DNA Festival 2026 - 2vs2 All Style Battle & Warm Up-Party

In the organizer's words:

DANCE IS OUR LANGUAGE, ATTITUDE IS OUR LEGACY

We're going into the second round: the DNA Festival is returning in 2026 - and this time for a whole three days. Hamburg will once again become a meeting place for everything that makes up urban culture: dance, music, art and, above all, the people behind it. Genuine, loud, creative and international. DNA is more than just movement. It's about attitude, about expression, about what connects us. Dance is our language. Attitude is our legacy. That's exactly what you can feel here - on stage, in the audience and everywhere in between.HipHop Academy Hamburg and its partners are launching the festival together. With a lot of experience, strong networks and, above all, with a heart for culture. Breaking, hip-hop dance, street art, rap and DJing are the basis. But it's actually about more: about voices that want to be heard, about exchange, about community. And about showing how diverse and vibrant urban culture really is.

Program & schedule Friday:
The "2VS2 ALL STYLE BATTLE" brings the street dance scene together and promises energetic vibes, spectacular moves and exciting duels.
