BKO Open Air: A sense of home

BKO Open Air "Hoamatgfühl" brings local sounds to the Stadtpark Bärnbach. On August 8, 2026, the Bergkapelle Oberdorf-Bärnbach invites you to a summer evening under the open sky, perfectly suited to the region: honest, approachable, and featuring music that many know. Amidst old trees, open pathways, and the tranquil park atmosphere, a concert evening emerges with plenty of space for brass music, voices, and familiar melodies.

The program spans the spectrum from operetta to Austropop, folk music, and rock. Thus, delicate melodies meet strong rhythms, familiar songs find new colors. The motto "Hoamatgfühl" is no big word but rather a common thread. It’s about music from Austria, the joy of listening together, and the feeling of being exactly where you should be in Stadtpark Bärnbach.

The BKO Open Air has been a fixed point in the summer of the Graz Erlebnisregion for years. Previous mottos like "Love is on Air" or "Rock and more 2.0" have shown how broadly the Bergkapelle Oberdorf-Bärnbach performs. Many guests return because the evening remains relaxed yet carefully crafted.

Catering is provided. The gastronomy starts at 6:00 p.m., the warm-up begins at 8:00 p.m., and the concert starts at 8:15 p.m. Afterwards, the evening concludes with the after-show party at the BKO bar. Admission is by voluntary donation. In case of bad weather, the alternative date is August 14, 2026.

Bärnbach is accessible by public transport.
