The successful programme “City Culture at the Mercedes-Benz Museum” is back: from 13 July to 13 August, cultural practitioners from Stuttgart and the region will present their programmes on the open-air stage for the third time since the premiere in 2021. The Museum acts as the tried and tested host for the cultural programme across various genres and themes and provides the open-air stage as a unique summer location.
This summer, the programme again offers a colourful mix from theatre to poetry slam, and from club evenings with hip-hop and electronic music to classical sounds and cabaret. The Mercedes-Benz Museum is also hosting a concert: on 9 August, the German-Australian duo Amistat will be playing, with Hollie Col and Dane Drewis as support.
The current event overview is available on the website
