KRAAN brings the unmistakable fusion sound to Ulmer Zelt
On May 25, 2026, an evening is on the program at Ulmer Zelt that connects German music history with a lively live atmosphere: KRAAN returns with a new album and a sound that has floated between rock, jazz, and funk for decades. The concert starts at 20:00, doors open at 19:30, and it will be standing room only. ([ulmerzelt.de](https://ulmerzelt.de/?mec-events=kraan))
A home game with history
KRAAN is one of the defining German fusion rock bands, celebrating 55 years of band history in 2026. The current lineup with Hellmut Hattler, Peter Wolbrandt, Jan Fride Wolbrandt, and Martin Kasper brings experience, joy of play, and enormous precision to the stage. The evening at Ulmer Zelt thus takes on the character of a real home game, as the band has been closely associated with the festival since the first tent year in 1987.

New album, classic pressure, large space
With All In, KRAAN will travel through the republic in 2026, focusing on their typical mix of weightless groove, virtuosic solos, and distinctive bass lines. Ulmer Zelt provides the perfect backdrop: close-up, concentrated, with that open acoustics and immediate audience atmosphere that makes large arrangements and improvised passages particularly impactful.

Friedrichsau, festival vibe, and short distances
The location is in Ulm's Friedrichsau at the festival grounds between Ulm Messe and the Danube. You can arrive on foot, by bicycle, via tram line 1 to Donauhalle, or by car; currently, Ulmer Zelt refers to the signage to Gate 4 for parking. Additionally, a barrier-free restroom is available on-site. ([ulmerzelt.de](https://ulmerzelt.de/?page_id=1189))

For those who love fusion rock, this is not a nostalgia program, but a concert experience filled with tension, dynamics, and improvisational freedom. The interplay of band history, festival location, and current material makes this evening a must-attend for everyone who appreciates precise sound and strong stage performance.
