SNNTG Festival

Festival Among Trams

The Hannover Tram Museum in Wehmingen, a district of Sehnde about 20 kilometers southeast of Hannover, houses one of the largest collections of historic trams in Germany. More than a hundred vehicles from over a century of transport history are located on extensive grounds. Once a year, this unusual location transforms into a festival venue: the SNNTG Festival.

Four Stages, a Tram Shuttle

The festival is spread across four stages in different areas of the grounds. The distances between the stages are bridged by historic trams: cars from the 1920s, 1950s, and 1970s function as shuttles, serving as both transportation and part of the festival experience.

Genre-Open Programming

Musically, SNNTG moves between genres, making this diversity a programming principle. The stages are accented differently depending on the time of day and style: HipHop and Indie on one, Pop and Soul on another, Techno and House in the evenings, plus acts from FLINTA* Punk, New Wave, Jazz, Afrobeat, and experimental sound. The booking focuses on a mix of German and international artists and balanced gender distribution.

Atmosphere and Awareness

The festival sees itself as a Safer Space with an active awareness structure. Trained staff are on-site, quiet zones are available, and clear rules of conduct are communicated. With around three thousand visitors, the festival remains manageable and retains a friendly character appreciated by regulars and newcomers alike.
