Since we first wrote this article in , it has been earning a higher position every year.
We visited this festival ourselves the last three years and it offers a perfect mix of beach, musoric and versatile music. Feel festival is located directly at the Bergheider See , which is km south of Berlin.
The fact that you can camp almost directly on the beach of this lake makes the Feel Festival a perfect festival to relax during the day and enjoy music at night. The photo below gives you an impression of this German weekend-festival in The Feel Festival is organised in the second weekend of July 5th till 9th. The line-up will be kept secret till a few days before the festival: The organisation wants you to visit the festival for everything it has to offer, not just for the headliners. If you want to read more about the Feel Festival and its line-up you can read my full article of Feel Just like the ranking in this article, also the price of the festival went up the last couple of years.
Also the amount of visitors has more than doubled since , this year the organisation expects Feel Festival Address: Bergheider See Distance to Berlin: Electro, Techno, Bands Amount of days: Not available before the festival. A German festival which not many people across the boarders of Germany might heard about, is called Nation of Gondwana. Still this festival has been taking place since and therefore it is one of the older German festivals in this list. Where other festivals have been growing very rapidly e. Feel Festival, Fusion , the organisation of Nation of Gondwana are keeping the festival small on purpose.
This way they can ascertain that the atmosphere stays as great as it has been so far. The festival has about visitors about 8 times smaller than Fusion yearly and is organised about 60km from Berlin. Just like most other festivals in this list, the festival is located close to some water so you can also decide to take it easy during daytime.
Nations of Gondwana does not really focus on famous headliners but mainly offers talented DJs from Germany. The music can be best compared to the music which you can hear in the Berliner clubs. Besides music you can also expect plenty of other activities like workshops and shows at this festival. The festival officially starts on Friday-night Tickets are not available yet but will be available in the beginning of April.
Make sure you keep track of the exact date of the ticket-sales because last year the tickets were sold out very fast. Nation of Gondwana Address: In , more than 20 years ago, some of the most popular German Festivals were organised for the first time. This dance-festival is located at an abandoned colliery which goes by the name Ferropolis. The Ferropolis is often referred to as the City of Iron because a lot of large machines and old cranes can still be found on this island.
This might not sound spectacular at first, but the island is a very spectacular location for a festival.
Besides a great location Melt also offers 12 different stages, versatile music and a massive campsite not far from the water. Famous acts Compared to the first three German festivals in this list, Melt offers more Headliners. The organisation always makes sure that the visitors can enjoy plenty of famous DJs and bands. Three years ago I went to Melt festival by car and it took me a bit more than 1 hour to reach the Ferropolis.
If you want to read more about my experiences you can read this article about the Melt Festival. Melt officially starts at Friday the 13th of July but you can already enter the campsite on Thursday. The better spots will still be available then so this might be a smart thing to do. Melt Festival Address: Electro, Techno, Bands, Rock Amount of days: A solid 5th place on this goes to a German festival called Sputnik Springbreak. When people discuss the best festivals in Germany, they usually mention Melt and Fusion but Sputnik is definitely worth your consideration as well.
Names like Steve Aoki, Paul Kalkbrenner and Oliver Koletzki should show you that this festival is seriously competing for a high position in this list. The Sputnik Springbreak festival is organised on an island called Pouch and is located about km from Berlin. As you can read these are all DJs who focus on Deephouse rather than techno.
Therefore Sputnik Springbreak could be a good decision if you like more melodic livesets. Comparing this festival to some of the other German festivals in , the tickets for Sputnik Springbreak have an average price: Weekend-Tickets can be bought for Euro. All in all Sputnik Springbreak is a great festival, the only thing which might bother some of the older readers, is the fact that there are many young people at this festival especially compared to Fusion, Melt and Nation of Gondwana.
Why visit Sputnik Springbreak? Sputnik Springbreak offers a awesome line-up if you like deephouse. The price is reasonable and the island Pouch is a great location for a festival. Festivals like Melt and Fusion are known all over Europe but most of you probably never heard of the event Her Damit.
This may be connected to the fact that Her Damit is a much smaller festival than the first ones in this list: Last year only people visited this dance-festival and therefore the atmosphere was very nice, cosy and friendly. The Secret Forest The secret forest is located a little bit outside a small village called Freudenberg. As mentioned above it is very easy to reach the location from Berlin. Besides plenty of green you will be able to see bunkers and many other historical spots on this new location of the Her Damit Festival.
The campsite will open on Friday and the music will stop on Sunday-Evening. The fact that Her Damit is smaller than most German festivals in this list is also part of its charm. Massive festivals like Melt or Hurricane are impressive but can also be annoying: There might be traffic jams when you drive there and if you party with a large group you will lose each other all the time.
The ticket-prices of Her Damit Festival are average compared to the other German weekend-festivals in this list. A great thing about Her Damit Festival is, that you are allowed to bring your own drinks to the festival also the dance-floors. Besides that the prices for food and drinks on the festival itself are very reasonable as well.
All you have to do is tag a friend under this facebook-post. The winners will be communicated a few weeks before the festival. Why visit Her Damit ? Big does not always mean better: Her Damit is a cosy and friendly festival on a great location in the middle of the nature. The year was quite a special year for German festivals because besides Melt and Fusion it was also the first year SonneMondSterne was organised.
In that year, already more than 20 years ago, only people visited the festival SonneMondSterne. Nowadays SonneMondSterne got a lot larger and more popular and last year more than Focus on DJs only If you do not care that much about bands and artists and just want to see famous DJs, the festival SonneMondSterne might have the most impressive line-up of A small disadvantage of SonneMondSterne is that this festival is ending on Sunday at Therefore it is one of the more expensive German festivals in because the tickets are Euro.
Besides that it is also a bit further away from Berlin: You need to calculate about 3 hours at least for the ride. Why visit SonneMondSterne ? If your want to see famous Headliner-DJs and you do not mind to pay a bit more, you will have a great time at SonneMondSterne. A festival which was added to this list of German festivals last year, is the Wurzel Festival.
Although the festival does not have a long history like Melt and Fusion, it has been a great success so far. The small festival is organised by a group of friends who have been responsible for many great open-airs in Berlin in the last couple of years. The Wurzel Festival will take place about 70km from Berlin and the main focus of the festival is great music and an even better atmosphere.
This location fits the festival very well because it gives it that special Berliner-vibe which we all love so much.
Besides great music there will also be plenty of workshops, a market-place and a foodcourt with plenty of delicious things to eat and drink. There will be 6 different stages which all focus on different music-styles: You can find it all on the Wurzel Festival.
Accessible for Wheelchairs The philosophy of the Wurzel Festival states, that everybody should be able to have a great time. Therefore the festival does not refuse people for their religion, skin-colour, nationality or sexuality. Additionally, they also made the festival accessible for wheelchairs.
Want to win free tickets for this festival? All you have to do is tag a friend under this facebook-post and the winners will be published on facebook a few weeks before the festival. Wurzel Festival Address: Electronic Music Amount of days 3 Line-up: Kaputzki, Dezibel, Tanianta, Mabiranon and many more. A German festival which offers a lot of versatile music-styles is called Hurricane.
When you like to see a mix of large bands, some DJs and plenty of great solo-artists, Hurricane could suit you very well. It is located a bit further away from Berlin, but a bit closer to the Netherlands and some other countries. I have mentioned a few times that the festivals should be combined with visiting Berlin, but in this case a trip to Hamburg or Bremen would make more sense.
Hamburg is a great city and there are plenty of cool clubs and parties over there as well. Unfortunately it is also the most expensive one because tickets cost Euro.
But if you keep in mind that visiting concerts of the artists which are performing often cost more than 50 Euro each, the price is justified. Maybe it helps when we just sum up some names which will performing on this German weekend-festival in Of course there will also be some DJs: Moonbootica, Martin Jensen and Eskei83 are the first names which are published. The camping of the Hurricane Festival will open on Thursday During Hurricane the organisation asks to respect the sleeping hours between If this is something positive or negative is totally up to you.
All additional information can be found on the website below. Why visit Hurricane Festival? Being part of one of the biggest German festivals is a once in a lifetime experience.
Besides that the line-up rocks! Hurricane Festival Address: The Lollapalooza festival has its roots in the USA but will take place in 6 different countries in Besides Brasil, Argentina and Chile the festival is also organised in the capital of Germany. It will actually be the fourth time it takes place here: In the festival was organised at Flughafen Tempelhof and last year it took place at the Rennbahn Hoppegarten. This year Lollapalooza can be found at the Olympiastadion, which is about 30 minutes with the S-Bahn from Alexanderplatz.
If you want to read more about the Lollapalooza festival, you can check out our review of Lollapalooza The Lollapalooza festival offers a great range of music-styles. You can listen to talented DJs, enjoy famous artists and party with popular bands. The line-up of Lollapalooza will be published soon and then we will update the names here. The tickets start at Euro and go up to Euro. This is a bit more than most other festivals in this article, especially because no camping is included.
No camping To reach most of the festivals in this list, you have to travel a bit: Most of them are more than km away and if you do not have a car it can take several hours to get there. If this would bother you, you might want to visit Lollapalooza. But at this German festival you cannot stay overnight. The music will be played between noon and midnight and after that everybody goes home and comes back the next day. This can be a negative thing if you like camping, but it can also be nice if you like to sleep in a solid bed and have a normal breakfast. Just book a hostel or hotel in Berlin and you will have a great time.
A great thing about having to travel back to the center can be that you can still visit one of the great Parties in Berlin. Watch out that your hangover is not too big on the second day of Lollapalooza though. Lollapalooza Festival Berlin Address: Berlin Distance from Berlin: Bands, Artiesten, Electro Amount of Days: The Airbeat One Festival is one of the biggest German festivals and will be organised for the 17th time this year.
Last year about Compared to festivals like Nation of Gondwana and Fusion, this German festivals focuses a bit less on the music-style Techno which is very popular in Berlin. There will be 5 different stages so you will most likely find some great music every moment of the day. Besides that there will also be plenty of German and international DJs: The line-up is different from most other festivals and if you like the harder-styles this festival could definitely make sense for you.
There will be several types of tickets: You can visit the festival for just one day and this will cost you 59 Euro. You can also stay the whole weekend and pay Euro. Airbeat One Festival Address: Neustadt-Glewe, Flugplatz Distance from Berlin: Berlin has a lot to offer when it comes to parties and festivals, but it is not the only German city with an awesome nightlife.
Take Hamburg for example, sometimes referred to as a smaller sized Berlin and a city which offers plenty of cool clubs, bars and festivals.

One of these festivals is MS Dockville, which had more than Hamburg can be reached within 3 hours from Berlin and why not combine the festival MS Dockville with a trip to this fascinating German city. MS Dockville offers plenty of interesting acts and the price of a ticket is reasonable. At this moment you can still buy ticket for only 99 Euro including camping but they will go up soon to Euro. MS Dockville does not focus on one specific music-style: You can expect bands, DJs and solo-artists here.
The line-up is far from complete yet but names like Bonobo, Job Jobse, Faber, Everything Everything, Erobique have already confirmed that they will be present. Why visit MS Dockville?
If you have been to Berlin many times and want to see another great German city, you could combine this festival with some days in Hamburg. Besides that the line-up is great and the price is reasonable. A German festival which is very close to Berlin but still organised directly at the water, is Helene Beach festival.
This festival will be organised close to Frankfurt-Oder which is about one hour drive from Berlin. It takes place near a lake called Helene , which is the cleanest lake of Brandenburg and about hectare large. Last year we visited Helene Beach Festival myself and I can guarantee that it is great to have a large beach where you can lay during the day and wait till you are ready to party again. At most other German festivals e. Melt and Fusion you can swim but there is not really a large beach with enough space for all the visitors to lay down at the same time.
The Helene Beach Festival offers 8 different stages. Besides electronic music you can also expect HipHop, Bands and talented artists. Although the line-up is not complete yet, some large international names already confirmed they will be there: The price of this German festival in is more than reasonable: Starting from 94 Euro you can buy the tickets online or at certain shops. The music on the Helene Beach Festival starts on Friday around Write a customer review.
