Johannes Oerding is coming to Salzkotten for the Open Air 2025

Salzkotten. The top act for the 2025 Open Air at the Dreckburg in Salzkotten has been decided. Johannes Oerding will be performing next year, Salzkotten Marketing announced. The big open-air party will take place on August 1st.

The first 500 tickets have already been sold in a pre-sale. However, the first buyers of the blind tickets had no idea what music they could expect in August. The official sale of tickets will begin on Tuesday, September 10th – from 6 p.m. in the Citizens’ Office of the City of Salzkotten and via Eventim.com.

In recent years, other well-known German pop stars such as Adel Tawil, Sarah Connor, Silbermond, Revolverheld, Mark Forster, Nico Santos and most recently Bosse have had the honor.

“Every performance was unique and special,” said Mayor Ulrich Berger at the press conference on Sunday, looking back on the many artists who have already been guests at the Dreckburg. “But the anticipation of the next act exceeds every time.”

The multi-platinum and gold award-winning singer-songwriter Johannes Oerding, also known from the TV shows “The Voice of Germany” and “Sing my Song”, will rock the Dreckburg in Salzkotten next year. The Hamburg-based artist, whose career began in 2009 and took off in 2011 with the album “Für immer ab jetzt”, is currently one of the most sought-after musicians in the German-speaking world. His albums “Konturen” and “Plan A” conquered the charts.

A total of 4,500 standing places are available. Tickets for adults cost 69.50 euros, and for children up to 12 years 59.50 euros. In addition, 499 VIP tickets can be purchased for 84.50 euros, which include a welcome drink and seats in an exclusive area.

The concert begins at around 8 p.m., and admission to the concert area will begin at 5.30 p.m. For safety reasons, entry is only permitted for children aged six and over.
