Elbphilharmonie
Hope ’n’ Air
Die Hamburger Musikszene zu Gast auf dem Vorplatz der Elbphilharmonie
It’s been quiet for far too long but Hamburg’s music scene is now coming back to life – at the »Hope ’n’ Air« Festival on the Elbphilharmonie forecourt, as part of the Ministry of Culture and Media’s »Kultursommer«. With the Port of Hamburg as a stunning backdrop, bands from Hamburg and the surrounding area will be performing jazz, pop, indie and classical concerts on the open-air stage from 17 July to 15 August – all live and in person, of course! Beach chairs and loungers provide the perfect holiday atmosphere (and the necessary distancing). Sit back, relax and enjoy Hamburg’s mild summer evenings with top-quality music and a cold drink in your hand.
Important information for visitors
Tickets & Admittance
Choose from canopied beach chairs, deckchairs and seating areas for 2 people, or seating areas for 3 or 4 people. They all cost €5 per person. One group ticket is issued for each area reserved. We therefore ask you to enter the event area together. Your seats are reserved for you. Doors open around 60 minutes beforehand. Babies who have not had their first birthday can sit on a guardian’s lap and do not need a ticket of their own. Only the person named on the ticket and their group members (subject to the group ticket’s validity) can gain admission to the event, and that upon presentation of a photo ID at the entrance.

The seating areas offer a relaxed picnic ambience, but are not suitable for people with physical disabilities. In that case, please reserve a beach chair so that you can sit comfortably. Unfortunately, it is not possible to bring your own seats/chairs (camping chairs etc.).
