Event Details
Welcome to Fusion Festival 2026
From 24 to 28 June 2026, a former military airfield near Neustrelitz turns once again into a temporary parallel society. Since its founding in 1997, the Fusion Festival has been one of Europe's most distinctive cultural festivals; on the sprawling grounds of Kulturkosmos Müritz, electronic music, theatre, art installations, film and performance come together for a crowd that deliberately avoids commercial sponsorship, often compared to the spirit of Burning Man.
Highlights
- Five days of music, art and performance on a former airfield
- Over 80 bands and acts plus hundreds of additional program points
- Twelve former, grass covered aircraft hangars forming a unique stage backdrop
- Extensive side program with theatre, cinema and workshops
- Camping directly on the festival grounds with no separation from the venue
- A deliberately non commercial, self organized festival atmosphere
Program
The lineup is traditionally released shortly before the festival; confirmed acts for 2026 include Sherelle, Lambrini Girls, Radio Slave, Der Dritte Raum and Ho99o9, alongside numerous newcomers spanning electro, techno, house, drum'n'bass and world music. Beyond the music, visitors can expect film screenings, theatre plays, performance art, installations and discussion panels across more than a dozen stages and the old hangars. The festival begins with arrivals on Wednesday afternoon and runs through Sunday, with programming continuing around the clock rather than at fixed daily hours.
Tickets
Tickets cost around 220 euros, including taxes and a ten euro waste deposit. Access works through a registration and lottery system: sign up for the ticket raffle usually opens in December of the previous year, with the actual purchase window following the draw in January. Tickets are personalized and only available to adult participants; day tickets exist only for the Sunday.
Visitor Tips
- Register early for the ticket lottery, as demand regularly exceeds the roughly 70,000 available spots.
- Travel by train to Neustrelitz and continue by shuttle or bike to the site; those driving should expect traffic around arrival and departure days.
- Bring your own tent and camping gear, since accommodation is directly on the festival grounds.
- Cash is rarely needed on site, as many stalls use the festival's own payment system.
- Pack warm clothing for the nights, since June weather in Mecklenburg Vorpommern can be changeable.
