Habitat Festival (Hamburg, Germany) 2026

About

Beginning on July 18 and continuing uninterrupted until July 19, Habitat Festival 2026 returns to the distinctive MS Artville grounds in Hamburg-Wilhelmsburg for another edition of its celebrated 32-hour nonstop rave. Set against the industrial backdrop of Hamburg’s harbour district, the music festival has established itself as one of Germany’s most respected underground electronic gatherings by bringing together cutting-edge techno, electro and house music with an atmosphere built around collective escapism and artistic freedom. This year’s lineup features standout names including KI/KI, Marcel Dettmann, Avalon Emerson, DJ Gigola, Jayda G, Interplanetary Criminal, Mischluft, Marie Montexier, Yanamaste, Alarico, Sama’ Abdulhadi and Nastia, alongside an extensive selection of emerging talents and live performers spanning multiple electronic styles.

Previous editions have earned widespread acclaim for showcasing influential international artists while maintaining a strong connection to Hamburg’s thriving local scene, creating a programme that feels both adventurous and authentic. Across more than thirty continuous hours, carefully designed stages, immersive lighting concepts and powerful sound systems transform the harbour landscape into a constantly evolving dancefloor where the music never stops, regardless of the hour. Rather than following the formula of conventional festivals, Habitat encourages visitors to lose themselves in its maze-like site, where unexpected performances, creative installations and spontaneous moments become part of the overall experience. With its uncompromising musical curation, welcoming community spirit and unforgettable industrial setting, Habitat Festival 2026 once again promises one of the most distinctive electronic music weekends on the European summer calendar.
