The Herbststurm Festival has established itself as a fixture in the Oldenburg Metal, Gothic, and Rock scene. Its location at the Bürgerfelde leisure center—a venue known for its alternative and subcultural focus in the Bürgerfelde district—perfectly matches the program's profile.
Two Festival Days in October 2026
Traditionally, the festival takes place over two days in October (in 2025, it was October 17th and 18th). The exact date for 2026 will be confirmed by the organizers later in the year.
Metal, Gothic, Rock, Folk
The musical profile is broad, yet distinct:
- Metal: various subgenres from classic Heavy Metal and Power Metal to Doom and Folk Metal
- Gothic: Gothic Rock, Dark Wave, Electro-Gothic
- Rock: Indie and Alternative Rock
- Folk: Folk Rock and acoustic styles
Medieval Market
Alongside the festival, a medieval market runs—a combination with deep roots in the Metal and Gothic scenes. Artisans, traders, and reenactors create an additional layer to the festival experience.
Art Exhibition
An art exhibition complements the format. Visual artists from the scene showcase works thematically linked to the musical genres—dark imagery, Gothic-inspired painting, illustration, printmaking.
Bürgerfelde Leisure Center
The Bürgerfelde leisure center at Alexanderstraße 209 has been a venue for alternative culture and subcultural concerts for years. It provides the space and atmosphere that defines the Herbststurm Festival.
