NOVUM DJ Festival Słubice

A Festival Between Two Countries

The NOVUM DJ Festival is part of the German-Polish Frankfurt-Słubice Summer of Culture, making it one of the most exciting festival projects in the border region between Brandenburg and the Polish Lubusz Voivodeship. The Oder River separates Frankfurt (Oder) and Słubice – the city bridge has connected them for centuries. The festival represents a cultural link between Brandenburg, the district of Frankfurt (Oder), and its Polish neighbours.

Audiovisual Production

NOVUM is not a classic DJ festival, but an overall audiovisual production. In the park at Stadion SOSiR on the Polish side, the forest becomes a stage featuring electronic music – with Techno and House as focal points – as well as elaborate light installations, visuals, and art objects among the trees. The motto: "sophisticated electronic music, unique art installations, high-quality visualisations".

Forest, Water, Sound

The park at the stadium is located directly on the water, offering a natural backdrop that the festival deliberately utilises. Instead of huge festival stages, distributed sound zones are created among the trees, complemented by light installations that interact with the music. The atmosphere is aimed at an audience that wants to experience electronic music in a creative environment – far from large clubs.

Cross-Border Culture

NOVUM is part of the Frankfurt-Słubice Summer of Culture, a multi-month programme of concerts, theatre, visual arts, and festivals jointly organised by German and Polish promoters. The audience comes from both cities – from Frankfurt (Oder), Berlin, the Brandenburg region, as well as from Słubice, Poznań, and Zielona Góra.
