Since its inception in 1993, the Honky Tonk Festival has become one of Germany's most successful music events. After seeing the success of their first Schweinfurt event, Blues Agency brought this concept to cities all over Germany and Switzerland alike. In 2017, the media.con became the premier rights holder and organizer for Austria as well - thus making it a truly international sensation.
Honky Tonk is all about creating a musical, citywide experience! On one particular night of the week, people are welcome to come out and enjoy all types of popular music - from blues to rock'n'roll, reggae to ska, jazz, and hip hop. Whether you prefer folk or country tunes, salsa or swing, tango or coffee house melodies, you'll find something that suits your taste at Honky Tonk!
Visit a Honky Tonk checkout, pay the one-time fee for your entry wristband and get ready to rock 'n' roll. All you need on that night is an access band - paying just once allows you to explore all the festival-participating bars and rounds! Get ready: Pay Once – Live Everywhere!
