55th moers festival 2026

moers festival is moving back into the heart of Moers in 2026: The large open-air stage will be set up right on Kastellplatz, surrounded by the festival village and the familiar venues you already know—churches, the castle, the park, Peschkenhaus, and the district office.

Between the main programme blocks on the large open-air stage, concerts of very different genres will take place simultaneously in the nearby (and easily walkable) venues—indoors, except for the castle courtyard. There will also be concert excursions to Bollwerk, the skate park, or Die Röhre. More information about the new venue(opens in a new tab). 5 days of jazz!

To celebrate the 55th festival anniversary, we’re adding an extra day: next year we’ll be starting as early as Thursday, 21 May 2026, with a special concert and many more acts! (All Early-Bird tickets purchased remain valid and can also be used on the additional festival day. No new ticket is required.)

Camping & tents: For early-bird tickets and quiet heroes, camping is included. All other ticket holders (Pay What You Can) need a separate campsite ticket (€30), which is only available in combination with a festival ticket. Camper vans and motorhomes can park at various locations—for example, at the parking lot on Krefelder Str., as well as at other city parking spaces. The campsite is located in the leisure park on the Balloon Meadow and can only be accessed with a camping ticket.

Children and young people up to 16 years old enter for free (only when accompanied by a paying adult). People with severe disabilities who require a companion (as indicated in the disability ID) will receive a free ticket for their companion.
