Tream fills Munich square with oversized village festival

Upper Palatinate musician Tream drew more than 20,000 people to Munich’s Königsplatz square for the finale of his open air tour, BR reported. The concert combined wheat beer and hip hop, brass music and party pop, but had to be interrupted several times because of the heat.

Nearly 400,000 people follow Tream on Instagram, while Spotify lists around 2.8 million monthly listeners. In just a few years, Timo Grabinger from Büchelkühn near Schwandorf has become one of Bavaria’s most widely followed musicians.

Friday’s concert was the final date of his Zur Weißbier Probe Tour 2026. It was also the largest show of the tour, with performers including Bausa, Gzuz, Mia Julia, Blümchen, Kati K and Marc Eggers.

Brass music meets party pop

The gates opened shortly after 4 p.m. in temperatures above 30 degrees Celsius. Fans in traditional Bavarian clothing and football shirts rushed onto the square. To open the concert, Tream had his backing singer perform the Bavarian anthem, with the lyrics displayed on LED screens.

The combination of rap and party pop, electronic beats and brass music is central to Tream’s success. He describes himself as Germany’s first schlager rapper. In May, his album Stammtischparolen reached the top of the German album charts for the first time. The previous year, he sold out Munich’s Olympiahalle three times in a row.

At the concert, Tream appeared in an ermine cape and was presented as the “King of Bavaria”, towering above the audience. On the third song, Jasmin Wagner, known as Blümchen, joined him on stage, creating what BR described as a 1990s television moment against the square’s classical backdrop.

Concert interrupted repeatedly because of heat

Tream repeatedly stopped the show after people in the audience collapsed. “People kept getting knocked out. The sun was also responsible,” he said after the concert. He said he had interrupted the performance and helped whenever something happened.

One song was ultimately removed from the set list. “The main thing is that the people are doing well. That is the most important thing,” Tream said.

The concert ended on a more emotional note after pyrotechnics, a light show and the party atmosphere. Tream thanked those who had attended and said he was moved and close to tears.

He said he had planned a surprise for the Gäubodenvolksfest in Straubing, which was still running until Monday, but did not reveal what it would be.
