Full Carrot Open - OPEN AIR at the festival grounds in Sehlem, July 3rd and 4th, 2026
Volle Möhre Open Air Combination Ticket - Sehlem, Festplatz
The opening act on Friday, July 3, 2026 will be the Cologne bands Miljö and die Höhner. A third band is still in the planning stages.
The Höhner are alongside the Bläck Fööss (guests at the first Volle Möhre in 2025) the most famous Cologne music group. Since their founding in 1972, they have significantly shaped the music scene in Cologne and beyond. Their most famous songs include "Ich bin ene Räuber," "Blootwoosch, Kölsch un e lecker Mädche," as well as the widely known "Viva Colonia" and "Schenk mir dein Herz" beyond the borders of Cologne.
The Miljö Band represents the new Cologne music – during Carnival, but not only. The band members, born in 1985/86, have known each other since their school days in Holweide. So far, three albums and eight singles have been released by the band. With carnival hits like "Su lang die Leechter noch brenne," "Wolkeplatz," or "Kölsch statt Käsch," Miljö gained popularity. But even outside the season, they perform a concert almost every weekend.
*****************
It continues on Saturday, July 4, 2026 with more musical delights.
Mountain Crew – The Boyband from the Alps "The currently hottest lederhosen band wakes you up like espresso and hits hard like Chianti" – this is how Florian Silbereisen describes the Mountain Crew from Upper Austria. The five charismatic lads around singer and former Mister Austria Philipp Rafetseder stand for lederhosen rock n roll that gets hearts and hips moving alike. What started as a school band without casting shows and record deals is now one of the most popular bands in the German-speaking world. With their millions of clicks on TikTok and songs like "Ab auf die Piste," "Octopus (100,000 Hands)," "Expresso & Tschianti," or "Katharina," they captivate fans of all ages – on social media as well as at over 100 live performances a year.
The Spider Murphy Gang
Every German can name two phone numbers as if shot from a pistol. Of course, the emergency number 110. And of course, the 32 16 8. This is the Munich connection of Rosie, and the Spider Murphy Gang made this number public. "Skandal im Sperrbezirk" was a huge hit in the early 1980s, and the Spiders, as fans affectionately call them, are still on stages across the republic with this and many other hits ("Wo bist du," "Ich schau dich an").
The Schwabing boys demonstrate with this concert that they are not just a plain pop band or new German wave combo. Their search for roots begins at the start of the 20th century and harmonizes wonderfully with some of their own hits. Therefore, one finds not only the tried and tested songs of the Spiders but also Elvis, Chuck Berry, Hank Williams, as well as Canned Heat or Rocco Granata. This is remarkable for the band, as they originally emerged as a traditional and puristic rock’n’roll band.

The Westernhagen Tribute & Double Show No.1
There are some very good Westernhagen tribute bands in Germany, where you can feel the real feeling of WESTERNHAGEN when you close your eyes – but there is only ONE where you don't lose that feeling when you open your eyes again!
The MARIUZZ show has set new qualitative standards since its launch in 2012 in a short time. The visual and musical similarity is sensational – even well-known original WESTERNHAGEN studio and tour musicians like Charly Terstappen, Jay Stapley, Markus Wienstroer, Raoul Walton, Della Miles, and others gladly accompany the Westernhagen double MARIUZZ on special occasions as the first and only Westernhagen tribute act exclusively.
You really can't get any closer to the original!!
Doors open: at 17:45 each
