2007 Reeperbahn Festival

The Reeperbahn Festival is the event many music lovers were wishing for but did not even dare to ask for. With a special 3-day long music festival on the Hamburger Reeperbahn, the city of Hamburg, Germany will transform again into a live music capital for three days with a pop-cultural-event that has never been experienced before – THE REEPERBAHN FESTIVAL!

From September 27-29, 2007, 15,000 festival goers will have the chance to see over 120 live shows on 15 stages in venues such as concert halls, theaters, clubs and bars on and around the Reeperbahn. What could be a better idea than using the world famous “mile” with its lively and vibrant live club scene, with its theatres and bars that are one of a kind in Europe, as a centre for this festival?

National and international acts will headline, supported by the best in up and coming new bands. Online submissions through Sonicbids are open to artists worldwide – and there will be three slots reserved for Sonicbids bands from North America and another three slots reserved for Sonicbids bands from Europe (must be 1000 km or more from Hamburg). The artists selected for these six performance slots will receive $1000 USD (half will be paid upon written acceptance of Reeperbahn’s invitation to play and proof of travel arrangements to the Reeperbahn Festival and the other half will be paid after the performance). For emerging bands, special airline rates and hotels will be provided.

Acts will be from all music genres, with a guideline for the festival and submitting artists being: LISTEN TODAY TO WHAT IS HOT TOMORROW. If your music fits this, submit today!

The Reeperbahn Festival is a co-production of Karsten Jahnke Konzertdirektion GmbH and Inferno Events GmbH & Co. KG. The cultural and economical authorities of the city of Hamburg as well as the Hamburg Marketing GmbH are the main-supporters of this event.
