Welcome to Danube! We are ready to charm music lovers once again with the next edition of the Danube Festival July 5th to 7th 2024. Scheduled to take place at the scenic Kiekebusch See, adjacent to the BER Airport. Scroll down for more information and tickets.
We promise a weekend full of musical experiences and cultural exchange, with the environment of nature and the airport scenery featuring planes gracefully landing and taking off on the horizon. The short journey from the heart of Berlin ensures that every festival-goer can easily reach the venue and enjoy non-stop dancing on the floors for the entire weekend.
Hosting the 2nd stage at the festival, Slapfunk and Yoyaku, renowned for their outstanding events and label contributions, join forces to bring their international flair from Amsterdam and Paris. Half Baked from London, celebrated for their carefully curated lineups, teams up with Resolute from Brooklyn, promising a special experience. Additionally, the inclusion of O Mato from Berlin, whose dedication to open-air culture adds further excitement to the festival.
The mission of Danube lies in creating a space where individuals from all over the world can come together, share moments and connect through music. The festival aims to give back to the cultural tapestry that makes cities like Berlin interesting and unique. Practically everyone involved, whether it’s before, during, or after the festival, shares a close friendship. The main goal is therefore the welcoming vibe at the festival and to create a place for the open air culture in this region with a festival for a whole weekend with music nonstop on two stages. You will also find a chillout- and downtempo-area, a food court and different light- and art-installations.
Last year, we proudly hosted the “Rhythms of Revolution” exhibition, delving into the institutions and influential figures behind techno and house music. Exploring their rich history and cultural significance, the exhibition painted a vivid picture of the movements shaping the electronic music landscape. This year, an open call for artists is extended to contribute to the exhibition
“With the successes of their Danube festival year in year out, they have quickly made a name for themselves as serious curators, and festival hosts as editions have seen a plethora of minimal’s most exciting artists playing under the planes at Kiekebusch See”
