Lurup Feiert 2026

Lurup Feiert, one of the vibrant, community-spirited neighborhood festivals in Hamburg-Altona, is happening on Saturday, June 27th this years! As always, there is plenty to see, hear, and do—so bring your free time, appetite, and friends!

Musically, this year’s journey ranges from thoughtful Alternative Country and upbeat antifa pop tunes to SWANA- Funk, featuring bands such as Ride Lonesome, Wir Nicht, and Spine of the Sahara. The culinary offerings once againspan the entire globe, as all of Lurup is serving up treats! Physical activity is provided by sporty games, a glittering bouncy castle, and engaging activities for young and old alike. To help everyone cool off, the Volunteer Fire Department will be on-site with their large fire truck—and there will be plenty of other ways to quench your thirst, too.

Local initiatives, clubs, and community groups show what they're up to through activities such as screen printing, an Oshibana workshop, soccer darts or bracelet crafting. Kids can get their faces painted or adorned with glitter tattoos, and every visitor has a chance to win a prize in the Grand Tombola!

The neighborhood festival takes place from 12:00 PM to 7:00 PM on the large, accessible grounds at Flurstraße 15. We encourage you to take advantage of the venue's excellent accessibility via bus lines 2 and 3 (stopping at Eckhofplatz or Flurstraße Nord).

Martha Argerich / Maxim Vengerov / Lilya Zilberstein

An evening filled with Beethoven and highlights: As part of the Martha Argerich Festival, an extraordinary ensemble of artists will gather at the Laeiszhalle for a celebration of chamber music.
The program opens with Ludwig van Beethoven’s Quintet in E-flat Major—a sparkling dialogue between piano and winds, performed by Lilya Zilberstein and members of the Hamburg Symphony Orchestra.
After the intermission, Beethoven’s lyrical side unfolds: Together with Maxim Vengerov, Argerich brings the famous »Spring Sonata« and the cheerfully radiant A Major Sonata to life in brilliant colors.
Virtuosity, depth, and musical highlights—an evening that celebrates not only Beethoven in all his facets.

Due to Mikhail Pletnev’s withdrawal from the »Flügelschlag« concert on 25 June, also part of the Martha Argerich Festival, there will be changes to the line-up and programme for the first half of this concert. Ludwig van Beethoven’s Great Fugue with Martha Argerich and Stephen Kovacevich has been omitted from this concert; instead, Lilya Zilberstein, among others, will perform a selection from Sergei Rachmaninoff’s Préludes, Op. 32. Tickets already purchased remain valid.

Martha Argerich / Maxim Vengerov / Shonosuke Okura / Akane Sakai

When Far Eastern ritual art meets European musical icons, the result is an evening of rare intensity: at this year’s Martha Argerich Festival, a fascinating dialogue between cultures unfolds at the Laeiszhalle.
The program opens with the poetic Japanese Nō theater piece »The Postman of Nagasaki«—archaic, meditative, and deeply expressive, performed by masters such as Shōnosuke Ōkura and Yasushi Umewaka.

After the intermission, the evening bridges the gap to Ludwig van Beethoven: With electrifying presence, Martha Argerich and Maxim Vengerov continue the project they began at the »Opening Night« and dedicate themselves to two of his passionate violin sonatas.
»Japan Meets Beethoven I« is an extraordinary concert experience between silence and storm, tradition and virtuosity—an evening that lingers long in the memory.

Max Uthoff

An evening full of verbal gaffes—with laughter at the expense of the powerful and intellectual pranks. However, exaggerated expectations are misplaced. Any expectation of particular cleverness, wit, or provocation creates pressure that is almost unbearable – especially when it seems to be legitimized by an admission ticket. What does it say about the concept of art and artists when openness and vulnerability are measured in terms of affordability? When feelings don’t count as long as entertainment is provided? Then let’s clear the stage for thoughts about the fear of loss, the absurd idea of possession, the most nonsensical of the Ten Commandments, the insatiable thirst for therapy—and perhaps a final solution to all problems. Without any regard for who likes it.

This event takes place in German language.
