“A powerful rush of water and music that opens Augsburg to the world.” (Süddeutsche Zeitung)

The Water & Sound Festival 2025 invites the audience to embark on a musical journey along the rivers of the world. This year’s theme explores the cultural, historical, metaphysical and ecological significance of rivers through an inspiring program of contemporary global music, art installations and thought-provoking panel discussions. From the mighty Amazon to the sacred Ganges, from the Danube to the Euphrates and Tigris, the festival shows how rivers have shaped civilizations, inspire the arts and remain vital lifelines for our planet. Visitors can expect a wide range of musical styles and genres from the current global music scene, reflecting the ever-changing nature of water and rivers. Rivers reveal themselves as powerful symbols of life, movement and the interconnectedness of the global community.

The program will be announced in the course of the spring.
