The forerunner of "Münster Mittendrin" was the Eurocityfest, which also offered three days of live music acts on several stages in the city center from 2000 to 2011. However, due to financing issues, the festival was discontinued for the time being after 2011. It was then continued from 2015 under the current name "Münster Mittendrin".
