The Reeperbahn Festival, Europe’s largest club festival and a global hub for pop culture and the music industry, is set to transform Hamburg’s Reeperbahn district once again this year. Since 2006, the festival has served as a key platform for promoting emerging artists and fostering industry connections, featuring around 1,000 events, including concerts, conferences, and networking sessions.
This year's lineup features Erland Cooper, a Scottish composer who draws inspiration from nature, blending modern classical and ambient music to create immersive soundscapes. Joep Beving & Maarten Vos will present their collaborative compositions, blending piano and cello in their first joint project. Kiasmos, the duo of Janus Rasmussen and Ólafur Arnalds, will captivate with their signature blend of melodic microhouse and neoclassical music.
The Reeperbahn Festival also addresses critical issues such as diversity, gender equality, and sustainability, engaging its 50,000 attendees—including 5,000 industry professionals from 50 countries—in meaningful dialogue to shape the future of the music industry.
