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.

    Klassik.Krimi / Symphoniker Hamburg

    A perfectly normal concert ends in a dramatic criminal case. A legendary, priceless instrument disappears inexplicably. A frantic search begins, because for everyone on stage it’s a matter of fame or ruin, applause or disaster, life or death. Everyone seems suspicious, because they all have skeletons in their closets. The audience can also participate in the investigation and contribute to solving this terrible crime. A programme for everyone who loves crime stories, sophisticated entertainment and good music!

    The Hamburg-based band represents melodic synth pop in all its facets. With clever borrowings from their role models like Depeche Mode, Erasure, Pet Shop Boys, and New Order, they have developed their very own sound. Sometimes darkly melancholic, sometimes underpinned by driving pop beats.

    Chroma Neon - Synthpop

    Between Man and Machine: Chroma Neon and their Synthpop Evolution

    The 1980s brought vibrant colors, revolutionary technology, and the unique sound of synthpop. Inspired by this decade, artists Green and Blue formed the band "Chroma Neon" in 2020.

    Their goal was to capture the essence of the dazzling 80s in their sound. Their debut album, "Between Man & Machine," combines the electronic soul of that era with modern influences and is available on all major platforms, including Spotify and Apple Music. Initially, Chroma Neon performed in LED-lit stage outfits to maintain anonymity. The music would always be the focus. But they soon realized the need for a closer connection with the audience and revealed their identities. Chroma Neon is a tribute to the 80s and reflects the passion for this era in every note. Their journey has only just begun, and their neon-lit melodies are sure to capture the hearts of music lovers worldwide.
