Experience culture. Poetry Slam in Hamburg

Je Danse Donc Je Suis

La! Superdisco! Diverse! has been celebrating for over 20 years under the starry dome of the Nachtasyl that the Francophile music cosmos can also provide exuberant and unifying dance excesses outside the usual clichés.

Whether synthpop, nouvelle chanson, Afro-futurism, tropical funk, swing, house, yé-yé, indie, disco, coldwave... – when DJ Luc le Truc brings together the most danceable musical gems at Hamburg's Frenchy Disco #1 and resolves apparent contradictions in an instant, it's the same as always: wild, diverse, full of love & with madeleines!

Enjoy the welcome-shot for free from our friends Foutah Djallon!

Karaoke at "Gaststätte zur Altstadt" HH-Harburg

KARAOKE IN THE OLD TOWN HH-HARBURG (Location: Gaststätte zur Altstadt) – THE PARTY CONTINUES!

FREE ENTRY!

We listened to you: what premiered last year will become a regular event in 2026. Mandy & Kevin from “Hamburger Karaoke Events” are once again inviting you to lively karaoke parties south of the Elbe at “Gaststätte zur Altstadt”!

Whether you're a show-off or a party-loving audience member, you don't need to be able to do anything except bring your good mood. If you want to sing, sing. If you prefer to listen, cheer, laugh, or just enjoy your drink, you're just as welcome

What to expect:

Karaoke without pressure to perform – low-key, warm, loud.

High-quality, professional sound technology that makes every voice sound good – our wireless Shure microphones are used by many professional singers in musicals, rock, and pop for good reason.

Microphone on for everything from pop to guilty pleasures.

Drinks to lubricate your voice (or sweeten your listening).

Old town atmosphere that quickly turns strangers into a party.

Whether it's off-key notes, big hits, or spontaneous sing-alongs from the bar – this isn't about perfection, but about fun, community, and a good evening when the old town becomes a stage again. For every voice. And also for those without.

Come by, bring your friends, sing and/or party hard with us.

KOHKS

KOHKS | 2 MATERIALS 1 NAME, HAMBURG'S ENERGY
wirvier collective (Hamburg), Colectivo Teatral Luz de Luna (Bogotá)

Club Energía invites you on an all-inclusive trip. Through the Port of Hamburg to the El Cerrejón coal mine in La Guajira, northern Colombia. Across Colombia's coca plantations and finally into the vibrant nightlife of a major German city in summer. Cocaine, coal, capital. How do you get fired up?

Millions of tons of coal leave northern Colombia on large ships to supply Germany's coal-fired power plants with energy. Thousands of Hamburg residents snort what Colombian farmers have produced for them daily: coke. Two energy kicks, one name.

A performative harbor tour awaits you, taking you along retraced coke routes to the coal port, ultimately leading you to the depths of scenic bass tones in the Hafenklang club. Global dependencies, the sacred coca plant, indigenous culture, colonization and displacement, as well as crime and activism. A story of a failed coal phase-out and energetic parties in the tension between activism and hedonism.

L'ESPÉRANCE

program

Is freedom just a dream? Is peace a utopia?
Can hope alleviate suffering?
Can friendship end a war?
Can love conquer hate?

Driven by longing and hope, we embark on a journey in search of a dream. Somewhere, freedom must be found. On the high seas? In distant ports? In long-forgotten childhood memories? In true love? Somewhere, between homesickness and wanderlust, we want to live for it. And we could die for it. For it is said that only where freedom is lived can peace prevail.

French singer Véronique Elling makes a strong musical statement with unforgettable masterpieces and newly discovered treasures from Aznavour, Barbara, Brel, Gréco, Montant, Moustaki, Piaf, Trenet… and some of her own compositions.

Singing in French, reading in German.

"Véronique Elling shines in many respects. A bright spot."
– Hamburger Abendblatt
