The Highfield Festival 2020

For all fans: ark the date in the calendar! This year, the performance will be held on the 14-16th of August in the district of Leipzig.

The name of the festival comes from the previous location: Hohenfelden in Thuringia, where it took place from 1998 to 2009. Since 2010, after 12 successful years in Thuringia, the the event venue remains the Magdeborner peninsula on Störmthaler lake in the municipality Großpösna, only a few kilometers away from Leipzig and the A38 motorway.

Since the festival is not far from the beach, please do not forget your swimming trunks and bathing suits. There is also planned a lot: from a banana boat and tube riding to windsurfing, rowing and beach volleyball.

As the experiences of the past years have shown, approximately 35,000 fans are expected.
