NDR Festival in Büsum

On July 11, 2026, the mudflat grandstand in Büsum will transform into an NDR-class open-air stage: With JORIS, one of the most successful German pop acts of recent years will perform live on the North Sea coast. His trademark — passionate pop, authentic band sound, and a distinctive voice — promises a concert right on the Wadden Sea World Heritage Site under the open sky.

The "Battle Grömitz vs. Büsum" will also take place: a sporty and fun competition between the mayors and tourism directors of the two resorts, an idea from NDR and the tourism authorities to playfully stage the rivalry between the North and Baltic Sea resorts. The Family Day on the same weekend rounds off the program with children's entertainment.
