Helene Beach Open Air 2027 – Music Festival Germany

What to expect in 2027

Helene Beach Open Air 2027 will take place from 15 to 17 July 2027 at the Helenesee near Frankfurt (Oder), Brandenburg. The festival combines electronic music with a summer camping experience beside the lake, bringing together more than 60 international, national and regional acts across four stages. The official festival describes the event as an electronic open-air covering different styles, from driving techno beats and house sounds to melodic electronic music.

The festival is built around the idea of a three-day electronic music getaway rather than a conventional city concert. Visitors can camp near the festival grounds, spend time in chill-out areas, enjoy food and drinks, and move between four indoor and outdoor performance areas. The combination of music, forest surroundings, camping and the Helenesee setting gives the event a distinctly outdoor character.

For 2027, the organizer has already confirmed that the festival will feature more than 60 acts. The four-stage concept is based around Strandterrasse, Theatergarten, Botanica and Backyard. The detailed artist programme will be announced later, so previous artists should be treated only as examples of the festival’s musical direction rather than confirmed 2027 performers.

Camping is an important part of the Helene Beach experience. Visitors can arrive with tents and spend the festival weekend at the campsite, making it possible to remain close to the stages rather than travelling back and forth to a hotel every night. The festival also offers a range of additional experiences around the music, including chill-out spaces, food, drinks and entertainment.

Event dates

Helene Beach Open Air 2027 will take place from Thursday, 15 July, through Saturday, 17 July 2027. The official festival website currently promotes the event as a three-day open-air festival with more than 60 acts.

The campsite is designed to extend the festival experience beyond the main performances. Previous editions allowed weekend campers to remain on the site after the main programme, with camping access extending into Sunday. Exact 2027 camping departure times should be checked when the final visitor information is published.

The previous operating format gives an indication of how the festival weekend develops. The open-air programme has historically extended well into the night, while the campsite provides a continuous social environment for visitors between performances.

Venue & festival site

Venue: Freizeit und Campingpark Helenesee

Address: Am Helenesee 2, 15236 Frankfurt (Oder), Brandenburg, Germany

Helene Beach takes place at Helenesee, a recreational lake near Frankfurt (Oder) in eastern Brandenburg. The official address for navigation is Am Helenesee 2, 15236 Frankfurt (Oder).

The festival site combines lakeside and wooded surroundings with dedicated festival infrastructure. The four stages are distributed across different parts of the site, creating several distinct atmospheres rather than placing all performances in one large area.

The 2027 festival site will include the four principal performance areas:

• Strandterrasse
• Theatergarten
• Botanica
• Backyard

The festival also provides camping, food and drink areas, chill-out spaces and additional entertainment. The exact 2027 site map and placement of individual facilities will be published closer to the event.

One important point for 2027 visitors is that the main Helenesee beach has been subject to restrictions. The organizer’s current information states that the beach remains closed for swimming under the relevant public order, with Katjasee identified as the alternative bathing location.

Full lineup

The complete Helene Beach Open Air 2027 lineup has not yet been announced. The official lineup page currently states that the 2027 lineup will follow, while the main festival website confirms that more than 60 international, national and regional acts are planned.

The festival’s previous programmes show the broad electronic direction expected in 2027. The 2026 lineup included artists such as Dr. Motte, Thomas Schumacher, Mark Reeve, Patrick Scuro, Kaacee Komacasper, Mandy van Dorten, Michael Klotz, Kopf & Hörer, Tiefundton, Taktstörer, René Oldenburg, Blondee, Fabitekk, Ony and Kan&Dinsky.

The 2025 edition also featured Lexy & K-Paul, AKA AKA, Martin Books, TiefundTon, Raket One feat. Actek, Kopf & Hörer, Fabitekk, Eycer, Gloria Game Boyz, Mandy van Dorten and Phiesie & Abzocka.

These artists are not confirmed for 2027. They are included only as previous-edition references to show the range of electronic music represented at Helene Beach.

Headliners & featured artists

Helene Beach has not yet announced its 2027 headliners. The final headline programme will be confirmed when the festival releases its 2027 lineup.

Previous editions have brought established electronic artists together with regional DJs and emerging performers. In 2026, Dr. Motte, Thomas Schumacher and Mark Reeve were among the prominent names associated with the festival programme, while the wider lineup included more than 50 electronic acts.

Dr. Motte is particularly associated with Berlin’s techno history and was one of the featured names at the 2026 edition. Thomas Schumacher has also been a significant figure within German electronic music, while Mark Reeve represents the techno side of the festival’s programming.

For 2027, visitors should wait for the official artist announcement before planning their schedule around specific headliners.

Stages & performance areas

Strandterrasse: Strandterrasse provides the festival’s lakeside-oriented electronic atmosphere. Its position within the Helenesee setting makes it one of the distinctive areas for visitors who want music combined with the outdoor surroundings.

Theatergarten: Theatergarten provides a contrasting setting within the festival grounds. The wooded environment gives this stage a more intimate atmosphere while continuing the festival’s electronic music programme.

Botanica: Botanica is one of the four established Helene Beach stages and contributes another sound and visual environment to the festival. Previous festival descriptions have associated the site with electronic, techno and melodic sounds.

Backyard: Backyard offers another dedicated area for electronic music, allowing visitors to move away from the larger stage environments and find different DJs and styles.

The four-stage format means visitors can create their own programme rather than following one central timetable. The stages also make it possible to switch between different electronic styles during the same evening.

Stage-by-stage schedule

The detailed 2027 stage-by-stage timetable has not yet been published. The official website confirms the four-stage structure but currently lists the 2027 lineup as forthcoming.

Once the timetable is released, visitors will be able to determine which artists perform at Strandterrasse, Theatergarten, Botanica and Backyard and plan their movements around the site.

The festival’s previous schedules demonstrate the importance of checking the official timetable rather than assuming that major artists will perform on the same stage or at the same time as in earlier years. Helene Beach uses multiple stages simultaneously, allowing different sounds to run throughout the festival.

A useful approach is to select several priority artists each day, then leave enough flexibility to discover smaller regional and national acts. Because the festival continues late into the night, visitors can also move between stages after the main evening performances.

Set times

The official 2027 set times have not yet been announced. Individual performance times are normally communicated through the festival’s timetable closer to the event.

Previous Helene Beach operating schedules have extended deep into the night. The official FAQ for the current festival format lists the open-air area as operating into the early morning, with Thursday and Friday running until approximately 06:30 and Saturday continuing until approximately 08:30. These hours are useful as an indication of the festival’s late-night format, but visitors should use the final 2027 timetable for exact performance times.

Because four stages operate simultaneously, visitors should allow time to move between performance areas. The best schedules are often built around a few essential performances while leaving room for unexpected discoveries.

Ticket types

The 2027 ticket prices have not yet been published. The official ticket page currently promotes Helene Beach tickets and the festival website directs visitors toward the 2027 event information.

The previous editions provide a useful price reference. For 2026, the official ticket page advertised an Early Bird ticket at €39, including camping, the Thursday Ankerparty and parking. Using an approximate conversion of €1 = $1.17, that previous-edition price was approximately $46.

The 2025 edition also offered different ticket formats. A weekend ticket without camping was approximately $29, while an all-in party ticket including camping was approximately $34. Day tickets for Friday or Saturday were approximately $23 each, and a Thursday-Friday-Saturday combination ticket was approximately $29. These are previous-edition reference prices and are not confirmed 2027 rates.

The festival has historically included camping with selected weekend ticket options, making it particularly suitable for visitors planning to stay at Helenesee throughout the weekend.

VIP & premium options

Helene Beach’s published ticket information has historically focused more strongly on standard festival and camping admission than on large-scale VIP packages.

No confirmed 2027 VIP package has been announced at the time of writing. Visitors should check the official ticket release for any premium access, upgraded accommodation or additional services introduced for the 2027 edition.

The festival experience itself is built around the campsite and four-stage programme. Visitors who want a more comfortable weekend can choose accommodation outside the camping area, while those who want the full festival atmosphere can stay on site.

If premium products are introduced for 2027, the organizer is expected to publish their benefits and conditions together with the official ticket information.

Event rules

Age restrictions: Visitors under 16 are not permitted to enter the open-air event. Visitors under 18 may attend until midnight; after midnight, they must remain on the site with an adult who has been formally assigned responsibility for them and who can provide identification.

Identification: Underage visitors and their responsible accompanying adults must be able to provide valid identification and the required documentation.

Swimming: Swimming in Helenesee is currently prohibited. The organizer directs visitors who want to swim toward nearby Katjasee instead.

Environment: The festival is located in a landscape protection area. Visitors are required to use designated toilets, keep the grounds clean and avoid activities that could damage the natural environment. Climbing trees is prohibited.

Sound systems: Personal battery-powered music devices are permitted within reasonable limits, but generators are not allowed on the camping areas. Excessively loud personal systems can be confiscated or result in removal from the campsite.

Cashless payments: Purchases of food, drinks and other goods on the camping and festival grounds are cashless. Festival wristbands use an RFID system that can be topped up at designated points.

How to get there

The official festival address is Am Helenesee 2, 15236 Frankfurt (Oder), Germany. Visitors driving from Berlin should use the Frankfurt (Oder) Mitte motorway exit and then follow the festival signs toward Helenesee.

The site is located near Frankfurt (Oder), making the festival accessible from eastern Brandenburg and the Berlin region.

For drivers, the organizer recommends following the official road signs rather than relying exclusively on navigation software. This is especially useful during festival arrival periods when temporary traffic arrangements may be introduced.

Visitors without cars can use the railway and then connect with the Helene shuttle service. The official travel information states that the railway station is around 2 kilometres from the main entrance.

Public transport & parking

Train: The official travel information identifies the RB36 connection operated by Niederbarnimer Eisenbahn as a way of reaching the Helene area from the Berlin region. From the railway station, the festival entrance is approximately 2 kilometres away.

Helene Shuttle: A shuttle can connect the railway station with the festival entrance. The organizer provides a contact number for the shuttle service when it is not waiting at the station.

Car: Drivers should approach from the Frankfurt (Oder) Mitte motorway exit and follow the festival signage. Parking areas are provided close to the event site.

Parking: Previous festival information lists parking as a separate charge for some ticket types, while full-weekend tickets including camping have included parking in certain editions. The 2027 parking policy should be checked when tickets are released.

Ride sharing: The organizer has also promoted Ride2Rave as a way for visitors to share journeys, divide fuel costs and reduce the number of cars arriving at the festival.

Accommodation areas

Festival camping: Camping is the main accommodation option directly connected with Helene Beach. Previous weekend tickets have included camping or offered camping as part of selected ticket packages.

Tent camping: Visitors can bring their own tents and establish a temporary campsite in the designated camping area. The camping experience is an important part of the festival atmosphere.

Motorhome and camper accommodation: Previous ticket formats have included camping or motorhome access, making the event suitable for visitors arriving with larger camping vehicles. Exact 2027 vehicle rules should be checked with the official ticket information.

Frankfurt (Oder): Visitors who prefer conventional accommodation can stay in Frankfurt (Oder) and travel to Helenesee for the festival. This can be useful for visitors who prefer a private room, hotel facilities or a quieter sleeping environment.

Because the festival programme continues late into the night, staying close to the site is particularly convenient.

Food & drink

Helene Beach provides food and drink facilities across the festival and camping environment. Visitors can purchase meals, snacks, beverages and other essentials without needing to leave the site.

The cashless payment system is used for food, drinks and other purchases on the camping and festival grounds. Visitors load credit onto their RFID festival wristband at designated top-up points or through the associated cashless system.

The campsite also provides facilities intended for a multi-day festival stay. Visitors should bring appropriate camping supplies and plan for warm summer weather, especially because much of the event takes place outdoors.

The festival’s cashless system also means visitors should check their wristband balance during the weekend. The organizer provides information about checking balances and recovering remaining credit after the event.

Accessibility

Helene Beach provides accessibility facilities for visitors with disabilities. The official FAQ states that an accessible toilet is available near the minimarket, with the key obtainable from reception against a small deposit.

Accompanying persons for disabled visitors can receive free access according to the festival’s stated policy. Visitors should bring the appropriate documentation and contact the organizer in advance if they require assistance beyond the standard facilities.

Visitors who need essential medication are permitted to bring necessary medicines and associated medical equipment when required for their health. The organizer recommends carrying supporting medical documentation where appropriate, especially if medication may be questioned during security checks.

Because Helenesee is an outdoor festival environment with grass, forest areas and multiple stages, visitors with mobility requirements should check the latest site information before travelling.

Best days to attend

Thursday arrival: Although the main 2027 dates are 15 to 17 July, arriving on the first day of the festival period allows visitors to settle into the campsite and experience the opening atmosphere. Previous editions have included an Ankerparty as part of advance ticket packages.

Friday: Friday provides a full festival day with multiple stages operating across the site. Visitors interested in experiencing the electronic programme across several sound environments can use Friday to explore the four-stage layout.

Saturday: Saturday is the main full festival day and provides another opportunity to see the broadest selection of artists across the four stages. Visitors who want the complete electronic music weekend will generally benefit from remaining on site through Saturday night.

For the fullest experience, a weekend ticket with camping allows visitors to enjoy the festival atmosphere rather than limiting the trip to a single performance day.

Previous year’s highlights

The 2026 edition continued Helene Beach’s four-stage electronic format with more than 50 acts. The official festival describes the four stages as Strandterrasse, Theatergarten, Botanica and Backyard, with music ranging from techno and house to more melodic electronic sounds.

The 2026 lineup included Dr. Motte, Thomas Schumacher, Mark Reeve, Patrick Scuro, Kaacee Komacasper, Tiefundton, Mandy van Dorten, Kopf & Hörer, René Oldenburg, Michael Wolfgang, Blondee, Fabitekk and many other electronic artists.

The 2025 edition featured more than 50 national and regional acts across four stages, with Lexy & K-Paul, AKA AKA, Martin Books, TiefundTon, Raket One feat. Actek, Kopf & Hörer, Eycer, Gloria Game Boyz and Mandy van Dorten among the featured names.

The festival’s previous editions also demonstrate its emphasis on camping. Visitors can combine electronic music with a multi-day outdoor stay, while the lake and surrounding landscape provide a setting different from an urban club festival.

For 2027, the organizer has expanded the announced artist target to more than 60 international, national and regional acts, suggesting another broad programme across the four-stage format.

Official tickets

Official Helene Beach 2027 ticket prices have not yet been announced. The festival website currently promotes the 2027 edition and provides access to its ticket information, while the lineup page states that the 2027 lineup will follow.

Previous ticket prices can be used as a planning reference. The official 2026 Early Bird ticket was listed at €39, equivalent to approximately $46 using an indicative €1 = $1.17 conversion. It included camping, the Thursday Ankerparty and parking.

For comparison, 2025 tickets included a weekend ticket without camping at approximately $29, an all-in party ticket with camping at approximately $34, and individual Friday or Saturday day tickets at approximately $23. These previous-edition figures are not confirmed prices for 2027.

Visitors should use the official Helene Beach ticket system for the 2027 release rather than relying on third-party listings. The official festival website should also be checked for the final camping, parking, arrival and cashless-payment conditions.
