04. July 2022

After a break due to the pandemic, the Summer Break Sessions are now open to the public again. Before the musicians take their summer break, there will be one more week of live music starting July 18, 2022: Until July 21, more than 50 bands will perform live in the Popakademie's performance rooms - open to the public and with free admission.

"You can't get more live music in one week! We are happy that students of the Popakademie can present themselves to a broad audience again after the two years break due to the pandemic. The program covers all genres of popular music and is proof of the attractiveness of the UNESCO City of Music Mannheim," said Prof. Udo Dahmen, Artistic Director and Managing Director of the Popakademie Baden-Württemberg.

Live concerts in extraordinary surroundings: Two bands will perform live on July 19, 2022, at the Mannheim Planetarium. The visitors can look forward to impressive visuals to the music of ILAYO and Rolling Oranges Club & The Lost Pacifiers.
