Amy Macdonald brings powerful Scottish folk-pop to SummerStage in Landshut
Amy Macdonald will perform on 11 August 2026 at 20:00 at SummerStage in Messepark Landshut. The concert is the closing night of this year's SummerStage series, which takes place outdoors from 7 to 11 August. Following performances by Max Giesinger, Ben Zucker and Howard Carpendale, the stage will be taken over by the Scottish singer-songwriter whose combination of folk-rock, pop and narrative songwriting has been easily recognisable to European audiences for almost two decades.
Amy Macdonald comes to Landshut during an active phase of her career, following her sixth studio album, "Is This What You've Been Waiting For?", and the tour associated with it. A combination of new songs and classics has been announced, with Blair Davie as the supporting act.
Tickets for this event are currently on sale.

Why Amy Macdonald remains so recognisable
Amy Macdonald's career is strongly associated with the songs "This Is The Life" and "Mr. Rock & Roll" from her 2007 debut album. Clear melodies, acoustic guitar, a rhythm capable of carrying a large audience and an instantly recognisable voice became her signature. Singles such as "Don't Tell Me That It's Over", "Slow It Down", "Dream On" and "The Hudson" later expanded that sound towards a fuller pop-rock arrangement.
BMG reports more than 12 million releases sold, over one billion streams and performances in front of more than five million people. Those figures explain why Macdonald can perform equally convincingly in a theatre auditorium, an arena or on a summer stage. Her songs contain enough detail for attentive listening, but also choruses that work when sung together by several thousand people.
Germany is one of her most stable European markets, and BMG highlights two number-one albums in the country. Landshut is therefore a logical part of a broader summer series of performances for an audience that knows her well.
A new career phase and the album "Is This What You've Been Waiting For?"
The sixth studio album was released on 11 July 2025 through BMG and Infectious Records. It reached number eight on the UK Albums Chart, while reaching number one on the Scottish chart. The album contains ten songs and continues her combination of acoustic folk-pop, anthemic rock and direct storytelling, but with production adapted for larger stages.
The title track establishes an energetic tone, while "Can You Hear Me?" emphasises the connection between the performer and the audience. The album also includes "Forward", "We Survive" and "I'm Done (Games That You Play)". It has not been confirmed which songs will be performed in Landshut, but the new album is clearly at the centre of the current repertoire.
For visitors who know her primarily from her first album, it is important that her current concert identity connects the early choruses with new material written for large audiences. The evening should therefore not be a retrospective, but rather a cross-section of the current and earlier phases of her career.
What the audience can expect from the performance
The specific set list for Landshut has not been published, so the order of the songs, the duration of the concert or the encore should not be assumed in advance. The organiser nevertheless states that the programme will combine songs from the new album with classics. This means that it is most reasonable to expect a cross-section of her career rather than a performance of only one album.
Amy Macdonald usually builds her live performances around her voice, acoustic guitar and a solid backing band. In the more intimate sections, the arrangement leaves enough space for the lyrics and melody, while in the faster songs the sound expands into a full pop-rock concert. "Mr. Rock & Roll" and "This Is The Life" remain the songs that best demonstrate why her catalogue works so well outdoors: they are rhythmic, instantly recognisable and do not require a complex stage narrative to energise the audience.
The newer material brings a broader emotional range. "Forward" has an optimistic momentum, "We Survive" offers a darker perspective on everyday life, while "Can You Hear Me?" naturally calls for an audience response. That transition between a personal tone and a large chorus is also appealing to listeners outside the folk-rock scene.
Tickets for this event are in demand, particularly because Landshut is one of the additional summer dates following a very well-received tour associated with the new album.
Blair Davie as the supporting act
The evening will be opened by Blair Davie, a Scottish singer-songwriter with emotionally direct lyrics, indie-pop melodies and an acoustic approach. The opening set therefore remains close to Amy Macdonald's contemporary singer-songwriter pop.
The starting time of the supporting act's performance has not been announced separately in the available information. Since the doors open at 18:30, arriving shortly after opening provides enough time for the security check, finding a place and following the entire programme without rushing.
Who the concert is particularly intended for
Long-standing fans will have the opportunity to hear a catalogue spanning from her breakthrough in 2007 to the current album. For a broader audience, this is an accessible concert because Macdonald does not rely on experimental arrangements or familiarity with lesser-known songs. Her music lies between radio pop, folk-rock and the classic singer-songwriter format.
The concert could be particularly interesting for:
- audiences who remember "This Is The Life", "Mr. Rock & Roll" and "Dream On"
- listeners who enjoy performers such as Travis, Bruce Springsteen and the contemporary British singer-songwriter scene
- visitors who prefer a real band, guitar and a powerful vocal instead of production focused primarily on choreography
- those who want a summer open-air concert with a repertoire familiar enough for singing together, but also featuring new material
The organiser's age rules state that children under the age of six are not allowed to enter the event. German youth protection regulations apply to other underage visitors, so families should check the accompaniment requirements and any documents that may be required before arriving.
Messepark as a concert venue
Messepark Landshut is located at Niedermayerstraße 100, east of the city's historic centre. The complex has a fenced area of 60,000 square metres, divided into nine fields equipped with infrastructure, as well as approximately 1,000 parking spaces beside the venue. SummerStage uses this large outdoor complex as a temporary concert location.
For the audience, this means a different atmosphere from that of a traditional arena. Outdoors, there is no ceiling to retain the sound and heat, and the experience depends on the stage setup, sound system, weather and position within the venue. The organisers have not published a specific capacity for the Amy Macdonald concert configuration, so the number of visitors should not be inferred from the total size of the exhibition complex.
Messepark can accommodate a large production without the feeling of an enclosed sports hall. Amy Macdonald's main strengths are her voice, band and choruses suited to an outdoor space. For a clearer view and a greater sense of proximity, it is worth arriving earlier.
It is advisable to secure tickets in good time.
Arriving by car and public transport
The address for navigation is Niedermayerstraße 100, 84036 Landshut. Approximately 1,000 parking spaces are listed beside Messepark, but the availability of individual zones may change because of the stage, technical production, security corridors and the arrival of several thousand visitors. Drivers should plan additional time for entering the event area and leaving after the concert. The closest parking space is not necessarily the fastest option after the programme ends.
Messepark is connected by city buses, and the current network includes daytime and evening routes connecting the Niedermayerstraße area with the city centre and the main railway station. According to the network plan, daytime bus services operate until approximately 20:30, after which evening routes take over. Because timetables and temporary changes may vary, connections for arrival and return should be checked on the day of the concert in the Stadtwerke Landshut or MVV applications.
Visitors arriving by train should reach Landshut Hauptbahnhof sufficiently early, continue by bus towards Messepark and check the final evening connection. A taxi is an alternative, although demand may be higher after the concert.
- Enter the full address into the navigation system, not only the name Messepark.
- For public transport, check both daytime and evening routes.
- Do not rely on arriving only a few minutes before the start.
- Agree on a meeting point with your group before entering, because the mobile network may be congested.
- For the return journey by train, leave a time buffer between the end of the concert and the departure.
Entry rules and preparation for an open-air evening
The organiser requests that visitors do not bring bags, backpacks, handbags or helmets larger than DIN A4 size. The recommendation is to bring only essential items such as a telephone, keys, wallet, medication and basic cosmetics in a small bag. The bag-size rule is particularly important because returning items to a car or accommodation may mean losing time and missing the beginning of the programme.
As this is an outdoor concert, clothing should be adapted to the actual forecast for the evening, rather than only to the daytime temperature. It may become noticeably cooler after sunset, while a summer shower can quickly change the ground conditions. The type of permitted rain protection and other items should be checked in the organiser's latest safety information. Umbrellas at large concerts often obstruct the view and may be restricted, so they should not be brought without checking in advance.
The exact duration of the performance, finishing time and any possible breaks have not been announced. Visitors who depend on public transport should therefore have a backup plan for their return journey. Entry at 18:30 leaves enough time for the security check, orientation within the venue and Blair Davie's performance before the main part of the evening.
Landshut before and after the concert
Visitors arriving earlier can combine the concert with a short tour of Landshut's historic centre. The city is known for the long axis of the Altstadt, Burg Trausnitz castle above the city and St. Martin's Basilica, which has the tallest brick tower in the world. Messepark is not located in the old town itself, so separate time should be reserved for sightseeing before continuing towards Niedermayerstraße.
A meal and sightseeing are best planned before heading to the venue. The concert takes place on a Tuesday, so the opening hours of museums, restaurants and shops should be checked individually. Landshut is connected by train with Munich, Regensburg and other Bavarian destinations.
The most important things before departure
Check your ticket, the current forecast, the bag rules and the return connection before heading towards Messepark. Arrive earlier because of the supporting act and the security check. Do not assume that every well-known song will be performed, because the final set list has not been published. What has been confirmed is a concert focused on the current album and classics, with Blair Davie as the supporting act, on the closing night of SummerStage.
