A Summer's Tale Festival
A Summer's Tale will take place in Luhmühlen (near Hamburg) for the third time this year. From August 2nd till 5th it will be a celebration going beyond the framework of a pure music festival. Think of it as a short holiday! In addition to concerts and DJ sets, the A Summer's Tale will offer many other cultural highlights: movie screens, stages for readings and much more are going to transform the festival area into a cross-cultural microcosm for culture in all its facets. Moreover, there are active and creative workshops such as D.I.Y. and yoga sessions, canoe trips, excursions to the green surroundings, and many more activities for the entire family. A Summer's Tale is also characterized by pleasure and comfort. The culinary offer presents high quality dishes and when it comes to housing, the festival is tailored to individual preferences. Relaxation zones and retreats as well as the respectful handling of the nature all around are firmly anchored in the festival's concept.

M'era Luna Festival
Black but unbelievably colourful: Since 2000, the M’era Luna festival at the airfield Hildesheim-Drispenstedt is the meeting spot of the black scene from all over Europe. Every year well over 40 bands make sure that the 25,000 guests experience an unforgettable weekend. Of course, music from genres such as goth rock, electro, medieval rock or metal are in the focal point – but most of the extravagantly dressed guests conceive the always sold-out festival as more of a family meeting. And there really is more than music to discover – be it a medieval market, a fashion show, lectures or black disco nights. Additionally, guests may delve into a wide range of different foods that far surpass the usual festival fair. In addition to fried classics, the food court offers savoury and sweet dishes from all over the world.

Highfield Festival
After twelve successful years in Thuringia the biggest indie rock festival in eastern Germany has been held in Saxony since 2010. The festival grounds are located on the peninsula of Magdeborn on the shores of the Störmthal lake in the municipality of Großpösna next to Leipzig. The area offers plenty of space for three days of live concerts of national and international acclaim. The camping area is equally spacious and can accommodate all 35,000 Highfield fans – and more. People who like to camp a little more comfortably may take advantage of one of many lodging possibilities offering a superior camping experience. Of course, all guests can relax if they want to – thanks to the Störmthal lake that also offers adrenalin rushes: The possibilities range from banana boats and tube riding to kiting, paddle boards and beach volleyball. The festival’s very own radio station Beck’s Camp FM broadcasts live from the festival – and is available online all year round.

Summer, sunshine, the Chiemsee lake right in front of your nose and the mountains close behind you – this is what Chiemsee Summer is all about. Four days of party, love, coolness and freedom: Hip hop, rock and electro fuse into the most genius music variety in Germany. But the festival in Übersee offers a lot more than music and party: The closeness to the Chiemsee enables visitors to enjoy sunny pastimes at the beach as well as a lot of exciting activities such as several water sports. A shuttle service makes sure that the short transit to the longest beach in southern Germany is as effortless as possible. You can hear the soundtrack to all this on Beck’s Camp FM, the festival’s very own radio station that is also available as a web stream throughout the year.
