For two years, the Festival Village has been the contact point for all festival and professional visitors for the registration – this year you will also find the bag storage room and the free bicycle parking facilities there.

Moreover, the Village has established itself as a cozy oasis away from the hustle and bustle of the Reeperbahn where, protected by sea containers, you can have a break from the hectic activity, eat, enjoy art, presentations and selected acts. In addition the Festival Village will offer its own programme: Since the first day selected newcomer acts can be seen on the Fritz Stage, at the new Music Makers Playground you can visit the exhibition of well-known music companies and instrument manufacturers such as Yamaha, Allen Heath, Shure, D´Addario, Klotz Cables, K&M, Audio Technica, Instrument of things, Happy Ears Earplugs, CMS Pedalboards, Gold Super & Thomas Blug Amplifiers, and get in touch with brand representatives. On the Future Playground with its Future Dome at the centre, apart from the United Nations, various initiatives will present future visions and sustainability approaches while the Arts Playground will offer all visitors a cinema as well as exciting exhibitions, installations and interactive modules in a container group. Those who fancy some exercise in the evening can get it to the music of DJ Mad and Gigi Amando from Mojo Club and enter Rollerskate Jam! Roller skates can be rented at the rink already at midday.
