Open-Air Festival Puls 2024 - A celebration bravely endures nature's challenges.

Starting from June 6th to 8th, the gates of Schloss Kaltenberg welcomed music enthusiasts for the annual Puls Open Air Festival. Sponsored by Bayerischer Rundfunk's young content network and the organizers of the Kaltenberg Tournament, this festival has been running since 2016. Despite facing some initial challenges, such as a weather forecast and delayed access, the event proceeded.

Thursday's program kicked off with the Würzburg indie pop duo, Lena & Linus, who set the mood with their melodic tunes. The rain briefly interrupted, but it didn't dampen the spirits of Yasin Sert, aka Milleniumkid, and his melancholic sounds of "Vielleicht Vielleicht" or "Unendlichkeit." To maintain the genre diversity, Munich rapper Fatoni (40) captivated the audience with his performance, sharing his descriptions of the "Wunderbare Welt" while encouraging the crowd to "Auseinander."

Rubber boots, colors, and jubilation

The following day, Friday, dawned with weather-related delays but no shortage of enthusiasm. The eclectic Chemnitz indie trio, Blond, brought both sunshine and a vibrant stage set-up, captivating the audience with their happy tunes. The revelers shook off any gloom brought by the mud and puddled terrain, dancing their hearts out along with singer-songwriter Mayberg (24).

The Schlossbühne pulsated with the pulsating beat of Paul Wetz' "Ode an den Bass." Under the Walhalla-Bühne's covered roof, visitors cheered with delight at Dominik Hartz' (27) featuring "Klimpa Klimpa." The Ritter-Arena was a spectacle for hip-hop fans, hosting Schmyt, whose hit "Gift" was a crowd-pleaser, and the Berlin rapper and dancer duo Takt32 and Badmómzjay (21). Levin Liam (24) soothed the crowd at the Schlossbühne, while the techno of Berlin duo Kalte Liebe played at the Waldbühne, providing a fitting end to the day.

A hometown hero, a trip to Vienna, and a plea

Saturday brought more music headlined by Malik Harris (26), a local singer from Landsberg am Lech. Clearly touched by his home-town support, Malik impressed with his looping talents on stage. In the Arena, the gender parity in the line-up was evident; singers Dilla (23), Zoe Wees (22), and Paula Hartmann (23) helped rekindle the artistic passion despite the rainy climate. Viennese artist Bibiza (26) added to the excitement on the Schlossbühne with upbeat tracks like "Casanova" and "Opernring Blues."

The grand finale for this exceptional festival was led by the German indie stars, Giant Rooks. Lead singer Fred Rabe (28) had a blast dancing among the Arena crowd, and before the day ended, he made a passionate plea to the audience: "Go vote!" he urged for participating in the elections for Europe the next day.
