Opening Show
Schmidts TivoliThe Opening Show marks the start of Reeperbahn Festival 2026. This year, under the motto "Forever Legit?", we invite you to gain a holistic understanding of the music industry and to (maybe) question the changes it is undergoing. We want to listen to young voices, open up spaces and enable genuine participation. Who decides what will still be considered legitimate tomorrow – and why do we often still not listen enougt to the younger generations?
