Live Music in Regensburg

Few cities of Regensburg's size carry the musical weight of a boys' choir likely older than any other in the world. The Regensburger Domspatzen has been shaping the city's identity for centuries, and that deep investment in sacred and classical music still runs through the place today, from organ concerts at St. Peter's Cathedral to the internationally regarded Tage Alter Musik festival, which celebrates its 41st edition in 2026. The live scene extends well beyond those traditions: the Regensburg Jazz Club, one of the largest in Germany, anchors a serious contemporary jazz culture reinforced by the annual Jazzweekend, while the Alte Mälzerei, Degginger, and the vast Donau Arena accommodate everything from local acts like blues outfit The Electric Panthers and indie band Levanter to major touring artists. Regensburg consistently delivers more musical range than its profile might suggest.
