South Bank at the Maschsee Festival

Program & Dining on the North Shore

Maschsee Stage

7:30 p.m. – 11:00 p.m.: Munique

Muniques’ trademark lies in their ability to break down, dissolve, and ultimately reassemble genre boundaries. From Afro to house, from ’90s to hip-hop, from R&B to pop, they manage to make every style their own. At the heart of their creative output is the desire to take the audience on an audiophile journey and, together with them, create a momentum that lingers in their hearts and minds long after the last note has faded.
