Description
Held annually in late September, the four-day Reeperbahn Festival, a hybrid of music festival and international platform for the music and digital industries, is a trailblazing, forward-looking event for music fans and industry professionals alike around Hamburg’s Reeperbahn.
Since its debut in 2006, the Festival has grown to become one of the most important meeting places for the music industry worldwide, and, as Europe’s largest club festival, it boasts a broad spectrum of emerging artists. It is a source of inspiration that shapes the future of music and society, and whose impact extends well beyond the four days of the event. One example of this is Keychange, the Europe-wide gender equality initiative launched at Reeperbahn Festival in 2017.
The live music line-up with 500 concerts of international acts encompasses all the major current musical genres and trends. Together, the audience, music business professionals and artists discover new music and talents in the clubs of St. Pauli. Embodying this voyage of discovery is the international music competition ANCHOR – Reeperbahn Festival International Music Award. Its high-profile international jury, headed by legendary producer Tony Visconti, selects the winner of the award for most promising talent from six nominees, helping them on their way to establishing an international career.
Music business visitors will find a wide range of sessions, lectures, networking events and award ceremonies, which help them foster and expand their existing networks as well as discuss and exchange ideas.
