Visitors not only enjoy the diverse and eclectic musical line-up, but also the setting of The Reeperbahn. Once commonly known as the 'Wicked Mile', it is now a world famous entertainment boulevard, lined with music clubs, cafés and restaurants, this year the capacity has been increased to 20,000.

Reeperbahn Festival offers both an international showcase platform for emerging bands to play to influential music industry professionals and fans alike, and also an important meeting ground for the creative industries at large, in the form of seminars and workshops, addressing key factors currently affecting their industries. This 'industry' side of the festival is known as 'Reeperbahn Campus'.

2010 is the fifty year anniversary of The Beatles arriving and spending two years in and around the Reeperbahn. Hamburg has a Beatles celebration that will tie in with the festival soon.

Date: Thursday 23rd - Saturday 25th September, 2010.
