Dresdner Schlössernacht is a custom-made event for the banks of the Elbe: on July 25, 2026, it invites you to stroll, enjoy and be amazed for the 16th time. In the parks around Albrechtsberg Palace, Eckberg Palace, Lingnerschloss and the Saloppe, an open-air festival will be created that will delight visitors with its fantastic views over Dresden and a particularly wide-ranging music program. The event spans a wide range of 15 stages - from established names to fresh trends aimed at attracting younger music fans.
Artistic director Sylvia Grodd deliberately focuses on a mix of well-known artists and newcomers. Sydney Youngblood is likely to be a highlight for many fans: The 80s star stands for an unmistakable sound of soul, pop and funk. With his warm, distinctive voice and classics such as "Sit and wait" or "If only I could", he has already filled dance floors in Dresden recently. This music is perfect for Schlössernacht - in the open air on the east terrace of Albrechtsberg Castle.
Younger audiences are traditionally drawn to the "Young Stage" at Lingnerschloss. There, the Leipzig band "Asia Imbiss" will bring their mix of alternative indie and dreampop to the stage. With vocals, guitar and beats, Saskia & Stefan create a relaxed, warm atmosphere - like a Sunday at your favorite snack bar. Their first album, "All you can eat", is due to be released in the fall.
