Rockabilly festival in Sonneberg: engines, music and good mood!

Last weekend the Schlossberg in Sonneberg took on a touch of Americana when the rockabilly weekend took place. From Friday, June 27th to Sunday, June 29, 2025, visitors experienced a colorful program of US car culture, live music and a variety of attractions that celebrated the subcultures of the Rockabilly scene. According to Insuedthueringen.de this year the event took place for the second time under the organization of Matthias Maier and Kay "Earl" Landgraf.

"It is fantastic to see how people descend on the motorsport and music scene," said the tenant of the Schlossberg, Matthias Maier. The event not only attracted rockabilly fans, but also classic car lovers and interested parties from the region and beyond. The first selection of Chevys and Harleys, who adorned the site on Friday afternoon, was particularly remarkable.

an extensive program

The rockabilly weekend offered a variety of activities for young and old. Entry was free during the day and offered the opportunity to relax with music, drinks and snacks. Friday started at 4:00 p.m. with a vintage market and a US car & bike show. At 6:00 p.m., the first paying guests entered the festival site for the price of 10 euros, followed by a live appearance of the rockabilly band "Dice 13" from Meura from 8:00 p.m.

The Saturday was also packed: from 11:00 a.m. the Vintage Market opened again, and a DJ provided the musical accompaniment until evening. The highlights of the day were the line dance shows and the appearances of "Shotgun Jones" and "The Eis Boys". At 7:30 p.m. the best US classic cars were awarded, which provided many radiant faces with the lovers of the classic vehicles.

on Sunday the event ended with a flea market and various dance show performances, while the guests were able to browse to their heart's content. The parking situation was ideal for American classic cars and motorcycles, so that everyone could park their greasy bolide well.

various dealers and service providers

The festival was not only a joy festival for the ears, but also a paradise for shopping lovers. A large number of dealers offered their goods, including clothing stands such as Killerkirsche and Suicide Monkeys as well as craftsmanship by Jerry’s Leathercraft and Vickys Manufaktur. Tattoo artists were also present, so that creativity was not neglected.

Analogous to the great events in other cities, such as the spontaneous rockabilly festival "Race 61" in Brandenburg, which takes place parallel in the aviation museum, the passion for historical vehicles and the rockabilly culture was also shown in Sonneberg. "It is becoming more and more an international meeting point for fans from all over Europe", such as "https://www.maenner-in-midlife-crisis.de/oldtimer-bikes-und-volle-beim-Race-61-Das-Rockabilly-Festival-Sextra-and Class = "Source_3"> Maenner-in-Midlife-crisis.de is described.

summarized, the Rockabilly weekend in Sonneberg shows impressively that this cultural encounter continues to meet great interest. It is not only a festival for enthusiasts, but also a celebration of the diversity and community that bring Rockabilly and Oldtimer vehicles together.
