Bochum Total

In the organizer's words:

absolutely, for better or worse, without exception, exclusively, to the bottom, to the last, throughout, throughout, completely, fundamentally, in every respect, to the fullest extent, without gaps, all around, over and over, unconditionally, unreservedly, fully, completely, totally, utterly, completely, from top to toe, from head to toe, from top to bottom.... (Duden)

Four days of festival in Bochum. Free of charge.
That's the idea behind Bochum Total.

The Bermuda3Eck Bochum will also be rocking in 2025. Since 1986, Bochum Total, one of the biggest music festivals in Europe with several hundred thousand visitors, has been taking place for four days every summer in Bochum's legendary pub district.

Bochum Total is first and foremost a festival that presents progressive and original music. When selecting the bands, it is important that they pursue their own musical approach as far as possible. Stylistically, the spectrum ranges from jazz to hard rock. The music must always be played live.

Bochum Total does not see itself as a festival where only big names are presented, but rather as a platform for musical experiments and borderline experiences. It goes without saying that professional standards are a prerequisite.
