Kindheitstraum Festival

Electronics on the Airfield

Speichersdorf is located in the district of Bayreuth in Upper Franconia — a municipality in the Franconian part of Bavaria, whose airfield on Manfred-Strößenreuther-Straße becomes an open-air festival stage once a year. The Kindheitstraum Festival utilizes the open space of the airfield for a one-day, high-quality electronic music event with two stages.

Musical Profile

The program ranges from Melodic Techno, House, EDM, and Electronica. The 2026 headliner list includes acts with a considerable streaming profile: Lexer (137 million Spotify streams), LOVRA, Mausio, and hard techno artist Felix Kröcher. The lineup will be further expanded throughout the spring of 2026.

Atmosphere and Surroundings

In addition to the two stages, the festival grounds feature a Ferris wheel, beer garden, chill-out areas, an ice cream bar, and several food trucks. With the 4+1 system (5 tickets for the price of 4), the festival explicitly targets travel groups — Speichersdorf is located far enough from major cities that most guests arrive in groups.

VIP Area

VIP ticket holders have separate access to the stages, a premium bar, private restrooms, and a designated lounge area. Months before the 2026 event, the festival reports an 80% sales progress — early booking is highly recommended.

Festival-Allgäu meets Fichtelgebirge

With its location in Speichersdorf, between Bayreuth and the Fichtelgebirge mountains, the Kindheitstraum Festival positions itself as an Upper Franconian alternative to the major electronic music festivals in Southern Germany. The rural setting, the open airfield, and the compact one-day format appeal to an audience seeking the open-air experience — without the camping logistics.
