Poetry Slam

Word art on Hamburg's stages.

Experience culture. Poetry Slam in Hamburg

Hamburg stands for art and culture through and through. And over the years, poetry slams have gained a firm place in Hamburg's cultural programme. Those who want to see young lyrical talents have the opportunity to do so in Hamburg almost every week. The young poet scene meets here regularly on stage to compete and inspire the audience. And with the "artistic duels", the city even has its own unofficial championship. Here, you'll find an overview of current events and the most frequent venues.

    "Wenn meine Haare sprechen könnten" - Lesung mit Dayan Kodua

    Seven-year-old Akoma is a girl with beautiful hair who lives with her parents in a small town near Hamburg. During a class trip to a farm, the owner, Mrs. Schröder, touches Akoma's hair without asking. Akoma doesn't like this at all. Her friends immediately notice that she feels uncomfortable. As the story unfolds, we learn how, with the support of her family, her teacher, and her friends, she learns to stand up for herself.

    The reading with Dayan Kodua is aimed at second to fourth grade students. It is funded by the Altona district office's community culture program based on a resolution of the district assembly's Committee for Culture and Education.

    Recharged - 3Wishes
    Modern. Authentic. Hard rock.
    The title says it all. 3Wishes' new album, Recharged, is charged with earthy, straightforward hard rock. One change, in particular, makes a big impact: the band's original frontman, Joe Gruber, is back on board. This means they're musically going back to their roots.

    3Wishes have recorded 13 new songs since their reunion, coinciding with the CD's release date of March 13, 2026. And the cover of "Recharged" already hints at the direction things are headed. With its dystopian feel and computer animation, it promises modernity while simultaneously appealing to the classic audience for the honest Elbcoast rock to which the band has remained true for 30 years.


    My Town is my absolute top listening recommendation.
    3Wishes' live performance embodies everything fans of true hard rock expect on stage: energetic, powerful, handcrafted, and honest. In recent years, the Hamburg-based band has impressed as a support act for numerous international rock giants. They have also headlined their own tours in Italy and Greece.


    Earthy, groovy rock music
    Yet despite all these international experiences, Hamburg has always remained the center of their work. And as true Hamburg natives, they've given their music a unique name: Elbcoast Rock, which clearly states its direction: earthy, groovy rock music. Danceable. Always on the pulse of the times. Just like the city they love.
    Thanks to their years of musical expertise and corresponding experience in songwriting and production, the four musicians of 3Wishes manage to maintain their authenticity with their seventh album, Recharged. Since their fourth release, the band, founded in 1996, has successfully produced their albums in their own studio, handling all production steps independently.

    “We’re adapting to the times, while remaining true to our style with our music. True to the title of our new album, Recharged, we’ve been recharged,” says Joe Gruber, who rejoined the band in 2022 and actively contributed to the new album. This also makes 3Wishes’ three wishes for their future clear: Modern. Authentic. Hard rock.


    The lineup is
