Kampnagel Hamburg

Hub for International Culture

"Kampnagel is where art defies boundaries – hosting bold performances, global stars, home to a vibrant summer festival, a hub of creativity and community."

Kampnagel is a cultural playground where boundaries are pushed, genres collide, and global ideas meet local creativity. As one of the world’s most innovative venues for avant-garde dance, theater, and performance, Kampnagel attracts international stars, local talents, and over 200,000 visitors each season. With six stages hosting everything from cutting-edge performances by groups like She She Pop, concerts by artists like Bonaparte, and readings with voices like Didier Eribon, Kampnagel is a magnet for anyone craving bold, inclusive, and thought-provoking art.

Feminism, technology and inclusivity are at the heart of Kampnagel’s programming. Whether it’s groundbreaking work by the National Ballet of Marseille, workshops on social justice, or vibrant parties where the dance floor becomes its own stage, every event here feels like a celebration of creativity and community.

And in summer, Kampnagel takes it even further. The International Summer Festival transforms the venue and select spots around Hamburg into a dynamic, open-air art extravaganza. For three weeks in August, the festival fills the city with performances, concerts, installations, and late-night parties under the stars. With its outdoor spaces alive with music, food, and conversation, it’s a cultural highlight that draws audiences from around the world.
