PEOPLE

Experience

We will be 200 musicians, old friends & new friends from different places, backgrounds and talents coming together for one week, converging our journeys across 40 studios at Funkhaus and the Michelberger, to find out what we can create for you to enjoy! We open our doors and hearts, to share what is dear to us in the hope to connect with each other through sound and the joy and magic it can carry.

Much of this concept runs counter to the logic of modern music events – basically the entire music industry – there are two ways to describe this idea, the modest one is that PEOPLE's makers want to change the way we listen to music at festivals – more feel, less consumption, the other, the more ambitious answer: they want to start a small revolution. The Michelberger Festival was a working title, PEOPLE is the name of a bigger idea.Musikexpress
