Reeperbahn Festival

Reeperbahn Festival 2025 – Review

From September 17 to 20, 2025, the Reeperbahn Festival took place in its classic four-day format. One of the most talked-about events: Kraftklub played a guerrilla-style marathon concert in 15 different clubs along the Reeperbahn in a single night. Fuffifufzich performed in the Elbphilharmonie, and Alice Phoebe Lou silenced the Hauptkirche St. Michaelis with a solo set.

For the first time, the COLLIDE format was on the agenda – a hybrid stage format where musicians and visual artists worked together on stage. In the conference area, topics such as AI in music production, streaming royalties, and gender balance in festival lineups were in focus. The Keychange partnership once again ensured a balanced program.

Hamburg Tourism reported a sold-out festival weekend; hotels around St. Pauli were at 100% occupancy weeks before the event.
