Tecklenburg Open-Air Festival 2026: programme, tickets & tips

While Tecklenburg still lies under snow in winter, behind the scenes at the open-air stage the countdown to the festival summer has long since begun. Advance sales already show how great the anticipation is: 52,000 tickets have already been sold.
