniversary on stage and completes the “NIGHT OF POP” in Gronau.

After the sold-out festivals with Roland Kaiser (2023) and Andreas Gabalier (2024), the organizers are now particularly looking forward to HOWARD CARPENDALE & Band on Saturday, 15 August 2026. Well over 65 million records sold, countless sold-out live tours and dozens of No. 1 hits adorn the success story of the South African-born singer, who became a pop superstar in Germany. His cross-generational evergreens such as “Hello Again”, “Ti Amo”, “Nachts, wenn alles schläft”, “Wegen dir”, “Tür an Tür mit Alice” and “Du fängst den Wind niemals ein” are absolute pop cult hits.

With MAITE KELLY & Band, another highlight entertainer will rock the stage on this day. Under the motto “Schlager Heart & Flower Power!”, the exceptional artist will party loudly with the audience, dance barefoot, dream under the stars and share the anthems of our lives. As a hippie Kelly child who has traveled all over the world by bus, she considers “outside” to be her second living room. Her shows are 100% Schlagerpunk, 100% flower power, 100% heart! Real, authentic, straightforward. No chi-chi, no fake – just Maite and her best band. With new hits and legendary songs from Kaiser to Haddaway, Maite Kelly has everything in her picnic basket for the Schlager Night in Gronau.

NIK P., a thoroughbred musician and one of Austria’s best-known and best live artists for a long time, became famous in this country at the end of the 90s with his self-written song “Ein Stern, der deinen Namen trägt”. Almost ten years after its first release, the new edition in a duet with DJ Ötzi became an absolute mega smash hit. NIK P. and his band will be performing his other hits such as “Geboren um dich zu lieben” and “Gloria” in Gronau, creating a “cult atmosphere”.

At the beginning of the Schlagerkult-Party, which will last almost seven hours, Germany’s most listened-to pop station, RADIO SCHLAGERPARADIES, will present “Schlager-Youngstars” in a separate show block on the show stage on Saturday afternoon from 16:00, a more than atmospheric “festival warm-up” and certainly the perfect way to get in the mood for the Schlager-Kult-Party in Gronau.

Advance ticket sales for both events start on Friday, November 28 at 4 pm.
