Feel Festival 2027 – Electronic Music Germany

What to expect in 2027

Feel Festival 2027 will take place from 22 to 25 July 2027 at Bergheider See in Lichterfeld-Schacksdorf, Brandenburg. The festival combines electronic music with hip-hop, indie, rock, punk, disco and live music, while also bringing together art installations, workshops, talks, wellness activities and other creative experiences. The official festival describes the 2027 edition as featuring 17 individually designed stages, more than 40 collectives, over 400 acts and 96 hours of programming.

The festival is intentionally different from a conventional electronic event built around a small number of headline acts. Feel keeps its complete lineup secret until the festival begins, allowing the programme to retain an element of surprise. Instead of publishing a traditional list of all performers months in advance, the organizers announce participating collectives and provide playlists from previous editions so visitors can get a sense of the festival’s musical direction.

The 2027 edition will again combine music with the natural surroundings of the Bergheider See. Visitors can expect long nights around the stages, daytime activities near the water, yoga, karaoke, art and light installations, workshops and discussions. The official 2027 description specifically highlights sustainability and queer-feminist perspectives within the wider programme.

Camping is integrated into the festival experience. Unlike many festivals where camping is located separately from the main event, Feel describes the camping and festival area as essentially one shared site. Visitors with regular tent camping can set up in permitted areas while keeping paths and restricted zones clear.

Event dates

Feel Festival 2027 takes place from Thursday, 22 July, to Sunday, 25 July 2027 at Bergheider See in Lichterfeld-Schacksdorf.

The festival’s 2027 website already confirms the four-day dates. Detailed daily opening times and final 2027 arrival arrangements have not yet been published, so visitors should check the official information closer to the event.

The previous edition provides an indication of the operating pattern. In 2026, the main entrance opened Thursday afternoon, with later arrival windows on Friday and Saturday and a shorter arrival period on Sunday. The 2026 festival also continued with an afterhour until Monday afternoon, giving campers additional time on site after the principal programme.

The extended format means that visitors booking accommodation or transport should consider the full festival period rather than planning only around individual evening performances.

Venue & festival site

Venue: Bergheider See

Address: Bergheider Straße 4, 03238 Lichterfeld-Schacksdorf, Brandenburg, Germany

Feel Festival is held at Bergheider See in the municipality of Lichterfeld-Schacksdorf in Brandenburg. The site is approximately 60 kilometres north of Dresden, 100 kilometres east of Leipzig, 106 kilometres south of Berlin and 40 kilometres west of Cottbus.

The setting combines forest, sandy areas and the lake with the industrial landscape of the former Lusatian mining region. The nearby F60 overburden conveyor bridge is one of the most distinctive landmarks around the festival area and forms part of the wider visitor experience.

For 2027, the official website confirms 17 individually designed stages, each intended to create its own musical and visual world. Rather than concentrating the event around one large main stage, Feel spreads its programme throughout the site.

Camping is incorporated directly into the festival environment. Visitors with tents can generally camp on the festival grounds in permitted areas, while specific areas may be reserved or closed. The organizer asks campers to keep pathways clear and respect barriers and restricted sections.

The Bergheider See itself is also part of the festival atmosphere. Swimming is permitted at designated bathing areas, although visitors should follow the current safety instructions and only swim in appropriate locations.

Full lineup

The complete Feel Festival 2027 lineup will not be released before the festival. This is a deliberate part of the event’s concept: the organizers traditionally keep the full lineup secret until the festival begins so that visitors can discover artists and performances without building the entire weekend around a conventional headliner list.

What is already confirmed is the scale of the 2027 programme:

• 17 stages
• More than 40 collectives
• More than 400 acts
• 96 hours of Feel
• Music ranging from electronic sounds to hip-hop, indie, rock, punk, disco and live music

The 2026 participating collectives included AOS, BAU122, BCCO, Berliner Techno Zähne, Bipolar, Crème Club, Cura Berlin, Decompression, Dubcafe, Duct Tape, Gabber Industries, GGVYBE, Glotze Crew, HEISSS, Home Again, HVY, KUKUMU, Layers, M.A.S. Limited, Mimosa, Mystic Creatures, Mitmischen, Niuee Invites, Nonchalance, Notinmyhouse, Paryia, Plot, Polyamor, Porzellan Bar, Power, Puls, Rise, Sachsentrance, Scheißmukke, Selected, Sensus, Sesh, Seven, Shockwerk, Slic Unit, System Error, Teenage Dreams, THF Radio, Toy Tonics, VAG and VG+.

These collectives are previous-edition references and should not be treated as confirmed 2027 performers.

Headliners & featured artists

Feel Festival does not follow the conventional headliner model as closely as many large electronic festivals. Because the full lineup remains secret until the festival begins, visitors cannot rely on a pre-published list of 2027 headline artists. The organizers instead emphasize a mixture of established artists and emerging performers across the different stages.

The 2026 programme included collectives such as Toy Tonics, BCCO, Crème Club, Sachsentrance, Gabber Industries, HEISSS, Teenage Dreams, Mystic Creatures and Cura Berlin. These groups represent different areas of contemporary electronic and subcultural music.

Earlier Feel editions have also featured recognizable DJs and live performers. Historical timetables show artists including Martin Eyerer, Sarah Wild, Pablo Bozzi, Marie Montexier, Martha van Straaten, Britta Arnold, Teenage Mutants, Josi Miller, Sophie and other electronic, live and alternative acts.

For 2027, the most accurate way to approach the programme is to view the festival as a large network of stages and collectives rather than waiting for a traditional headline announcement.

Stages & performance areas

Seventeen individual stages: The official 2027 website confirms 17 carefully designed stages, each with its own musical identity and atmosphere. The programme covers hip-hop, techno, house, disco and live music, alongside indie, rock and punk.

Electronic stages: Electronic music remains one of the central components of Feel. Previous editions have included techno, house, trance, experimental electronic music, harder club sounds and disco-inspired programming.

Live music areas: The festival also includes live bands and performers, giving visitors an alternative to continuous DJ programming.

Beach and lake areas: The Bergheider See environment creates daytime spaces for swimming, relaxing and socializing before the nighttime programme becomes the main focus.

Baumschule: The Baumschule has historically hosted a mixture of music and wellness or participatory programming, including yoga and other daytime activities.

Cultural and workshop areas: Feel also creates spaces for discussions, talks, workshops, art installations and social programmes rather than limiting the site to music.

Because the stage layout changes between editions, the final 2027 site map should be used when planning routes between specific stages.

Stage-by-stage schedule

The official 2027 stage-by-stage schedule has not been released. This is consistent with Feel’s approach of keeping the complete lineup and timetable secret until the festival begins.

Historical timetables demonstrate how extensive the programme can be. Previous editions have operated many different areas simultaneously, with DJ sets, live performances and daytime workshops appearing alongside one another. The 2025 timetable, for example, included stages and areas such as Takraf, Strand, Hohe Düne, Kreuzberg, Lichterwalde, Reflektor, Zauberwald, Wagenburg, Späti36, Regionalexpress, Funkloch, Baumschule, Dampfer, Schwitzhain, Camp Carlowitz and other programme spaces.

The final 2027 timetable should therefore be treated as an essential festival document. Visitors will need it to coordinate artists, workshops, talks and other activities across the large site.

Set times

Exact 2027 set times are not available in advance because the full programme remains secret until the festival starts. The organizers have historically used detailed timetables to show DJ sets, live performances and the wider programme across different days and stages.

Historical schedules show programming continuing from daytime into the early morning, followed by an afterhour. This means the festival is structured around long periods of continuous activity rather than a short evening concert window.

Visitors should avoid planning their entire weekend around a small number of known names. A more suitable approach is to choose several preferred collectives or musical areas and leave time for unexpected performances, workshops and installations.

Ticket types

The 2027 ticket structure currently consists primarily of a standard festival ticket, with discounted group options available. The official information states that there is one main type of festival ticket whose price increases as the event approaches. Five-person and ten-person group tickets are also available at discounted rates. All standard tickets include tent camping on the festival grounds.

The 2027 final prices may change according to sales phase. For a previous-edition reference, the 2026 standard ticket was approximately $228 based on the published price of €195 and an indicative conversion of €1 = $1.17.

A previous 2026 five-person group ticket was approximately $1,024 total, equivalent to about $205 per person. The ten-person group offer was also discounted compared with the individual ticket. These figures are historical planning references and are not confirmed 2027 prices.

Visitors with a recognized severe disability can also access a reduced participation ticket. If the disability identification includes the relevant “B” designation, an accompanying person can receive free admission under the festival’s stated conditions.

VIP & premium options

Feel Festival does not currently publish a conventional VIP package with a separate premium viewing deck, VIP lounge or headline-stage hospitality area. Its ticket structure is centered on standard festival admission, group tickets, participation tickets and additional vehicle-related products.

The festival’s concept is deliberately integrated: camping, stages, workshops, art and other activities occupy the same broad environment. Visitors therefore do not need a traditional VIP upgrade to access the main festival world.

For 2027, any newly introduced premium products should be checked through the official ticket information before purchase.

Event rules

Minimum age: Feel Festival is strictly restricted to visitors aged 18 and over. The organizer states that there are no exceptions, including visitors accompanied by parents or another adult. An official identity document may be required at entry.

Glass: Glass containers are prohibited across the festival grounds. This rule is intended to reduce injury risks and waste in the sandy and wooded environment.

Fire and grilling: Open fires, sky lanterns and grilling are restricted because the festival is held near dry forest areas during summer. Visitors must follow current fire-safety instructions.

Sound systems: Personal sound systems are not permitted in the camping areas. The campsite is intended as a place to rest between performances, while the numerous stages provide music throughout the festival.

Dogs: Dogs are not permitted at the festival. The organizer specifically asks visitors to leave pets with friends or family.

Photography: Small personal cameras and phone cameras are allowed, while professional cameras with interchangeable lenses are prohibited. Filming is generally not permitted, and visitors should respect the privacy of others.

Waste: Visitors receive a waste deposit mechanism at entry and can recover the previous-edition $12-equivalent deposit through the recycling process by handing in an appropriately filled waste bag.

How to get there

The festival takes place at Bergheider Straße 4, 03238 Lichterfeld-Schacksdorf. The organizer recommends environmentally conscious travel options such as rail, bicycle, festival buses and car sharing.

From Berlin, the site is approximately 106 kilometres south. Dresden is approximately 60 kilometres away, Leipzig around 100 kilometres and Cottbus around 40 kilometres.

Visitors driving to the regular parking area should follow the recommended routes provided by the organizer rather than approaching directly along the L60 beside the lake. This is intended to reduce congestion around the festival entrance.

Visitors camping in vehicles use different approach routes from those parking outside the site. The festival provides separate directions for regular parking and camper access.

Public transport & parking

Train: The organizer recommends travelling by rail to Finsterwalde in Niederlausitz. From there, festival shuttle buses connect the station with the camping and festival grounds.

Shuttle bus: In 2026, the Finsterwalde shuttle operated on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. The previous fare was approximately $6 per journey after conversion from €5. Exact 2027 shuttle schedules and fares should be confirmed closer to the festival.

Bassliner: Feel has also worked with Bassliner to provide direct festival buses from cities including Berlin, Frankfurt, Munich and Cologne. This provides an alternative to driving and connects the festival with major German cities.

Parking: Visitors using a regular car park outside the festival need a separate parking ticket. The previous 2026 parking ticket was approximately $19 based on a published €16 price. Parking overnight is not permitted.

Camper access: Vehicles with sleeping facilities require a separate Camper Ticket. Previous 2026 information listed this at approximately $91 based on €78. The permitted vehicle length was up to 8 metres and the maximum permitted weight was 3.5 tonnes.

Accommodation areas

Festival camping: Standard tent camping is included with the main festival ticket. One of the distinctive features of Feel is that there is no strict conventional separation between a campground and the festival grounds. Visitors can generally camp in permitted areas while keeping access routes clear.

Silent camping: A Silent Camping area is available for visitors seeking a quieter place to sleep. The same area is also used for caravan camping.

Camper camping: Vans, motorhomes, caravans, campervans and suitable vehicles with sleeping facilities can use designated caravan areas with a Camper Ticket. The organizer states that these areas do not provide water or electricity connections.

Finsterwalde: Visitors who prefer hotels or guesthouses can consider accommodation in Finsterwalde and travel to the festival by shuttle.

Lichterfeld-Schacksdorf: Staying in or near the local area can reduce travel time, although availability is limited compared with larger nearby towns.

Food & drink

Feel Festival provides several food courts and drink outlets across the site. For the 2026 edition, the organizer stated that the food offering would be exclusively vegetarian or vegan at the festival’s food courts.

Visitors are also allowed to bring their own food and drinks, including meat, because the camping and festival areas share the same wider grounds. Glass containers remain prohibited.

The festival provides drinking-water stations throughout the grounds. Visitors should only use clearly designated drinking-water points for drinking water.

The site also includes a kiosk where visitors can purchase everyday essentials such as toiletries, sweets and other small items. Supermarkets are available in nearby Finsterwalde for larger shopping needs.

Feel uses cashless payment through an RFID chip integrated into the festival wristband. Visitors can add funds before or during the festival and request remaining credit back after the event.

Accessibility

Feel Festival provides some accessibility facilities but openly notes that the natural site is not fully barrier-free. The terrain includes sand, hills, woodland and uneven paths, which can make movement difficult for visitors with mobility limitations.

Wheelchair-accessible toilets are available on the festival grounds. Visitors with a recognized severe disability can also obtain a reduced participation ticket, and an accompanying person can receive free admission when the required “B” designation is present on the disability identification.

The organizer recommends contacting the festival in advance for specific accessibility questions. Because the terrain and site layout can change between editions, visitors should request the latest 2027 information before travelling.

The festival also maintains medical and awareness support on site. In previous editions, visitors could use the Safe Now app to request assistance from awareness, security, PsyCare or emergency medical personnel.

Best days to attend

Thursday: Thursday is useful for visitors who want to arrive early, establish their campsite and begin exploring the festival before the busiest period. Previous editions opened the main grounds Thursday afternoon and allowed visitors to settle into the camping environment before the main weekend programme developed.

Friday: Friday provides a full day of music, art and workshops and is suitable for visitors who want to explore several of the 17 stages. The multiple-stage concept means there is usually a choice between electronic, live and alternative programming.

Saturday: Saturday is the central full festival day for many visitors because the complete site is active across music, art, workshops and social areas. It is particularly suitable for visitors who want maximum time to explore different collectives and stages.

Sunday: Sunday provides another complete day while also allowing visitors to enjoy the final programme and prepare for departure. Previous editions continued beyond the core weekend with an afterhour, giving campers additional time before leaving the site.

For the broadest experience, a full festival ticket with camping is the most comprehensive way to experience the event because the programme changes throughout the four-day period.

Previous year’s highlights

The 2026 Feel Festival was built around the theme “Feel Unterwegs – Gemeinsam Grenzen überwinden,” with a focus on community, encounters, solidarity and different perspectives. The festival combined its music programme with sustainability, social themes, art and creative participation.

The 2026 programme included 17 stages, more than 40 collectives and over 400 acts, producing approximately 96 hours of festival programming. The participating collectives represented a broad range of electronic and subcultural music communities.

The wider programme included yoga in the Baumschule, karaoke, art and light installations, workshops, talks and discussions. F60 tours were also available through the festival’s cashless system, connecting the event with the industrial heritage of the surrounding Lusatian landscape.

Previous timetables show the depth of the programming. Alongside DJ sets and live performances, the festival has hosted yoga, workshops, poetry, film screenings, creative activities, discussions, awareness programming and other participatory formats.

The 2027 edition will continue this broad format while again keeping the complete artist programme secret until the festival begins.

Official tickets

The official Feel Festival website currently provides ticket information for the 2027 edition. The organizer states that the festival has one main ticket type whose price increases as the event approaches, together with discounted five-person and ten-person group tickets. Standard tickets include tent camping.

For planning purposes, the previous 2026 standard ticket was approximately $228. A previous five-person group ticket was approximately $1,024 total, or about $205 per person. These figures are previous-edition references rather than confirmed 2027 prices.

Additional products such as Camper Tickets and parking tickets are separate from standard festival admission. The previous Camper Ticket was approximately $91, while the regular parking ticket was approximately $19.

Tickets must be personalized after purchase. The organizer states that tickets can be transferred or repersonalized before the festival subject to a previous-edition processing charge of approximately $12. Tickets are not generally refundable, so visitors should review the current 2027 ticket conditions before purchasing.
