Schützenlisl

Schützenlisl is Oide Wiesn's new folk singer tent, which replaced Schönheitskönigin in 2022. The tent's host is Lorenz Stiftl, who ran the small tent Zum Stiftl starting in 2008 and the Winderwald tent starting in 2002.

He has been trying to be promoted to the folk singer tent's host since 2016, which was even too long to keep his Schützenlisl trademark without using it. Quite ironically, he received his new Oktoberfest license just as the brand was gone.

Visually, not a lot was new with the change of name and host. Stiftl acquired the Schönheitskönigin tent from the construction firm that owned and leased it to the Schönheitskönigin's landlords.

Music Program and Ambience

The program director is Traudi Siferlinger (“Wirtshausmusikanten”). She has brought together 22 artists and groups for her 2024 program. She divides the day into two segments, one with different groups and folk singers from 11 am to 6 pm and the evening band afterwards. Bast Scho performs most frequently in the evening, with eight dates. In the past, the Josef Menzl band (three dates) and the Kaiserschmarrn band (two evening dates, one in the afternoon) have also caused a sensation.

Due to the large number of artists who also perform in the tent in the afternoon, it is best to look up the program in the program booklet. To make it easier to sing along, especially in the afternoon, we also recommend taking a look at the song booklet.

The new tent didn't quite live up to the high expectations, as Schönheitkönigin was probably the loudest tent of the Oktoberfest. Nowhere else could you hear as many people sing along. Still, the tent is significantly more lively than Festzelt Tradition.
