Format
"Rügen tanzt in den Mai" is the annual May Eve format of the Waldbühne Rügen: an open-air evening with DJ and live acts, turning April 30th into a night of dancing in the natural arena. The program ranges from Schlager to Electronic Dance and Chart music.
Venue
The Waldbühne Rügen on Rugardweg 9 in Bergen auf Rügen is an open-air natural arena nestled in the beech forest of Rugard. With concerts in the genres of Schlager, Pop, Rock, Classical, and Electronic music, it is one of the island's most prominent venues, offering the Baltic Sea audience a packed program from April to September.
Local Context
Rügen is Germany's largest island, located in the Vorpommern-Rügen district of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The "Tanz in den Mai" events build upon the Central European tradition of Walpurgis Night, and are now celebrated in many places with contemporary live and DJ formats — at the Waldbühne Rügen, with a focus on Schlager and Dance music.
Dance into May Rügen — edition 2026
On Thursday, April 30, 2026, the Waldbühne Rügen will transform into an open-air dance floor. Doors open at 6:00 PM. The headliner is Stereoact, the German production duo that has amassed several Top 10 albums and hundreds of millions of streams in recent years. Special guests from the Schlager and Pop scene will round off the May Eve celebration. The concert embodies the "Tanz in den Mai" format: less of a classic concert evening, more of an open-air party with sing-along moments and DJ sets.
