StrandGut Sessions: Open Air im StrandGut Resort St. Peter-Ording

Sand beneath your feet, the endless horizon, and the feeling of being able to truly unwind—it's only logical that a place as special as St. Peter-Ording is not only a wonderful vacation destination, but also inspires musicians to create new works.

It all started years ago with Johannes Oerding. Many of his songs were written at the StrandGut Resort. We have since become a real home away from home for him and many other musician friends, and we have developed a very special friendship with all of them. The evenings (and nights) when one or the other of them took over the bar and mixed a few drinks together with our crew are also unforgettable.  

Anyway, now the musicians come not only for the good drinks, but also to give a small, intimate live concert once a year at our StrandGut Sessions on Germany's most beautiful natural stage. In 2026, the following artists will be performing: Johannes Oerding, Wincent Weiss, Max Giesinger, Beyond the Black, and Wolfgang Niedecken (BAP) with his band. Our popular Family Day for young and old with free admission will also take place again – Wilhelmine and Lina Bó are already confirmed as the first acts.

We are incredibly proud to be able to host our StrandGut Sessions with such a lineup of renowned artists. And all this in St. Peter-Ording, in such a small, intimate space. SPO has never seen anything like it!

Hotel rooms can be booked separately via our online booking tool from December 15, 2025.

General information

Out artists this year

We kick things off on Sunday with a Family Day for young and old alike, featuring music and entertainment. Wilhelmine and Lina Bó are already confirmed as the first acts, with more to follow. Admission is free on this day!

On Monday, look forward to Wincent Weiss, where the concert evening will be an open-air summer party with hits such as “Musik sein,” “Feuerwerk,” “Wer wenn nicht wir,” and new songs.

On Tuesday, Johannes Oerding, now one of Germany's biggest stars, awaits you. All of his released albums have gone at least gold, and most of them have gone multi-platinum. The concert at the StrandGut Sessions will be a very special experience for everyone, as Oerding hardly ever plays in front of such a small audience.

On Wednesday, Max Giesinger will take his audience on a road trip full of new sounds with his new album “Glück auf den Strassen” (Happiness on the Streets). The title track exudes the lightness of summer and, like all the other songs on the album, is perfect for experiencing live together under the open sky.

On Thursday, Beyond The Black will take to the stage. The band, fronted by singer Jennifer Haben, has been thrilling fans worldwide for years. Following their self-titled album Beyond The Black (No. 2 on the German album charts, 2023), the band toured internationally, including Australia, New Zealand, and Latin America, and played at festivals such as Wacken Open Air, Hellfest, and Graspop. 2025 will be dominated by their sixth studio album Break The Silence, which will be released on January 9, 2026. With powerful metal anthems, emotional ballads, and an exclusive live setup, Beyond The Black promises an unforgettable concert experience.

On Saturday, we look forward to Wolfgang Niedecken (BAP) with his band. One of Germany's greatest artists will be playing a unique, very special evening with his band, the likes of which has never been seen before. A must-see for all Niedecken & BAP fans. After Wolfgang Niedecken played a selection of songs from his solo program “Dylanreise & zwischen Start und Ziel” together with pianist Mike Herting at the StrandGut Sessions in 2024, he will be back in 2026 with a large ensemble. This time with songs from his huge repertoire, with which he and his band BAP are going on their 50th anniversary tour “Die Zielgerade” (The Home Stretch). Of course, all the classics and hits will be there – ballads such as “Du kanns zaubre” and “Paar Daach fröher” to rock songs such as “Nemm mich met,” “Waschsalon,” and, of course, “Verdamp lang her.”

Wincent Weiss

Wincent Weiss will be performing on numerous stages across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland during his big summer tour in 2026. He will be coming to our StrandGut Sessions in St. Peter-Ording for an exclusive show, where you can expect an evening full of favorite songs, goosebump moments, and danceable beats. With hits such as “Musik sein,” “Feuerwerk,” “Wer wenn nicht wir” and new songs in tow, the concert evening will be an open-air musical summer party. His album “Irgendwo Ankommen,” released in 2023, was an intense step toward finding himself—noticeable in every song, measurable in millions of streams and followers. But what Wincent really loves are live moments. When songs create connections. When strangers in the crowd become friends. When the stage and the audience become one. Photo: Sebastian Balz

Johannes Oerding

Over the course of his 20-year career, Johannes Oerding has proven that he stands for continuity and musical quality like no other: all of his albums have achieved at least gold status, many of them even multiple platinum. His seventh album, “Plan A,” released in 2023, went straight to number one in the German charts, and the accompanying tour in 2023 marked the highlight of his live career to date. With his new album, “Hotel,” Johannes Oerding is now opening a new chapter—full of energy, emotion, and musical diversity. Anyone who has seen him live knows that his unmistakable voice, charismatic stage presence, and special connection with his audience make every concert a unique experience. And anyone who knows Johannes knows that he can't wait to share his new songs with his fans at the 2026 Summer Open Airs! The concert at the StrandGut Sessions will be a very special experience for everyone, because Oerding hardly ever plays in front of such a small audience anymore. Photo: Yvonne Goldschmidt

Max Giesinger

With his new album “Glück auf den Strassen” (Happiness on the Streets), Max Giesinger takes his audience on a road trip full of new sounds to the origins of the motivation that inspired him to make music. The title track exudes the lightness of summer and, like all the other songs on the album, is perfect for experiencing live together under the open sky. At the same time, 2026 will mark the 10th anniversary of his single “80 Millionen” and his album “Der Junge, der rennt,” which helped him break through—so wonderful summer evenings full of emotion are in store. We have already had the pleasure of presenting Max Giesinger twice at our StrandGut Sessions. And because it was so wonderful, we are bringing him back in 2026. Photo: Christoph Köstlin

Beyond the Black

The band Beyond the Black, fronted by singer Jennifer Haben, has been thrilling fans worldwide for years. Following their self-titled album Beyond The Black (No. 2 on the German album charts, 2023), the band toured internationally, including Australia, New Zealand, and Latin America, and played at festivals such as Wacken Open Air, Hellfest, and Graspop. 2025 will be dominated by their sixth studio album Break The Silence, which will be released on January 9, 2026. With powerful metal anthems, emotional ballads, and an exclusive live setup, Beyond The Black promises an unforgettable concert experience.

Wilhelmine

Wilhelmine is one of the most impressive voices in German-language pop. Growing up in a squat in Berlin-Kreuzberg, she is characterized by an openness and honesty that is reflected in all her songs. Her music combines organic pop sounds with emotional depth—sometimes delicate, sometimes powerful, always authentic. Themes such as healing, female rage, empowerment, and solidarity run like a thread through her work. After her top 10 debut album Wind and the acclaimed follow-up Meere, she supported Coldplay and Maggie Rogers on stage and played sold-out headlining tours. With her approachable manner, Wilhelmine manages to silence entire halls or get them singing along, always establishing a deep connection with her audience. Photo: Eric Joel

Lina Bó

Lina Bó ... Rhineland-Cuban temperament meets Danish Flensburg serenity. The songs are sometimes melancholic, sometimes danceable, full of joie de vivre and optimism. South American exoticism mixed with German folk pop is reminiscent of the best times of Zaz and Manu Chaos. The band stands for peace and respect, against war and intolerance, for joie de vivre and hope. Lina Bó are Lina (Celina von Wrochem) and Bó (Luca Bo Hansen). They met in 2018 while studying music at Artez in the Netherlands and have been making music together ever since. Photo: Marcel Brell
