Happiness Festival 2026

2025 Edition with K.I.Z, Nina Chuba, and Tream

In July 2025, the 14th edition of the Happiness Festival took place on the festival meadow in Straubenhardt-Schwann. Headliners were K.I.Z, Nina Chuba, and Tream — three of the defining names in the young German-language music scene. As every year, the focus was on Hip-Hop, Pop, and Indie-Pop, with a dense program on main and side stages.

With a capacity of 14,500 visitors per day and the integrated Happi-BnB campsite, the festival was also an important meeting point in 2025 for the young festival scene between Karlsruhe and Stuttgart. The organizer remained Happiness Festival GmbH, based in Karlsruhe. Recurring acts like Irie Révoltés (a total of 5 performances over the years), Alligatoah, and Drunken Masters (4 performances each) have shaped the festival's history since 2011.
