Festival feeling in the middle of Bremen's winter
Breminale on the Osterdeich is Bremen's largest cultural festival — five days of music, art, and culture with up to 300,000 guests, all with free admission. To ensure this continues, PRE:MINALE has been held since 2025: a winter preview in the Schlachthof cultural center, the proceeds of which help finance the free summer edition. For one day in February, the Schlachthof transforms into a festival site, with concerts, party, and show performances on two levels. The creators' motto sums it up perfectly: After Breminale is before Breminale — and before Breminale is PRE:MINALE.
The lineup is deliberately diverse and cutting-edge: punk meets hip-hop, schlager and NDW meet house, rap, and afrofuturism. Acts like Julio Lovetrain, goldy.mp3, Ayham, Guud Friends, and L.eclectic embody the genre-open, experimental attitude that also characterizes Breminale. The 2026 edition is a Valentine's Day special — festival vibes instead of a restaurant visit.
Solidarity for the free Breminale
What's special about PRE:MINALE is its purpose: it's not an ordinary winter concert, but a solidarity festival. Anyone who buys a ticket here helps ensure that Breminale can continue to take place in the summer free of charge for everyone — a Bremen model of community-supported urban culture that is unique in the state of Bremen.
Bremen's subculture in the Schlachthof
The Schlachthof on Findorffstraße is one of the most traditional venues in Bremen's independent cultural scene. It is located on the grounds of the municipal slaughterhouse built in 1892 on the edge of the Bürgerweide; after a cultural association was founded in 1979 to save the tower complex, boiler house, and magazine buildings from demolition, the Kesselhalle opened in 1981. Today, with around 300 events and approximately 100,000 visitors per year, the Schlachthof is the largest socio-cultural center in the Hanseatic city. Anyone who wants to get to know Bremen from its vibrant, subcultural side will find themselves in exactly the right place within these industrial walls at PRE:MINALE.
PRE:MINALE — edition 2026
On Saturday, February 14, 2026, the Schlachthof will transform into a winter festival site from 5:30 PM. The second edition of PRE:MINALE is a Valentine's Day special featuring concerts, party, and show performances on two levels in the Magazinkeller. The lineup includes Julio Lovetrain (Schlager/NDW), goldy.mp3 x doubtboy (Punk/Hip-Hop), Ayham (Rap/House), Guud Friends (Rap/Rock/House from Bremen), and L.eclectic (Dance/Baile/Afrofuturism). Tickets are available via Nordwest Ticket; the proceeds support the free Breminale in the summer.
Programme PRE:MINALE 2026
Saturday, February 14, 2026 — from 5:30 PM, Magazinkeller at Schlachthof
The second PRE:MINALE, as a Valentine's Day special, brings a day of Breminale into winter: concerts, party, and shows on two floors in the Magazinkeller, a mix of established names and current positions from the German-language pop, punk, and club scene.
Line-up
- Julio Lovetrain — Cult band from Leverkusen between Schlager and Neue Deutsche Welle
- goldy.mp3 x doubtboy — Posh Punk of the posterotic generation: Punk in heart, Hip-Hop in body
- Ayham — 23-year-old singer, songwriter, and producer, a mix of rap, house, and electronic elements
- Guud Friends — Bremen band somewhere between rap, electric guitar, and house
- AG Plaste — Live act from the German-language rap/club scene
- L.eclectic — explosive mix of predominantly female and queer artists from the genres Dance, Baile, Kuduro, Trap, Gqom, and Afrofuturism
A total of around twelve acts will perform in the Magazinkeller. Note: Alenna Rose, Lawnchair, and Remote Bondage were initially announced but were removed from the winter program due to low pre-sale numbers and will perform at the Breminale summer festival instead.
Purpose
PRE:MINALE is a solidarity festival: all ticket proceeds go to the free Breminale on the Osterdeich, which relies on additional support as a free festival. Tickets available via Nordwest Ticket, schlachthof-bremen.de, and ticketmaster.de.
