Heimatsound Festival 2021 is canceled - search for a new date is ongoing

Now it is finally certain: Corona will also cause the cancellation of the popular Heimatsound Festival in Oberammergau in 2021.

There is a lack of planning security.

Oberammergau - It was to be expected: The Heimatsound Festival in the Oberammergau Passion Play Theater will also be canceled this year after the corona-related cancellation in 2020. Those responsible announced this on Wednesday morning. "In the last few months we have thought a lot about possible solutions and come up with various ideas and concepts," says the press release. Many discussions were held - with other organizers, bookers, partners from BR-Fernsehen and Bayern 2 as well as with the responsible authorities. Eventually the organizers came to the conclusion that they will not get any planning security. "The pandemic does not give us the opportunity to hold a responsible and relaxed festival with thousands of visitors."

The tickets for the 2020 and 2021 festivals will be completely reversed. Since the Oberammergau Passion Play will take place in the Passion Play Theater in 2022, it is still unclear on what date the next festival can take place. "But we are looking for an appointment," said those responsible.

The reverse transaction of the tickets takes place directly at via the ticket partner München Ticket. The costs will be reimbursed 100%.
