About Backstage

Every local knows Backstage as Munich's temple for live rock, indie, and punk - a refreshing antidote to all that electronic mainstream during festival season. Hidden behind its industrial facade, you'll find multiple stages and even a proper beer garden for when you need fresh air between sets. My personal favorite thing about their afterOktoberfest rock parties is how they attract festival visitors who are secretly relieved to trade lederhosen for leather jackets.
