Summer night sounds and dancing into the morning: that was the Long Night of Music 2024

Eagerly awaited and charged with anticipation, a special moment of the evening dawned when Soffie, the charismatic interpreter of the hit "Für immer Frühling", took to the stage of the Stadtwerk am See. The singer had already conquered the German TikTok community with this catchy tune.

Greeted by a particularly loud audience, her surprise was unmistakable. She later shared on her Instagram account: "I've never had a crowd chanting my name before. That was the first time and please never again without it."

The last rays of sunshine of the day bathed the Kulturhaus Caserne in warm light, while the numerous visitors spread out across three stages, which were performed by various artists. The festival lasted from 6 p.m. until the early hours of the morning, accompanied by dancing, singing and socializing.

The sunny weather and the accompanying summery atmosphere invited people to enjoy their time outdoors, whether it was sampling the food at the food stalls or browsing through the merchandise of the Long Night of Music.

Organized by a group of students from Zeppelin University, the festival attracted a diverse audience. Old and young music lovers alike enjoyed the sounds on offer. Jamila, who had secured a performance on the main stage as the winner of the OpenCall Contest, kicked off the festival.

The festival grounds were packed when the band Schorl3 took to the stage. The band's rousing performance immediately ignited a wave of energy across the festival site and encouraged the audience to enthusiastically sing along to their hits. Despite loud calls for a train, the show had to go on so as not to keep the next artist, Pantha, waiting.

Later in the evening, the action moved indoors, but the cheerful and lively atmosphere continued to permeate the entire area. In the casino, people danced well into the night to the sounds of Paulinko, Stockmann Danju and the Guacamolebois.

The musical journey led from German synthpop to rap, offering visitors the opportunity to immerse themselves in musical genres they may be less familiar with. The performance by the band Paulinko was particularly captivating, as the singer not only impressed many in the audience with her vocals, but also with her lively way of dancing.

Another musical spectacle took place in the workshop. In a small, packed room, young visitors were carried away by the sounds of Radioactive Honey and Shimmer. The band Luftschiffkapelle, made up of students from Zeppelin University, impressed the audience with their mix of poppy jazz and soul rhythms.

Although the musical spectrum of the festival may not have suited every taste, the rousing and energetic performances of the artists managed to captivate numerous visitors.
