To all the artists, sponsors, supporters and helping hands who once again made the Melodica Acoustic Festival 2024 an unforgettable experience for the region!

The Melodica Festival - Greater Region Edition is bringing the format back to Trier in 2026 - for the first time with a clear focus on the Greater region. The venue is the TUFA Trier, where an intimate, atmospheric concert and meeting space is created for two days.

With a special lighting design, the large hall of the TUFA will become a stage for closeness, dialogue and shared experiences. In addition, the outdoor area with the Flying Grass Carpet an open place to linger, exchange ideas and arrive.

A new start instead of a standstill: After a break, the Melodica Festival returns - fresher, more sustainable and closer to the musical treasures of our region. Since 2024 you have known us in the historic Frankenturm. But international travel routes, ecological responsibility and a lack of accessibility have prompted us to rethink our approach.

In 2026, we are opening a new chapter - in the TUFA Trier. With a living room atmosphere, magical light and a lot of love for music, the Melodica feeling remains intact. Outside, our „Flying Grass Carpet“ invites you to relax and socialise.

Why wander into the distance? In our Greater Region great talents from Rhineland-Palatinate, Saarland, Luxembourg and Lorraine to be seen. This is exactly where we come in - regionally rooted, internationally inspired.

Admission remains voluntary so that everyone can be there. Donations can be made on site or digitally.

We look forward to seeing you - and to what is about to begin.

Supported by the AG Culture of the Greater Region. Special thanks go to our co-operation partner TUFA Trier.
