The sparrows whistle - an electronic symphony of anticipation for the VOGELBALL, which will take place for the twelfth time in 2025. Visitors are traditionally invited to the queer masked ball to coincide with the big CSD parade in Hamburg.
Hamburg's wildest courtship dance is the prelude to the festival series on the MS Dockville grounds. The queer masked ball in the bushes, nests and horsts on the Reiherstieg in Wilhelmsburg has long since become an institution for local dance lovers.
The festival
The ritual includes the bird metamorphosis with friends in the local parlour as well as the following swarm cycling through the Old Elbe Tunnel, including chirping, ringing and chattering. On site, the homemade feather costumes and glittering jewellery flutter to the beats - until deep into the next morning.
Electronic beats
The Vogelball is an interplay of music, dance and performance, a diverse selection of electronic artists and DJs, an enthusiastic audience full of birds of paradise and prodigies. We are already looking forward to turning night into day and feather dress into costume with wild sounds.
