DIY Festival with Augsburg's scene, two stages and true Gaswerk flair

On September 12, 2026, AUXfest returns to the Gaswerk grounds in Augsburg and continues its young festival history with a clear signature: locally rooted, genre-open, loud and close to the community. The non-profit cultural association AUXwerk e.V. brings together emerging acts from rock, EDM, metal and the intersections between them at the second AUXfest based on donations. Doors open at 1 PM, and the sound starts at 1:30 PM.

A festival that makes Augsburg's music scene visible

AUXfest sees itself as a stage for local artists who rarely come together in this concentrated form. For the 2026 edition, AUXwerk e.V. announces a second open-air chapter, after the format debuted in 2025 with punk, rock, and metal as a DIY statement. The mixture of scene discovery, donation-based funding, and clear creator mentality gives the festival exactly the immediacy that small to medium-sized festivals make so special.

Two stages, more excitement, more dynamics

At the heart of the day are two stages: the extraordinary stage in the wall of the Musikbox and an additional second stage for more transitions, more tempo, and more variety. The program includes Venus Bleeding, Techno1d, Silent Misery, Andreas Kalb, Served Cold, Fluchtversuch, Tortuga, Tales of Tomorrow, Nave, Frachter, and Lovegun. The spectrum ranges from crust and grunge to drum & bass, metalcore, and deathcore, up to indie rock, emo-punk, and rap-rock-metal.

Open-air atmosphere with shelter in case of rain

The Gaswerk grounds provide the perfect backdrop: industrial flair, wide sightlines and a festival atmosphere that oscillates between rawness and community. In case of rain, there are plenty of covered spaces with views of the stages. This combination of weatherproof infrastructure and open-air energy creates a relaxed multi-day feel on just one intense festival day.

Travel, parking, and grounds

The venue is the Gaswerk in Augsburg-Oberhausen, accessible via the address Am Alten Gaswerk 8, 86156 Augsburg. According to Gaswerk information, the site is about 6 kilometers from the center. Suitable transport options include regional trains and tram as well as bus connections to Oberhausen Bhf, Bärenwirt/DRVs, Gaswerk or Auerstraße. Parking is not allowed on the remaining grounds; there is a parking garage at the main entrance and limited parking spaces on the adjacent August-Wessels-Straße.

Donation-based with reservation ticket

Admission is based on donations. Additionally, AUXwerk e.V. offers a reservation ticket for 15 euros plus fees. Those who buy this ticket support the festival and secure guaranteed entry in case of high demand. As a thank you, two free drinks are included. This combines community support with real planning for visitors.

Conclusion
