Just two weeks ago, the Summerjam Festival at Fühlinger See in Cologne welcomed the biggest artists from the genres of Reggae, Dancehall, and Hip Hop. The festival’s absolute highlight, preceding the traditional closing fireworks, was the closing acts of Steel Pulse and Burna Boy. The 2024 festival was filled with special moments, notably when headliner Beenie Man couldn’t arrive on time due to a hurricane in the Caribbean. In a remarkable display of camaraderie, Cologne native Gentleman stepped in spontaneously. His Saturday performance on the Red Stage highlighted his deep connection with the “Summerjam Family.” Fans can look forward to Beenie Man’s performance in 2025, as he has already confirmed his attendance.
The festival’s popularity was evident when the discounted “Pre-Early Bird Tickets” sold out in less than 60 hours. Loyal Summerjam fans were thrilled with these discounted 3-day festival tickets. Starting today (July 24th), the “regular” Early Bird rate begins, with festival tickets (excluding camping) available exclusively in the ticket shop on summerjam.de for €145 (plus pre-sale fees). Due to the high demand for tickets without camping, the 2025 3-day festival ticket will not include camping for the first time. Separate camping tickets, valid only in conjunction with a 3-day festival ticket, will be available in the ticket shop starting this fall. Day tickets will go on sale at a later date.
The motto for the 2025 Summerjam Festival is “FULL OF ENERGY” for its 38th edition. The festival will continue its new framework program, which highlights the diversity of genres. New areas, presented by media partners 1LIVE, COSMO, and RIDDIM Magazine, were particularly well-received this year. These areas featured influences of Afrobeats alongside Reggae and Dancehall, reflecting the vibrant mix of genres and the unity among thousands of music lovers. The 2024 Official Aftermovie, showcases the theme “Lost in Good Vibes,” as seen above and on YouTube, and summerjam.de, inviting everyone to relive the magic and look forward to Summerjam 2025. Planning and preparations for the next edition are already underway, and we eagerly anticipate your announcements and preliminary coverage.
