In Extremo - “Carpe Noctem - Burgentour 2026” - Support: Rauhbein

Esslingen is a charming town whose life seems to revolve around its castle and compact historic centre, filled with inviting cafés and churches.

Like most other dates on the “Burgentour 2026”, the opening night had attracted a full house.
