An example from 2025: Valar, the Slovak medieval folk band, enriched the Steinfurt Ting with traditional instruments and captivating melodies, carrying the audience back in time. Known for high-energy performances, Valar blends historical sounds with modern joy of playing.
For 2026, the music lineup is in progress. Valar is shown here as an example of the kind of bands we may invite — but it is not confirmed yet. We’ll announce the confirmed acts as soon as everything is set.
