The World Famous Glenn Miller Orchestra - Bigband Battle 2027

With their classic big band lineup – 13 wind players and a rhythm section – the Glenn Miller Orchestra plays world hits like “In The Mood” and “Moonlight Serenade” in their original form in their ‘Best of Glenn Miller’ program. No playback. No effects. Only real musicians. Since 1985, the Glenn Miller Orchestra has been bringing the unmistakable melodies of Glenn Miller to the big stages of Europe: from Marseille to Budapest and from Stockholm to Rome. Everywhere they perform, something special happens: the exciting energy of their swing music fills the room. From the first to the last row and from the first to the last note. Since 2024, the leadership has been in the hands of Uli Plettendorff who has been part of the orchestra since 1987. Do you want to dream away? Sway along? Dance? Then the Glenn Miller Orchestra is exactly what you are looking for! Because the music of Glenn Miller is composed for immersive live performances. With their ‘Best of Glenn Miller’ program, they are on the road throughout Europe and parts of Asia: because they love to let the audience of today hear the sound of then and bring it to life again and again. The unique big band festival ‘Bigband Battle’ blows out five candles in 2027 and celebrates that in a big way with a new three-day edition. For this occasion, Bonheiden and Heist-op-den-Berg together form the beating heart of big band music. On Friday and Saturday, the concerts will take place in ’t Blikveld – Bonheiden. This concrete programming will only be announced later. But as an absolute icing on the cake, the festival welcomes none other than the The World Famous Glenn Miller Orchestra on Sunday, June 13, 2027, at 3 p.m. for an exceptional matinee concert in CC Zwaneberg (Heist-op-den-Berg).
