political hurdles and new perspectives

The decision to move the festival to Heiligenstadt comes after a turbulent year in which the dispute over the use of the festival site is the forces of the organizers. Events such as the Vitalpark Open-Air are now to be bundled, which could bring a new cultural attraction for Heiligenstadt. Mayor Thomas Spielmann sees this as an opportunity to continue establishing the location as a cultural center, while ticket sales for the first event on July 12th started.

Mayor Frank Hix von Bad Sooden-Allendorf regrets the departure of the festival, which attracted thousands of guests to the Werra Valley and supported local companies. "It's bitter, but we open the doors for future collaborations. Maybe in 2026 there will be a new attempt for the sound garden in Bad Sooden-Allendorf," says Hix optimistic. Meanwhile, Sebastian Fromm, head of the Vital Park, praises the new possibilities and the excellent infrastructures that the location in Heiligenstadt offers.

The festival, which once attracted up to 10,000 visitors a year, is a well -known event with artists such as Ronan Keating and the Fantastic Four. The change is also a loss for the loyal fan base, which is already expressed in social media. "The beautiful atmosphere of the half -timbered houses has pulled people here," comments a user. However, the sound garden team ensures that the move is not the end, but the beginning of a new chapter in festival history.
