Picnic concert with Still Burning: A summer evening full of music!
An inclusive enjoyment of music in the open air awaits visitors on Sunday, June 22, 2025, when the first picnic concert takes place in the Herrenhof Cultural Center in Neustadt-Mußbach. From 5:30 p.m., music lovers can look forward to the acoustic sounds of the band “Still Burning,” led by singer-songwriter Wolfgang Dinges. The program consists of popular interpretations by Sting and The Police as well as their own songs, which are performed in both English and the Palatinate dialect. With this unique combination of music and community, the evening is designed as a special experience that is equally accessible to young and old, as entry is free and follows the “pay what you want” principle, informs the Wochenblatt Reporter.
Guests are invited to bring their own picnic blankets, seating and food. While the music sounds, the Herrenhof Cultural Center will provide drinks and snacks. The event not only lives from the music, but also strongly incorporates the idea of sustainability. In order to protect the environment, visitors are recommended to come by bike or to use public transport and the local transport service “Mobility on Demand”, as Treffpunkt Pfalz explains.
Awareness of nature and a sense of community
The event format relies on a strong sense of community and enjoyment of nature. At a time when more and more people are becoming more aware of climate and sustainability issues, it is encouraging to see that such events are not only entertaining but also environmentally friendly. Climate protection is a big issue in Germany, and events like this picnic concert could make a valuable contribution to this. According to Deutschlandfunk Nova, music and event industries have a significant influence on CO2 emissions. According to a current law, 65% of emissions should be saved by 2030.
The concept of sustainable events is becoming increasingly important, with fan travel having a particularly large ecological footprint. The focus on environmentally friendly travel options has already been integrated into many festivals and concerts, which score points with discounts for travel by public transport or even the inclusion of travel costs in the ticket price. These approaches could also be used at the picnic concert in Neustadt, which further promotes sustainable thinking.
The first picnic concert promises not only a musical highlight, but also a model for an environmentally conscious and communal cultural event. Come by, bring your blankets, and enjoy a unique summer evening full of music and regional flair!
