Hurricane and Southside Festival 2026: You can read all information about headliners, directions, camping tickets and the current weather warning here.
It’s that time again. On the third weekend in June, the German festival republic is divided into two camps: north or south. The Hurricane on Eichenring in Scheeßel, the Southside on the grounds of the Take-off GewerbePark in Neuhausen ob Eck.
The line-up
The headliners are identical at both locations: Florence + The Machine, Kraftklub and Twenty One Pilots are at the top of the billboard.
Behind them is a wide range: Yungblud, The Offspring, Papa Roach, Billy Talent, Halsey, Provinz, Roy Bianco & Die Abbrunzati Boys, Donots, Bosse, Sondaschule, A Day To Remember, Empire Of The Sun, Clueso, BHZ, Skindred, Pennywise, Grandson, The Beaches, Royel Otis, Drunken Masters and many more. A total of over 80 acts were recently confirmed for Hurricane alone.
The subtle difference lies in the details: the main acts are identical, only individual regional acts and the warm-up parties differ.
Warm-Up Hurricane (Thursday): Disarstar, July, Paula Carolina, men’s magazine, Hansegirl.
Warm-Up Southside (Thu.): Moop Mama, Majan, Mola, Hi! Spencer, Brass Palace.
Directions Hurricane
By car: The destination address is Eichenring, 27383 Scheeßel. From the north the route leads via the A1, from Bremerhaven via the A27 and on to the A1. Important: The organizer expressly recommends using the NUNAV app for navigation. It takes capacity and closures into account in order to get you to the celebration weekend as quickly and safely as possible.
Parking: A separate parking ticket is mandatory and costs 15 euros in advance and 20 euros on site. The parking spaces open on Thursday, June 18th from 7 a.m.
By train: The Metronome trains stop at Scheeßel station. From there it is around 1.5 kilometers or around 15 minutes on foot to the site; Shuttle buses also run. The perfect way for one last away beer.

Tips
Important in advance: Camping is not included in the festival pass. If you want to stay overnight, you need a camping ticket in addition to the festival ticket. Upgrades to quieter, cleaner areas and the trailer park cost extra. There are also particularly sustainable campsites, and groups can reserve their claim in advance so as not to camp separately. Also good to know: From this year onwards, a cashless payment system will be in effect at the stands at Hurricane for the first time.
Weather
The weather will be summery at both festivals – almost a little too summery: As temperatures rise, the German Weather Service warns of a low probability of strong thunderstorms in the north and northwest of Germany. There will be possible hail and heavy rain on Friday. However, the situation is still very uncertain and is by no means expected. The Hurricane Festival in the north is particularly affected by potential storms.
