Antenne Bayern Keeps Its Word: Schoolyard Gig at Schongau Gymnasium Next Week

TVS News AI, editorially supervised, presents Antenne Bayern Keeps Its Word: Schoolyard Gig at Schongau Gymnasium Next Week.

About three months after the rampage at Welfen-Gymnasium in Schongau, Antenne Bayern is keeping its word: Next week, the announced schoolyard gig will take place at the nearby sports field. At the school's express request, only students of the Gymnasium are invited.

According to Merkur, during the rampage in July, a 16-year-old former student at Welfen-Gymnasium seriously injured two girls with a knife. The town was in shock. Shortly afterwards, Antenne Bayern ran a schoolyard gig campaign with online voting – the Schongau Gymnasium climbed higher in the rankings day by day. In the end, the school was removed from the voting because it said itself: So soon after the attack, we are not yet ready for a concert.

"A Promise Is a Promise" – Antenne Bayern Delivers on Its Autumn Pledge

But Antenne Bayern already assured the school at the time that there would be a separate concert in Schongau in the autumn. "A promise is a promise," the radio station says in its press release. Next week, the time has come. On which specific day the concert will take place, the station is not saying publicly for security reasons.

20 to 30 Minutes on the Sports Field, Then Back to Class

Because the schoolyard of the Gymnasium is not suitable for a concert stage, Antenne Bayern is moving to the nearby sports field. Which artist will perform there, the radio station does not say in advance of its schoolyard gigs as a matter of principle. At past concerts, German-speaking artists whose songs regularly play on Antenne Bayern typically took the stage. The gig is to last around 20 to 30 minutes – after which the students go straight back to class.
