Overview

The 2025 edition of the Takeover Festival took place in early February 2025 at the Festspielhaus Baden-Baden. Ten days of programming for a young audience with concerts, performances, workshops, brunch concerts, and DJ sets confirmed the format as an important programmatic opening of the venue to younger generations. The mix of classical concert hall structures and electronic, jazz, and dance-oriented programming established the festival as an annual winter event in the South German cultural scene.

2025 — Takeover at the Festspielhaus

In 2025, the festival again followed its proven concept: a dense program of concerts and workshops over ten days, bridging classical concert hall programming and experimental electronic and dance formats. The series of Sunday brunch concerts, the workshop presentations on the final weekend, and the main evening concerts featuring electronic, jazzy, and classical artists shaped the festival into a distinct programmatic invention — one that the Festspielhaus has consciously embraced for years as an anchor for a younger cultural generation.
