Life as it should be. Music that brings us together.

Four summer days filled with music, new encounters, and unforgettable moments in Maurice-Ravel Park. Here, international festival vibes blend with the laid-back atmosphere of a neighborhood festival to create a unique experience.

On the rolling hills, a diverse program awaits you, featuring live bands, singer-songwriters, and DJs who’ll provide the soundtrack for a long summer weekend. Make yourselves comfortable with your favorite people on picnic blankets or lounge chairs, discover the variety of food and drink on offer, and enjoy the special atmosphere under the open sky.

Whether over a cool drink, a good meal, or on the dance floor—this is where connections are made, memories are created, and true festival moments unfold. Together, we celebrate summer, life, and the joy of being together.

Music

Our music program is once again a mix of different styles this year. From the very beginning, it was important to us to curate a gender-balanced lineup. We’ve succeeded in doing so again this year:

We’ll be featuring spectacular global and danceable sounds from BB Tomaz, Betrayers of Babylon, Davina Soleil and Ilyas Samy, Jembaa Groove, Jule Blumt, Los Pipos, Muito Kaballa, Pablu, Pier, Ruka, Manon Laure, Hermann, and Lucie Licht.

The DJ collective SAFE invites you to chill and dance together on the lawn right at the entrance to the festival grounds.

Donation

As we did last year, we kindly ask for your support with a small donation of 4,- (for all visitors aged 18 and older) per visit to help cover some of the immense costs and risks associated with the event. The donation (you’ll receive a wristband) entitles you to free use of the restrooms.

Sponsors: Stadtsparkasse Düsseldorf, Stadtwerke Düsseldorf, Metro, arndtteunissen, supercoaster, 25h, ClimAid

Sustainability is very close to our hearts. All food and beverage vendors will implement this accordingly.
