Rock under the Castle: A summery open-air evening with a family feeling and handmade sound
On August 14, 2026, the Kurpark in Aschau i.Chiemgau transforms into a relaxed festival stage for rock fans, families, and summer outings. The open-air Rock under the Castle starts according to the event announcement at 5:00 PM and aims for a deliberately approachable, regionally rooted festival experience with free admission.
A festival with heart, Kurpark charm, and regional DNA
Rock under the Castle stands for a festival atmosphere without artificial distance: short distances, green backdrop, open mood, and an audience that wants to enjoy music outdoors. Coverage describes the event as a family-friendly open-air with handmade rock music, regional offerings, and a relaxed evening atmosphere in the Aschauer Kurpark. In 2024, a band setup with Mike Campese, Colour Line, Isleoftone Project, and Getting away with murders was also announced.

Open-Air feeling between stage, park, and alpine view
It is exactly this mix that makes the charm: A multi-day feeling may not be created, but the character of a small, lovingly organized summer festival is clearly palpable. The community meets in a relaxed environment, there is catering from regional providers, and a program that is deliberately designed to be intergenerational. Earlier announcements stated that food and drink would be provided and no minimum age was planned. ([webmail.hey.bayern](https://webmail.hey.bayern/events/381564?utm_source=openai))
Arrival, parking, and practical festival info
For the journey, regional coverage refers to the festival hall parking lot opposite the ice cellar; it is only a few minutes’ walk to the festival grounds from there. The Kampenwand FAQ also mentions paid parking options at the valley station of the Kampenwand cable car at An der Bergbahn 8, 83229 Aschau. This makes the journey manageable and straightforward.
