NEXT loves Reeperbahn Festival!

Reeperbahn Festival 2026 – September 16-19!

The Reeperbahn Festival, featuring over 600 concerts and events, along with a conference for music professionals and creatives, attracts more than 50,000 visitors annually.

The largest music platform in Germany creates a vibrant framework for the NEXT Conference and offers some fantastic extras.

Be sure to check out the Reeperbahn Festival website regularly for updates on acts and locations.

A unique benefit for NEXT attendees

With a NEXT25 ticket, attendees have full access to the Reeperbahn Festival conference programme. In addition, NEXT25 ticket holders receive a wristband for the music programme and concerts on Thursday.

To attend concerts on other days (Wednesday, Friday, or Saturday), attendees can purchase additional wristbands in advance on the Reeperbahn Festival website.

Please collect your Reeperbahn Festival wristband when entering NEXT25 and keep your NEXT badge with you at all times.
