Music styles & Concerts

Hamburg is the place for live music

You can’t call it live music until the beat resonates throughout your body, until you feel the melodies in your soul and you lose yourself in the sound. Hamburg arguably offers the liveliest and most diverse live music scene in Northern Europe. It’s the proud home to every genre of music, with everything from classical concerts to electronic festivals, small gigs in intimate gatherings to the large hall in the Elbphilharmonie. At festivals in and around Hamburg and in the vibrant club scene around the Reeperbahn and Große Freiheit, visitors to our beloved city can hear first-hand that Hamburg’s heart is definitely alive and kicking!
