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.

    The home of the Poetry Slam in Hamburg.

    LaLi Jam & Open Stage

    After the joyful musical get-together at the opening event in October 2025 with around 70 people – musicians, singing audience members, and quiet listeners – it's time for the next installment:

    Kulturmix in Langenhorn e.V. cordially invites all music lovers to the LaLi Jam & Open Stage! The LaLi Jam & Open Stage offers a platform for spontaneous jam sessions and an open stage where everyone interested can bring their instrument and participate.

    The evening begins shortly after doors open (7:00 PM) with three combos or solo artists, each performing three songs in succession. This is followed by the jam session (approximately 8:30 PM to 11:00 PM). Improvisations are just as welcome in the jam session as interpretations of well-known songs – such as pop songs, folk classics, jazz standards, or blues classics. Or perhaps you'd prefer funk, soul, Latin, or reggae?

    The goal is to encourage everyone to play and sing along. Whether you're a beginner, advanced, or a professional – the joy of making music together is the focus. Drums, a sound system for vocals, guitar and bass, microphones, and a keyboard are available.

    Do you feel like joining in? Do you play an instrument or sing? Would you like to improvise or play specific songs – perhaps even your own compositions? Come on down!

    Please note: The fixed slots on the Open Stage on January 23rd 2026 and February 27th 2026 are already booked (Nov. 2025).

    What's always possible: Bring one or two songs and suggest them to the host and the other musicians and singers during the jam session for a spontaneous performance! It's best to bring song sheets and lyrics with you.

    You can reach the host of the evening, Heiko Witt, at lali-jam@posteo.de.

    Admission is free. Listeners are, of course, also welcome! A donation box will be set up for the event.

    The venue is the beautiful hall in the LaLi Cultural Center, Tangstedter Landstr. 182a, Hamburg-Langenhorn. Take the U1 subway line to Langenhorn Markt or Langenhorn Nord, then bus 192 to Timmerloh.

    Further dates: Fri. February 27th, Sat. May 30th, Sat. September 26th, Sat. October 24th

    Loki digital am Abend - Die Blume des Jahres 2026

    The year 2026 is the Year of the Field Larkspur. For millennia, it, along with around 400 other arable weeds, shaped our cultivated landscapes, transforming them into a banquet of color and biodiversity – a true sea of blossoms in summer. Can you remember the last time you saw such a sea of flowers in our fields? It's probably been a while. The field larkspur is threatened, and a significant piece of cultural history and biodiversity is in danger of disappearing with it. Learn more about the field larkspur with us in an exciting online lecture. | By registering, you will receive a link to access the online lecture.

    Marshall Titus & Friends

    Marshall Titus & Friends
    Soul at its Best


    His soulful voice is unmistakable – passionate, raw, sensual, grounded and full of vitality: Marshall Titus, singer, pianist, guitarist & songwriter, returns to our stage with new songs and his warm timbre will once again fill the Kulturkirche Altona with songs that tell of life in all its many facets – presented in an intimate setting for a voice, music and lyrics full of soul.

    He describes his music as Global Soul... "Songs and music that touch and connect the heart, mind, and soul. Songs that affirm our humanity as we navigate an ever-changing world."

    The charismatic singer and pianist will be accompanied this evening by Julia Schmiedeberg, one of the most sought-after guitarists in the Hamburg area, and two other special guests: Lucie Spedicato on the harp and Jean Yanotschkin on piano and keyboard.
