Female Festival 2026 Mönchengladbach

In the artist's words:

Mönchengladbach will become a stage for strong voices, great emotions and pointed entertainment in winter 2026: at the Female Festival Mönchengladbach, exceptional female artists from the fields of comedy, cabaret, music and performance will present their current programs - bold, funny, touching and inspiring. Under the motto "By women. For everyone." the festival invites you to celebrate perspectives that move, connect and empower.

Between November 27 and December 20, the audience can look forward to a diverse line-up of renowned acts and exciting newcomers. The line-up includes Pam Pengco with the Comedy Youngstars, the cult duo Puderdose, actress and author Anna Schäfer, award-winning comedienne Negah Amiri, musical star Judith Döker, Simone Solga as well as Anissa Loucif, Laura Brümmer and Nicole Jäger.

With special highlights such as Germany's largest women's choir, a performance by Elke Winter, a program by TV presenter Panagiota Petridou, chanson cabaret by Sarah Hakenberg and winter music by Alex Behrens, the festival impressively demonstrates the diversity of female stagecraft.

The events take place mainly at the TIG Theater, but also at Projekt 42 and the Kaiser-Friedrich-Halle, transforming the city into a cultural meeting place for encounters, exchange and inspiration.
