Baltic Open Air 2026
Held in Busdorf, Germany, Baltic Open Air, or BOA, is a major gig in Europe that features music genres like heavy metal, folk, and rock. The festival began in 2011 in Königswiesen and moved to "Auf der Freiheit" in Schleswig until 2016. Due to space issues, it relocated to Busdorf and Selk in 2017. In 2022, it attracted about 12k visitors, with a future capacity limit of 15k per day. BOA's main stage featured heavy metal giants like Saxon, and a smaller stage for emerging bands and DJs.
