Hanse Sail x Circus Fantasia

Together with PopKW and Artists MV, we’ll be bringing artists from Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and beyond to the stage over four days. On Thursday and Sunday, a rotating lineup of DJs will spin house music under the open sky; on Friday and Saturday, bands with a wide variety of sounds—ranging from indie pop, garage, and folk to jazz, punk, and electronic influences—will take the stage.

The program thrives on the diversity of the acts and the chance to discover new music in a relaxed atmosphere right on the water. Admission is free every day.

  Young, loud, and full of energy: RETURN brings powerful rock to the stage.
• 9:00–10:00 p.m.: Duxius (Live)
  A solo project by Polish artist Edyta Rogowska-Żak that blends languages, genres, and retro influences. Her debut album “Remanence” (November 2022) offers a dynamic mix of Polish, English, and German lyrics infused with lively retro vibes. As a visionary artist, Edyta strives to redefine the concept of “power” from a fresh, non-masculine perspective.
• 11:15 PM–12:00 AM: Gloor (Live)
  Urban jazz, trap, soulful house, and reggaeton are the genres that come to mind when describing the band’s music. One moment, the most delicate melodies emerge from graphite—the next, the mirror suddenly shatters from the sheer force of the vibrations! Vocals, drums, synthesizers, and samplers make up the soundscape of these newcomers from Berlin, Leipzig, and Greifswald!

Saturday | Aug. 8

• 2:00–4:00 p.m.: Flundermann (DJ)
• 4:00–5:00 p.m.: Noisy Glam (Live)
  NoisyGlam fuses the raw energy of rock with the pulsating beats of synth-pop. The duo breaks down genre boundaries and weaves an innovative soundscape from distinctive vocals and complex guitar melodies. Inspired by legends like Depeche Mode and Tears for Fears, the duo creates a timeless sound that bridges generations.
• 6:15–7:15 p.m.: Itchy Feet (Live)
  Itchy Feet’s songs have deeply breathed in both the dust of the road and the scent of forests and meadows. Sometimes dreamy, sometimes with a twinkle in their eye, they tell us stories of travel: of inner and outer journeys, insights gained along the way, and the feeling of never quite arriving. And when the spirit of adventure is awakened, when wanderlust sets in, when your feet can no longer stay still… that’s when Itchy Feet’s music has found its purpose.
• 8:15–9:15 p.m.: Luoar (Live)
  Luoar is a four-piece band from Rostock that plays raw and honest songs blending punk, garage, and folk. Their music explores themes like emotions, pain, and healing, with their energetic lyrics walking a fine line between fragility and anger.
• 10:15–11:15 p.m.: Kutterscholle mit Speckstippe (Live)
  In addition to sensitive interpretations of songs by greats like Rio Reiser, Bettina Wegner, Gundermann, Dota, Gerhard Schöne, and many others, the duo also has plenty of original material in their repertoire. An evening with Kutterscholle mit Speckstippe is an entertaining mix of lyrically sophisticated songs, danceable beats, and varied instrumentation.
