Open Stage at the Cultural Station Parapluie: Stage open for Weiden's music scene

On April 11, 2026, the Cultural Station Parapluie will become a vibrant hub for music, encounters, and spontaneous creativity. The Open Stage combines short live performances, an open jam session, and the musician round table – an event experience that has shaped the local scene for years. Doors open at 5:30 PM, the start is at 7:00 PM, and admission is free.

Atmosphere: Close, loud, lively

The event atmosphere thrives on immediately palpable energy: spotlights bathe the stage in warm light, guitars hum, and the audience's mood carries every sound. Here, professional routines blend with first-performance excitement – a diverse genre mix from folk to rock, from jazz to pop.

Concept: Open stage with a professional framework

The event focuses on smart event planning: an opener band presents a compact 45-minute set, followed by one or two acts or solo artists showcasing their songs. Afterward, the stage belongs to the jam session. Sound engineer and musician Günter Hagn ensures clean sound and smooth organization; a complete PA with monitors and lighting, tube and bass amplifiers, drums, electric piano, and guitars are available – ideal production conditions for spontaneous collaboration.

Participation: From newcomers to regulars

Whether it's first stage experience or a new kick for veterans: the Open Stage is an invitation to experiment. Bands can sign up for opener slots; those who want to jam spontaneously can join later. The target audience offering is intentionally low-threshold – a perfect entry point for young musicians and an inspiring meeting place for the community.

Audience: Proximity, resonance, moments

The audience's mood makes the evening: 150 guests fit into the Cultural Station, and every applause becomes an impulse for the next idea. Instead of distance, closeness is created – an event experience that resonates even on the way home.

Conclusion
