Rabatz & Rabauken-Festival - Residenzschloss Ludwigsburg

In the organizer's words:

The kids want to rock! All children and their families will have the opportunity to do so on July 31, 2025 at the second Kids Open-Air with the hit giants HEAVYSAURUS and the Kool Katz!

HEAVYSAURUS are four dinosaurs and a dragon who bring rock music for the whole family to the stage - a real live experience with child-friendly lyrics and a bombastic show!

In the summer of 2025, powerful riffs, great melodies and rousing drum beats can be heard, to which the little (or big) listeners can sing and dance as they please. Real rock music, sometimes wild, sometimes quiet, with lyrics that are as catchy as they are charming.

"It's always been important to us to make rock music and heavy metal fun for children," explains singer Mr. Heavysaurus. "We are happy to be able to offer some of our little fans their very first concert experience! Everyone in the band has loved live music for, well, 65 million years. It's great when our little friends enjoy it just as much." The "real" Tyrannosaurus Rex adds with his usual self-confidence: "And of course we want to win the hearts of all metal fans. Parents, grandparents and older siblings also have fun with us.

KOOL KATZ - Rock`n` Roll for cool kids!
Ben Bengal, Sunny Siam, Don Sphynx and Billy Bombay are the Kool Katz . And these cool cats play rock'n'roll with real 50's flair. With stand-up drums, double bass and the typical rousing guitar sound of great role models such as the "Stray Cats", the Kool Katz make their performances a real experience for their young audience and their parents. The quality of the songs leans heavily on the originals of the 50s and is also deliberately intended to pick up on references so that young fans can experience access to organic rock music. As an alternative to hip-hop and dance, the Kool Katz bring real live musicians back on stage and show kids up to the age of 12 a world of music that is still completely new to them.

The Kool Katz take their fans on a journey to the 50s and rock'n'roll, but always with contemporary, child-friendly lyrics and a positive message.

Info for parents:
The concerts take place at 3 p.m. and at an adjusted volume. There is a separate children's area in front of the stage with the best view for the little ones too. And don't worry: the dinosaurs don't bite.
