Reeperbahn Festival

Newcomer Music Festival on the Reeperbahn

The Reeperbahn Festival will once again present a colourful programme from 17 - 20 September 2025. The four-day festival offers visitors a variety of musical and pop-cultural events in around 80 venues. Upcoming artists are put in the spotlight around the Reeperbahn.

The Reeperbahn Festival will take place in Hamburg from September 17 to 20, 2025. If you already want to secure tickets for the popular festival, you can find them here.

This is what the Reeperbahn Festival has to offer

Bon Iver, Jake Bugg, Cro, Casper, Biffy Clyro, Boy or Ed Sheeran - all these names not only have several chart successes in common, but also that they thrilled the audience on the stages of the Reeperbahn Festival shortly before their big breakthrough. Whoever plays on Hamburg's Kiez in September, as the last few years have shown, has a good chance of soon filling the great halls of this world.

So it's no wonder that the Reeperbahn Festival, as Europe's biggest club festival, is now one of the world's most important events in the music industry. In recent years, for example, the international music prize ANCHOR has been awarded to the best live act at the festival. So fans and visitors can be curious who will be the successor of the festival award first runner-up. The award ceremony usually takes place as a crowning finale on the last day of the festival.

A throwback to the year 2024

The 19th Reeperbahn Festival ended with 480 concerts by artists from 35 countries, where people danced, celebrated and discovered new music together.

For those who didn't want to jump into the fray or simply wanted to listen to good music from the comfort of their own sofa, the live stream was particularly interesting. Here you can find official video recordings from the Reeperbahn Festival 2024 to reminisce nostalgically.
