About Rote Sonne

Experimental sounds at Maximiliansplatz might seem like an odd fit during Oktoberfest, but that's exactly why Rote Sonne works so perfectly. The art-loving crowd here creates the most interesting conversations I've had during Wiesn season - discussing Bavarian traditions one minute, avant-garde music the next. This institution proves Munich's cultural depth extends far beyond beer tents.
