Poetry Slam

Word art on Hamburg's stages.

Experience culture. Poetry Slam in Hamburg

Hamburg stands for art and culture through and through. And over the years, poetry slams have gained a firm place in Hamburg's cultural programme. Those who want to see young lyrical talents have the opportunity to do so in Hamburg almost every week. The young poet scene meets here regularly on stage to compete and inspire the audience. And with the "artistic duels", the city even has its own unofficial championship. Here, you'll find an overview of current events and the most frequent venues.

    5 Seconds Of Summer

    Erleben Sie 5 Seconds Of Summer 2026 live in der Barclays Arena. Sichern Sie sich Ihre Premium Tickets.

    Am 14. April 2026 spielen 5 Seconds of Summer live in der Barclays Arena Hamburg. Die Show ist Teil ihrer neuen Welttournee Everyone’s A Star!, benannt nach dem gleichnamigen Album, das am 14. November 2025 erscheint.

    Erstmals seit 2022 präsentiert die Band neue Songs auf großer Bühne – darunter die Singles „Telephone Busy“, „Boyband“ und „No.1 Obsession“.

    Das Album bringt elektronische und genreübergreifende Einflüsse in den typischen 5SOS-Sound. Inspiriert von Acts wie N.E.R.D., Gorillaz und The Prodigy verfolgt die Band damit einen konsequenten Richtungswechsel. Die Liveshow soll diese neue Ära auch visuell und energetisch spürbar machen.

    Das Set in Hamburg kombiniert neue Tracks mit bekannten Songs wie „Youngblood“, „She Looks So Perfect“ und „Teeth“.

    A Bach Odyssee

    Exploring space and time: The SPIIC+ Ensemble returns to the JazzHall after its brilliant performance at the International Bach Festival. Starting with the music of C.P.E. Bach, it continues its journey, seeking new ways to bring tradition, modernity, the present, and the avant-garde into a contemporary dialogue – rethinking composition, improvisation, and performance holistically.

    Featuring technological sound creations from the laboratories of the ligeti zentrum. SPIIC+ stands for Social Performance, Interdisciplinary Improvisation & Creativity – a project of the ligeti zentrum under Vlatko Kučan. The student ensemble has garnered international acclaim since 2018 and will perform at the ICMC in Hamburg in 2026, among other venues.
