Impuls Festival Norderstedt

Norderstedt's Young Festival Voice

Norderstedt, with almost 80,000 inhabitants, is one of Schleswig-Holstein's largest cities, located directly north of the Hamburg city limits in the Segeberg district. The Stadtpark Norderstedt — created for the 2011 State Garden Show — is one of Northern Germany's largest urban green spaces with its 80 hectares and hosts numerous open-air events. The neighboring Kulturwerk am See is the city's central cultural institution.

What to Expect

Impuls is deliberately designed to be genre-spanning — music meets art, skate meets workshop, fashion meets tattoo:

• Electronic Music — Techno, House, Trance on several stages
• Workshops — DJ workshops, art workshops, movement, skating
• Action Sports — Skate demonstrations, participatory stations
• Art — Installations, visuals, performances
• Second-hand Fashion Market — Vintage, sustainable fashion
• Tattoo Services — various tattoo artists on site
• Food and Drinks — various stalls in the park

Platform for Young Talents

The festival explicitly positions itself as "by young people for young people". Local DJs, artists, skaters, and fashion designers have a stage here, which is rare in this form in Norderstedt. The concept aims for inclusion: financial support for visitors who cannot afford tickets is available via the contact page.

Day and Night

The day-night structure is characteristic: free admission during the day with workshops, skating, second-hand market, and tattoo studios — the Stadtpark becomes an open experience area. In the evening, the festival switches to a paid format and electronic DJ sets become the main attraction.

Transport and Connectivity

Norderstedt is excellently connected to Hamburg via the Hamburg U-Bahn line U1 (terminus Norderstedt Mitte) — a unique feature among Schleswig-Holstein cities. The festival is therefore easily accessible for visitors from Hamburg as well.
