“50 weeks - 50 greets 

Musical message in a bottle 

If you look closely, the moers festival is celebrating a double birthday: the 50th festival will take place in 2021, but the 50th birthday will not be until 2022, after all, Burkhard Hennen organized the very first “jazz” (as some Moerser still say today) in the legendary castle courtyard 1972. Since the festival never canceled despite numerous extremely difficult situations, we can now celebrate this unique situation properly! In the 50 weeks between Festival 2021 and Festival 2022, we receive a musical greeting every week from an artist who has played a decisive role in shaping the moers festival's DNA. Be it through frequent presence or through the one that is still legendary today ... 

After Whitsun 2021 you can experience these musical bottle postings on our website!”
