Hamburg's Funk and Soul Icon Live at the Festplatz Wilhelmshaven
Jan Delay, born Jan Phillip Eißfeldt, has been a fixture in the German music scene since the mid-1990s. Originally starting as a rapper with Absolute Beginner, he has carved out his own niche over the years as a solo artist with a distinctive mix of reggae, funk, soul, and hip-hop. Songs like “Türlich, türlich”, “Klar”, and “Disko” are now indispensable parts of the German summer hit repertoire.
With his band Disko No. 1, Jan Delay has created a sound that packs even more punch live than on record. The horn section, funk guitar, rhythm section, and backing vocalists provide a stage presence that is rarely matched. The live shows are energetic and captivating, with a frontman who effortlessly wins over the audience. Such concerts are among the summer highlights of the North German festival scene.
The Festplatz am Sportforum in Wilhelmshaven has established itself as a new venue for major open-air concerts. The grounds are spacious, easily accessible, and offer the necessary infrastructure for several thousand visitors. The 2026 open-air series, organized by the Kulturzentrum Pumpwerk, features Wincent Weiss, Jan Delay, Andrea Berg, The BossHoss, and other prominent acts.
The concert on September 4, 2026, is part of the high-caliber open-air series at the Sportforum. The following day, Wincent Weiss performs, followed a few days later by Andrea Berg and The BossHoss.
Jan Delay concerts are known for their exuberant atmosphere. The audience ranges from long-time fans to summer festival-goers from across the region.
