German term or phrase: Zeltbühnen
Gaffenberg Festival Ende Juni – Anfang Juli 4 Tage in wäldlicher Umgebung präsentieren internationale Künstler auf 4 Zeltbühnen ihr Können. Ebenfalls gibt es Kleinkunst vom Allerfeinsten, sowie Deftiges aus der Region

Auch das ist wieder aus einer Hotelinformation (Heilbronn).

Vielleicht war schon mal einer da, und weiß wie es ist. Das würde mir helfen. Spielen die Bands im Zelt, oder Ist die Bühne überdacht, und die Leute stehen draußen. Dieser ganze Satz ist irgendwie doof.

(covered) stages
Explanation:
On the Glastonbury website, they are simply referred to as 'stages':

They are not really 'open-air' because they are covered, nor are they 'tent' because they are not completely enclosed. Maybe something with 'canopy'?

If these people are presenting works of art (paintings etc), \'artists\' is fine. If they are musicians, they are better described as \'performers\'.

Zeltbühnen
tent stage


Explanation:
Nahezu zeitgleich gab es auf der einzigen Zeltbühne (W.E.T.-Stage = Wacken Evolution Tent Stage) einen Streetpunk-Doppelschlag der Extraklasse: Die V8 WANKERS (D) und die Schwedenrocker aus Vesteräs PSYCHOPUNCH gaben sich die Klinke in die Hand und dazu auch noch richtig Gas! In Wacken ist halt für jeden was dabei. PSYCHOPUNCH glänzten nicht nur mit dem Songs ihres aktuellen Albums "The pleasure kill", auch die älteren Stücke, allen voran Back in the days wurden frenetisch gefeiert.

open air stages


Explanation:
Big tent-like structures with a stage - to be seen at any pop festival.

The purpose of the covering is to protect both the artistes and, above all, the electronics/electrics from inclement weather - but slanting rain has been known to cause big time problems! The audience are not covered/protected they are under open heaven. The more modern structures have a form of curtain to close it after or between shows and overnight. Open air derives from the fact that these stages are not in a permanent structure i.e. a brick etc. building.

Explanation:
Hallo Alexandra. Würde eher sagen: International artists will display their skills in a forest setting on 4 (tent) stages for 4 days. You will also be treated to the finest cabaret and regional culinary specialities.
