Melt! Festival 2023

The Melt! Festival, surrounded by the calm waters of Lake Gremmin and the steely silence of the iron city, is filled with the musical noise of one of Germany's standout lineups. Camping is a must at this German festival, and the open-air museum of an abandoned coal factory marks this as a one-of-kind venue to visit. 

For 25 years, the hottest artists and bands in the world, and with them thousands of music enthusiasts, have come to a small town between Berlin and Leipzig. There, in the shadows of disused coal excavators, on the edge of a lake, and in the middle of forests, they celebrate the diversity of music and culture together for four days. Between quiet and loud, mainstream and subculture, zeitgeist and future, they dance together and escape everyday life.

Between beautiful beaches and massive iron giants, all of the lifestyle and fashion scene’s music connoisseurs and trendsetters gather, melting into a limitless creative flow thanks to an authentic affinity for underground music culture capturing the zeitgeist. At Melt, genre borders are broken down as well: vibes on all stages oscillate between hard techno sets, soulful sax samples, grungey guitar riffs, thumping 808s, and punchlines.
