This week, the time has finally come: our beloved Radio Blau is celebrating its 30th birthday!
This Wednesday marks exactly 30 years since we first went on air via FM.
You’ll hear all about what’s happened over the years in a colorful broadcast featuring many longtime companions — from 5 to 9 p.m. on DAB+ and via livestream, and from 6 to 9 p.m. on FM. Afterwards, the show will be available for 7 days in our media library.

Starting at 5 p.m., we’re also throwing an open house, where you can watch us broadcast live, check out our studios, raise a glass with us, maybe grab a little snack or some stickers and postcards, pick up a T-shirt or tote bag, and meet past and present radio makers.

We’re looking forward to seeing you!

On Sunday, May 25, you’ll find us once again at the Connewitz Street Festival on Selneckerstraße.
We’ll be there from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. with a booth where you can ask us all your questions about Radio Blau, pick up T-shirts, tote bags, flyers, and stickers, and enjoy music from our DJs.

We’ll also be broadcasting live from the festival from 1 to 3 p.m., interviewing local Connewitz clubs, initiatives, and residents, and capturing the atmosphere.
And the team from Radio Inklusive will be joining us again as well.

So come by and say hello!

Radio Blau is celebrating its 30th birthday, and the no eXotik! no turistiK! radio show is somewhere between its 21st and 22nd year.
To mark the occasion, radioglobalistic showcased some musical gems. At the Markthalle Plagwitz, we danced and celebrated with the KNARF RELLÖM ARKESTRA from Hamburg and VIKTOR MAREK, also from Hamburg, as well as LES SOEURS DOGA from Burkina Faso — all blending sharp social critique (both local and global) with irresistibly funky grooves. It was a perfect match, and we want to thank everyone who came — and especially those who continue to support independent radio.
