20 years of Baltic Soul Weekender - a success story!
In 2007, the premiere of the Baltic Soul Weekender revolutionized the German festival landscape with a completely new concept: a festival on the Baltic Sea with fixed accommodation included in the ticket price. This had never been seen before in Germany: the best possible comfort, without any mud or mobile toilets.
An institution was born. The Baltic Soul Weekender quickly became a permanent fixture in the German festival summer. Year after year, international soul, funk and disco legends such as The Temptations, Sister Sledge, Sugarhill Gang, Joy Denalane, Aloe Blacc, STEREO MCs and Incognito conquer the hearts of 5,000 enthusiastic fans. Hand-picked international DJs turn the nights at Weissenhäuser Strand into day. A unique atmosphere of music, community and boundless passion for authentic soul culture is created here.
In 2026, the Baltic Soul Weekender celebrates its 20th anniversary!
Two decades full of unforgettable moments, legendary performances and a community that has long since become a family.
We look forward to seeing you!

Epic! Epic! Epic! Loved the entire night. The Djs were phenomenal. Mike Dunn and Gene Hunt are House Music personified. Tortured Soul's set list was great and its always good to incorporate LIVE music at a party.
I always find it amazing when you take a fantastic act who has quite simply been around the block a few times, earning their place in the hall of fame from doing what they’re best at, and putting them in front of a young adoring audience who have nothing but appreciation for the artist performing.
That is the situation with tonight’s performer, George McCrae, who has been showing off his soul and disco music for almost five decades now. This audience are so adoring of what he is about, enjoying every falsetto break that he does, every vocal ornamentation, not to mention the high notes! “Rock Your Baby” is the huge number one international hit that has the whole audience just on their feet wailing along with McCrae enjoying his soul and disco flavour. “I Get Lifted” makes such a positive atmosphere in this room this evening, complete with all the patrons dancing and smiling from ear to ear. There needs to be a disco revival sometime soon!
