Überseefestival 2026

Every summer, the best live music from Bremen awaits you at the Überseefestival at the old customs office.

What began as a summer festival for Bremen’s music scene has established itself as a staple of the city’s open-air events. In 2026, for the 16th time, various bands will showcase the best of Bremen and the surrounding area on three open-air stages and in the Zollkantine. Many of the bands don’t have far to go to get to the stage—they simply carry their instruments out the door of their rehearsal space in the Alte Zollamt. The focus has always been on regional music, and since 2017, the lineup has been 100% Bremen-based. The organizers also rely on regional partners for the food and beverage offerings.
