Machtum will host the 11th annual Rock de Schleek event on Friday 16 August 2019, organised by the Union des Jeunes Meechtem, featuring talented bands, a great atmosphere and a unique location.

The festival gives local artists the opportunity to play their music on stage at the “Schliikeplatz” in the heart of Machtum, located on the banks of the Moseelle river, between Echternach and Wormeldange.

The Rock de Schleek is organised during the annual “Wäin-happening” in Machtum, with an art exhibition and official opening on Wednesday 14 August. After the Rock de Schleek on the Friday, the “25th Wäischmaachen” takes place on Saturday morning - part of the 14th German-Luxembourgish event organised together with Macttm's neighbours from Germany: visitors can take the boat that connects both villages on both sides of the Moselle river.

This year there will be an interesting music-mix, with something for everyone, including the Luxembourgish band Mad Fox, as well as Trappers (LU), Mit Ohne Strom (DE), Kramsky (DE), Hybridism (LU), Scars on Louise (BE) and Mallows (LU).

Tickets cost €5 (presale - see https://www.facebook.com/rock.deschleek) or €10 on the door.

Entrance opens at 18:00.

A shuttle bus will run until 02:00 between Machtum-Grevenmacher-Machtem-Remich.

A barbecue will be in operation, as well as dishes with noodles and homemade sauce, and drinks on sale include beer, cider, crémant and wine.
