Thank you for a great Reeperbahn Festival 2018!
After four dazzling days, which were quite gusty at times, the 13th edition of the Reeperbahn Festival has come to an end – huge THANKS to all festival and conference guests, also for your spontaneous choice of concerts and your flexibility. The ANCHOR goes to two acts this year: Tamino and Faces on TV – congratulations! We were pleased to welcome over 45,000 guests on four days, 5,500 of them were delegates from 56 nations! Our highlights in word, image and video will give you the chance to pass the festival in review!
The Keychange Day on Thursday was completely dedicated to the topic of gender equality in the music business. Three concert productions, specially created for the Reeperbahn Festival by Get Well Soon, David August and Bear’s Den, received standing ovations.
Reeperbahn Festival 2019 will take place from 18 to 21September with focusing Australia as a country partner! Early-bird tickets for the festival and the conference are available now.
