Practical information — Stadtpark Open Air

Good to Know

Open-air stage — weather-appropriate clothing recommended. Picnic blankets are allowed in the rear area; seating and standing areas vary by concert. Food and drinks are available in the foyer.

Hamburg's Summer Ritual

When the open-air stage opens in May, the concert summer begins for many Hamburg residents. The Stadtpark Open Air has been the Hansestadt's central open-air series since the 1970s — not a one-off festival week, but a concert sequence spread over four months with almost daily performances. The open-air stage in Hamburg's Stadtpark seats around 4,000 people and is located in the middle of the 148-hectare park in Winterhude.

A Diverse Program Across All Genres

The program spans across popular music: Rock legends like Foreigner, ZZ Top, and The BossHoss, Pop with Charlie Puth, Nena, Seal, and Zaz, Indie with Beirut, Agnes Obel, Ethel Cain, Angus & Julia Stone, and Glen Hansard, Hip-Hop and Soul with Max Herre & Joy Denalane and The Streets, Reggae with The Wailers, plus German-speaking Hamburg favorites like Lotto King Karl, Madsen, Dick Brave, and the Heaven Can Wait Chor.

Family and Special Programs

In addition to main concerts, there are special formats every year: the children's music open-air Lütt im Park, benefit open-airs (e.g., for the children's hospital), as well as special theme nights and the Hamburg choir evening "Der Norden singt". The organizer is FKP Scorpio Konzertproduktionen GmbH together with Funke Ticket and the City of Hamburg.

Winterhude District

The stage is located in the Winterhude district in Hamburg-Nord, directly on Saarlandstraße. Accessible via U3 Borgweg or S-Bahn Alte Wöhr. The Stadtpark — designed by Fritz Schumacher between 1909 and 1914 — is one of the city's most important recreational areas, along with the Hamburg Planetarium and Stadtparksee.
