A city festival with a grown tradition
Since 2012, according to Duisburg Kontor, the city festival has become an integral part of the event landscape. It is precisely this mix of urban proximity, diverse programming, and an open community feeling that gives the event its character. The spacious Duisburg city center offers plenty of room for this and creates the casual open-air atmosphere that attracts visitors from the surrounding area.

Program, stages, and festival organization
The organizing community relies on four days of varied line-up on the Stadtwerke stage and the Mitsubishi-Brüggemann stage. The opening starts on Thursday at 12:00 PM, with the festivities continuing each day into the evening, on Thursday even until midnight. Among the program highlights are Queen Kings, KING/BON, Tribute to AC/DC, T.K.M. e.V., and Peter Bursch's All Star Band. This mix of live music, local performers, and entertainment showcases the festival organization in a way that remains close to the city and its audience.
