Superkunstfestival Lübeck

Inclusion as the Program

The Superkunstfestival is more than a classic music festival. It is a political project: people with and without disabilities jointly create a three-day art festival — as artists, as crew members, as organizers. The festival thus sets a unique example in Germany: inclusion not as a special program, but as an equal stage.

Six Stages, 80 Shows, Three Days

Around 80 shows from the fields of music, visual arts, theater, film, and circus are spread across six stages. The mix is impressive — from political hip-hop shows to contemporary dance productions to circus performances with artists from all over the world. The festival takes place on the campus of Diakonie Nord Nord Ost in Lübeck, a large socio-economic institution with long experience in working with people with disabilities.

Line-up 2026 — A Remarkable Selection

The second wave of artist confirmations for 2026 includes Afrob & Ferris MC, Deine Cousine, OK.Danke.Tschüss, Mentsh United feat. Shantel, Senta, Smith & Smart, Denyo & Mad Beginner Soundsystem, and The Magic Mumble Jumble. A crossover of hip-hop, indie, klezmer, and singer-songwriter — typical of the festival's open programming policy.

Tickets and Access

The festival uses a tiered ticketing system with four booking phases. Full refund up to 8 days before the festival. Family bundles with a 20% discount for children and young people. In cooperation with Kulturtafel Lübeck, free tickets are distributed to people with financial difficulties — because "participation remains our promise," as the organizers put it.

Political Statement

The festival management clearly states its position: "Culture can create spaces where humanity prevails over movements that violate human rights." In times of political polarization, the Superkunstfestival sees itself as an explicitly solidarity-based format — against racism, ableism, antisemitism, homophobia.
