Feel Festival

Four days filled with music, connection, and the joy of freedom: From July 23 to 26, 2026 , Lake Bergheider in Lower Lusatia will once again transform into a vibrant festival destination. The Feel Festival invites you to break down barriers together and immerse yourself in an atmosphere where connection, exchange, and change are truly palpable.

On 17 lovingly designed stages, over 400 acts from a wide variety of genres will perform—from techno, house, and disco to hip-hop and indie, all the way to rock and live music. Established artists will meet up-and-coming newcomers, curated by more than 40 collectives such as BCCO, Crème Club, Cura Berlin, Heisss, Toy Tonics, Sachsentrance, and many more. As is the case every year, the exact lineup will remain a secret until the festival begins.

But the vibe is more than just music: art installations, light projections, workshops, discussions, and talks on sustainable and queer-feminist topics invite you to explore, reflect, and linger. Set amidst forests, sandy beaches, and the clear waters of Lake Bergheide, 96 hours unfold in which solidarity and openness are truly lived out.
