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.

    MUSKETEER

    No stranger to a bustling street corner nor a grand stage, Musketeer has spent the better part of the last decade honing his storytelling skills and songwriting craft in some of Europe’s most beautiful cities.

    Wind, hail or shine, this hardened Australian folk troubadour has blazed through it all with steadfast fervour, howling his way onto the stage, often consumed in some sort of biblical rapture.

    He has supported acts from across the globe, including Canada’s ‘Half Moon Run’, Australia’s ‘Dustin Tebbutt’, 'Tash Sultana', Nashville based a’cappella stars ‘Home Free’ and twin brothers, ‘Amistat.’

    In 2022, Musketeer undertook his most ambitious journey to date. A road trip from Oslo to Istanbul. The troubadour traveled across Europe with 7 other artists and played concerts, festivals and busked across 15 different countries.

    In 2023 Musketeer began to release his most ambitious studio record thus far, a debut LP titled ‘Glorious Light.’ Working together again with his band from his home base of Hamburg, Germany, Musketeer produced the record with fellow Australian Singer-Songwriter Lucas Laufen in the annex of the Famous Gold Watch Studios in Berlin. The album explores themes of war and hope, explores Christianity, touches upon Roman and Germanic Mythology and steals lines from Dante, Dylan and Hemingway.

    ‘Glorious Light’ (2025) follows Musketeer’s previous two studio EP’s, ‘The North Sea’ (2021) and ‘Seven Long Years.’ (2017)

    In 2026 Musketeer begins a new chapter, releasing a haunting acoustic version of his song, Empty Churches. Leaning back into a DIY approach with help from his network of musicians around the world, he aims to return to the roots of why he became a singer-songwriter in the first place. Empty Churches was recorded at home with UK folk-blues musician, Jon Kenzie.

    Nachtflohmarkt in der Gleishalle

    During the winter months, the Oberhafen train depot transforms into a vibrant flea market and street food festival once or twice a month. Numerous stalls in the spacious industrial hall invite visitors to browse for vintage fashion, design pieces, second-hand classics, curiosities, and lovingly selected unique items – perfect for extended treasure hunts off the beaten path.

    A unique evening atmosphere is created amidst the brickwork, steel girders, and railway tracks, clearly distinguishing the night flea market from the traditional daytime flea market. The twinkling lights, music, and the urban setting of the Oberhafen (Upper Harbor) transform a visit into an experience focused on discovery, encounters, and lingering.

    The night flea market also has plenty to offer in terms of food: In the street food area, various stalls serve international delicacies from all over the world. Whether savory or sweet, hot or freshly prepared – here you can combine your visit to the flea market with a delightful break.

    The night flea market in the Oberhafen train shed is therefore not just a place to shop, but a meeting place for everyone who fancies special finds, good food and a relaxed evening event in an extraordinary location.
