Ferik Festival 2026 — Twisted Circus

Electronic Circus in Southern Ruhr Area

The Ferik Festival is one of the largest electronic open-air festivals in the Ruhr area. The next edition will take place from August 14th to 15th, 2026, on the Klutertbad grounds in Ennepetal — the idyllic outdoor swimming pool with sunbathing lawns will become the festival grounds with two stages, a pool, beach volleyball, and chill-out zones. The 2026 motto: „Twisted Circus" — a fantasy circus world staging with visuals, LED installations, and stage design.

Voting Process

Before the festival, the organizers conducted a voting process — the community could suggest artists they wanted to see. The result: the aforementioned lineup mix of headliners (Dynoro, Moguai, ItaloBrothers) and underground acts (Butan Circus Stage).

Festival Grounds at Klutertbad

Natural Pool + Beach Volleyball

The Klutertbad as the festival location is its unique feature: a natural swimming pool right in the middle of the festival grounds, plus beach volleyball courts. During festival breaks, you can cool off in the water — hardly any other festival in NRW offers this.

Foodtrucks + VIP + Chill-out

The festival grounds feature foodtrucks offering various cuisines, a VIP area with special drinks and a prime view, and several chill-out zones for relaxing between sets.

Ennepetal as a Festival Town

Ennepetal is a small town in the Ennepe-Ruhr district (NRW), south of the Ruhr area. Ennepetal is regionally known for the Kluterthöhle — the largest natural cave in Germany, stretching 5.8 km, a geo-tourism highlight of the Sauerland foothills. The Klutertbad is located right next to it. With about 30,000 inhabitants, Ennepetal is manageable — but the festival attracts 8,000 electronic music fans from all over NRW and beyond each year. Last year, the Saturday festival was completely sold out — the organizers do not expect tickets to be available at the gate in 2026.
