Fools Garden Festivalpass
Great Plans for Pforzheim: With this festival, Fools Garden is bringing the city to life!
Their songs have traveled from Pforzheim out into the world, now the "Lemon Tree" is returning to its roots. In early August 2024, the pop band Fools Garden will host a three-day festival with many musical guests and some surprises, in partnership with the Kulturhaus Osterfeld. The occasion is the band's 33rd anniversary.
Nearly 40 artists and bands will perform, all with a connection to the band - a shared history. "We begged them all to come," jokes Freudenthaler about his countless phone calls in recent months. Personal contacts mattered, rarely did it go through the arduous route of management.
The fact that the Grammy-winning SWR Big Band and the Southwest German Chamber Orchestra will share the stage on the first evening is especially exciting for everyone. Others like Sons of Mannheim co-founder Rolf Stahlhofen reflect Freudenthaler's gratitude. "Whether in the Philippines, Brazil, or China - wherever I went, I always heard this song. It's like a religion," enthuses the singer.
On Friday, August 2, a charity gala is planned at the CCP, including a raffle for charitable purposes. The money will go towards specific projects: regionally to the "People in Need" aid campaign by the "Pforzheimer Zeitung", which is also a media partner of the festival, and nationally to the "Water is Right" foundation, founded by Rolf Stahlhofen. All artists will perform without payment, and there are numerous sponsors so that as much as possible can be donated.
