Diverse programme planned
The Reeperbahn Festival has brought music, business and society together in Hamburg since 2006. Clubs, concert halls, cinemas, galleries and off-spaces on St. Pauli become venues during the festival. Apart from the many music acts, the agenda features readings, film screenings and exhibitions as well as panels, lectures, galas, award ceremonies and networking events for professionals. The "Hamburg Haus" set up by the Interessengemeinschaft Hamburger Musikwirtschaft (IHM), offers artists, companies and institutions a space to network and present themselves.
