Crowd and atmosphere
Formerly known for a very young crowd and non-traditional music, the tent was trying to become a little more traditional in 2022. Therefore, Ludwig-Thoma-Musikanten, who have been the tent's band since 1972, were replaced by the very renowned Blaskapelle Josef Menzl, is acknowledged for its wild Bavarian beer hall music. Unfortunately, Hacker-Pschorr didn't give the new band enough age to win over a new, more traditional crowd and started using a party band for the evenings after only five days.

Two men kissing or women holding hands are completely normal there. Tolerance is an essential measure of the peacefulness of the Wiesn," says Wiesn boss Clemens Baumgärtner.
