The Blue Bird Festival, which usually takes place in November at Porgy & Bess, invited people to a wonderful summer party at Augartenspitz – with lots of music, of course!
I had already discovered this wonderful spot for concerts in the pandemic summer of 2020, and now I was finally able to return there. The reason for my visit once more: the Blue Bird summer festival. And because I knew it was worth being there early, I was in this green oasis as soon as I got in and secured a table for myself and my friends.
Until the spectacle began and until my friends all arrived, half an eternity passed and a fight for every chair that I kept free. This garden at the Augartenspitz was increasingly flooded with people looking for a place to sit and I was the toxic person who just didn’t want to give up a chair. But the “fight” was worth it, at some point all my friends actually arrived and we waited excitedly for the musical start of the summer festival.
and at some point it came “the zew“ on the small stage under the tree and opened the summer evening. The wind blew through her hair as she gently breathed her songs into the microphone. She supported her voice with a guitar and loop station, and with painted eyes on her cheeks she supported her mystical appearance. I liked what I heard, but I didn’t like that the people around them were chatting the whole time they were performing. That ruined the mood and I mightn’t always immerse myself in the set as much as I wanted…
next was “maiijaIt was her turn – she presented us with her plaintive, intense indie songs. I think in a dark setting their sound creations would have been really wonderful, but in this warm summer evening sunset scenario I sometimes felt too happy to visit their slightly sad world. Nevertheless, I was happy to have finally seen her live – just a few days before she had an appearance at Popfest, which I had missed, and I was even happier that our paths finally crossed.
It was pretty crazy: “can“ entered the stage with her guitar, started the first song and immediately spread a pleasantly warm feeling. Of course, I personally had been familiar with her music for a long time and that might of course be the origin of my impression, but even my friends who didn’t know her immediately felt a kind of comfort. But even better: I think all the visitors had a real wow moment because everyone was suddenly quiet when “Oska” performed her beautiful songs.
I really have to say that her performance was really magical. Of course, it got darker and darker and the fairy lights became more and more effective than at the previous performances. But still, it was her personality, her great humor and the lovely songs that really enchanted us all. I don’t think fairy lights alone can do that.
The Blue Bird Summer Festival was slowly coming to an end and I felt very happy. As has often been the case, I was thrilled by this beautiful place – but in combination with the musical program, it was of course a jackpot. Hopefully this beautiful festival will take place every year now!
