Beats out the Bus inspires 1,500 partygoers in Degerloch!

On June 20, 2025, the “Beats out the Bus” event took place on Agnes-Kneher-Platz in Degerloch as part of “The New Agnes”. Around 1,500 visitors experienced a liveliness that permanently enlivened the square. District leader Colyn Heinze welcomed the guests and was pleased about the great interest in this event, which was intended to increase its attractiveness for young people. The mobile stage and the professional sound system, which consisted of a converted ice cream truck, contributed to the special atmosphere of the event. DJ sets from Liroy von Techtation, Marius Lehnert, Couldbeolga and Yota created an exuberant atmosphere on the square, which quickly turned into a hotspot for music and dance.

However, the unexpectedly high crowds were a challenge. There was a shortage of beer, which led to spontaneous errands in the surrounding supermarkets. Despite these difficulties, the mood of the visitors remained positive, and the combination of good music and dancing people made the event an experience. The feedback after the event was mostly positive and shows that such initiatives are necessary to revitalize city life.

Versatile weekend in Stuttgart

The event was part of a fun-filled weekend in Stuttgart, which featured an extended holiday and pleasant weather. An extensive entertainment program took place parallel to the event. In addition to “Beats out the Bus”, there were various cultural offerings on Friday, such as concerts and workshops in the StadtPalais, in memory of “World Refugee Day”. The COLORS International Dance Festival and other festivals such as “La Casa del Perreo” also offered a wide range of attractions.

Particularly noteworthy was the arts program, which included several performing arts offerings. For example, an art performance entitled “Pierrot” took place at the Württemberg Art Association. In addition, different styles of music and genres were presented in different locations around the city, making a simple “nightlife” a far-reaching cultural experience.

The next events, such as “Viertel in the Quarter” on July 18, 2025, promise more exciting experiences for visitors. A mini wine village with local winemakers will transform Agnes-Kneher-Platz into a lively center again.

Such initiatives and events are crucial to promote social cohesion and further enrich Stuttgart's cultural landscape. The positive response to “Beats out the Bus” gives hope that future events will achieve similar success. You can find more information about these events at Stuttgarter Nachrichten and Reflect.
