Kick Me Back (Neumunster, Germany) 2026

Kick Me Back returns to the Holstenhallen in Neumunster on 14 November 2026, a revival rave bringing the hard trance and dance sound of the late 1990s and early 2000s back to Schleswig-Holstein on a larger scale than before. The Holstenhallen is the regional exhibition centre at Justus-von-Liebig-Strasse 2 to 4, which gives the event the hall space it needs.

The line up reads as a roll call of the German hard dance era. Charly Lownoise, Starsplash, Special D., Master Blaster, DJ Gollum, Derb, Shaun Baker, DJs @ Work, DJ Dean and Jens O. in his Real Booty Babes guise are all confirmed, with more names still to be added. Kick Me Back has run editions at the Atrium in Kiel and as a boat party, and the Neumunster hall is the biggest room it has used.

Tickets are sold through Eventim Light, and the organisers list the Altes Stahlwerk hotel in Neumunster for anyone staying over. Neumunster sits on the main line between Hamburg and Kiel, 40 minutes from Hamburg and 25 from Kiel by train, with the Holstenhallen a short walk from the station. For a German revival rave music festival, the booking is as complete as it gets.
