Dance, musical theater, pop: Chemnitz's Capital of Culture program kicks off the summer with a series of festivals. The "Kosmos" at the Schlossteich is likely to be the biggest visitor magnet. Around 300 programme items are planned there and at other locations over three days (13-15 June), explained co-organizer Ernesto Uhlmann.
The pop band Juli ("Geile Zeit", "Perfekte Welle"), the group Deine Freunde and rapper Disarstar are expected to perform. The indie pop trio Blond will also be giving a concert on Theaterplatz with the Robert Schumann Philharmonic Orchestra. According to Uhlmann, tickets for this sold out within a short space of time. Admission to the festival events is free. It goes back to the #wirsindmehr concert following right-wing extremist riots in 2018. Last year, it attracted 70,000 people in just one day.
