Klassentreffen Festival — Edition 2025

Klassentreffen Festival 2025 — Established Summer Date

In 2025, the Klassentreffen Festival established itself as a fixture in the German Hip-Hop festival calendar. At the Zentraler Festplatz Berlin in Reinickendorf, performances by the first generation of German rap took place over two days in late summer — Berlin's battle rap school, Hamburg's band formats, Stuttgart's NeoSoul sound, Cologne's punchlines. The 15,000 festival spots brought together Hip-Hop listeners from the 1990s, younger fans of the classics rediscovered via streaming, and industry representatives from the German rap scene. The operating hours of 12:00 PM to 10:00 PM per day allowed for a dense program with alternating main and side stages. The format — a curatorial focus on the pioneer generation, less on current chart acts — secured the festival a clear position in the Berlin summer concert season, distinguishing it from major genre-mix festivals.
