Information about the festival

Munich’s brightest party at the Long Night of Music is at the Gasteig HP8.

The Long Night of Music 2026: Same Old Song and new discoveries

One song filling an entire evening with an infinite number of variations? That’s the idea behind JJ Jones’ Same Old Song: a single song as a platform for musical diversity, community and creativity that’s full of surprises. To mark the anniversary, Hall X was filled with birthday songs like you’ve never heard before. And fans of singer-songwriter Saguru, Austropop band Mwita Mataro and electro formation Ströme headed to Hall E for a varied party atmosphere.

In the rehearsal hall and the small hall, meanwhile, students and graduates of the University of Music and Theatre Munich demonstrated their skills in various ensembles – made by HMTM.

Also taking place was our ever-popular Silent Disco, which once again transformed the Am Kulturkraftwerk plaza into a bobbing sea of glowing headphones.

With the kind support of Motel One and “München wird inklusiv”
