More than Jazz
ÜBERJAZZ is not a jazz festival in the classic sense. Since 2010, the festival has dissolved genre boundaries, bringing contemporary jazz into dialogue with soul, hip-hop, ambient, neo-classical, Tropicália, and experimental electronics. Four Kampnagel halls are used simultaneously, and the audience moves freely between the stages — a single ticket opens all spaces.
Kampnagel as Home
The venue is Kampnagel at Jarrestraße 20 in Winterhude, a former machine factory and now one of the most important international production houses for free arts in Germany. The raw industrial spaces offer the festival an atmosphere that other jazz festivals lack: nothing here resembles concert hall conventions, everything evokes an open sound space.
International Standard
In recent years, artists such as Moses Sumney, Kamaal Williams, Poppy Ajudha, GoGo Penguin, Adi Suleiman, Bilal, Kassa Overall, Saul Williams, Gary Bartz, Adrian Younge, Kahil El'Zabar, the NDR Bigband, and many others have performed at ÜBERJAZZ. The festival has earned an international reputation — also through media partners like ByteFM and hhv-mag.com.
Organizers and Funding
The organizer is Karsten Jahnke Konzertdirektion GmbH together with Kampnagel. The festival is funded by the Hamburg Authority for Culture and Media. District: Winterhude, Borough Hamburg-Nord.
ÜBERJAZZ — edition 2026
ÜBERJAZZ 2026
From Thursday, November 19 to Saturday, November 21, 2026, the ÜBERJAZZ Festival will transform Kampnagel for the 16th time into a post-genre sound space. Four halls simultaneously, one ticket opens everything.
First Confirmations
Sam Gendel & Sam Wilkes from Los Angeles will perform on Saturday, November 21, 2026 — the experimental duo blends contemporary jazz with electronic processing and is one of the defining voices of the current West Coast scene. More confirmations will follow over the summer and autumn of 2026.
Concept
ÜBERJAZZ sees itself as a festival that consciously dissolves the boundaries between jazz and neighboring genres. The curation deliberately invites a generation of musicians who work between tradition and reinvention.
