Wilco rocks Dachau: Over 1,600 fans celebrate on the town hall square!
Today, June 20, 2025, Dachau's town hall square was the venue for a rousing concert by the renowned band Wilco. The legendary US rock band, which has been on stage for 25 years, brought together over 1,600 fans, many of them from Austria and the Czech Republic. The Dachau summer of music began with a real highlight, and the fans were ready for an unforgettable experience. Half an hour before the concert started, the queue stretched through half of the old town, a real sign of the anticipation for the event.
Wilco, known for their blend of folk, rock and country, delivered a three-hour program packed with more than 30 songs. Highlights included well-known pieces such as “California Stars,” “Jesus, Etc.” and “You Never Know.” The singer Jeff Tweedy noticed the special atmosphere and the interaction with the audience, which made the evening a special experience. Many in the crowd were thrilled as it was the band's first performance in Bavaria in 14 years.
A special experience in Dachau
The venue, the town hall square in Dachau, which is ideal for such events, offered the band and the audience a great backdrop. The organizer Tobias Schneider was also more than satisfied with how things went. Before the concert, Tweedy took the opportunity to visit Dachau Castle and the idyllic Hofgarten - a nice gesture that demonstrated his connection to the city.
Wilco are known not only for their masterful live performances, but also for their flexible setlist that never fails to surprise. Her current album “Cousin”, which was created in collaboration with Cate Le Bon, stood out for its experimental and melodic sounds. This re-established the band as a creative force in the music world after their international breakthrough began with the album “Yankee Hotel Foxtrot” in 2001.
A look into the future
But that's not all: the Dachau Music Summer has even more exciting acts to offer. Christina Sturmer will take the stage on June 28th, followed by Mighty Oaks on June 29th. The series of events continues to promise musical heights, and fans can look forward to two more exciting concerts. The Dachau Music Summer is establishing itself as an important part of the cultural scene, and Wilco have once again shown that they are among the big names in music history.
Anyone who missed Wilco's concert can only hope that the band will perform in the region again soon. For fans it remains to be seen how the live scene will develop in the coming months, but one thing is clear: Wilco have left a lasting impression in Dachau. Further information and details about the upcoming performances can be found on the pages of the cultural organizers Süddeutsche, In München and Wilcoworld.
