It will get loud: Hamburg gets a new festival in 2026!

When rock music reinvented itself once again and became the defining sound of the 90s, its sheer power turned international pop music certainties completely upside down. This reverberation can still be clearly felt today: unbridled energy that breaks through in guitar feedback, harsh noise and drum thunderstorms, setting the frustrations and fears of entire generations to music and making them palpable.
This is exactly where AMPLIFIRE, Hamburg's new festival, comes in.

AMPLIFIRE presents two days of guitar music between alternative rock, post-hardcore and punk rock in the green and colorful oasis of Hamburg's harbor, which is also known to many music fans through festivals such as MS Dockville, Spektrum or Habitat.

The program of over 30 favourite bands, insider tips and newcomers, lovingly curated by fans for fans, brings the passion and energy of this music to Hamburg for a weekend.

We are looking forward to rousing shows by Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls with a mix of punk, folk, alternative and heavy rock attacks, to Turbostaat, who will be performing their successful album "Vormann Leiss" in its entirety, to songwriter and Against Me! frontwoman Laura Jane Grace, Dutch post-hardcore band John Coffey, British Y2K alternative rockers South Arcade, Norwegian punk rockers Blood Command with their Australian frontwoman Nikki Brumen, the first German show in 12 years by post-hardcore band Tribute To Nothing, who are celebrating the 20th anniversary of their successful album "Vormann Leiss". anniversary of their successful album "How Many Times Did We Live?", the phenomenal punk rock collective Jools, the punk rock hits of Latin riot grrrl Karen Dió, the energetic German emo metallers Seven Blood, the wild hardcore punk wrecking ball Rauchen, the five-piece emo-pop band Still Talk and much more.
