The story

Fusion Festival in Laerz

Fusion Festival grew from a 1996 precursor event of around 800 attendees into a five-day festival now drawing roughly 70,000 people to the Muritz Airpark, a disused Third Reich-era military testing airfield near Larz. Organised by the non-profit Kulturkosmos Muritz since 1997, it deliberately refuses corporate sponsorship, VIP tickets and advance lineup announcements, functioning as what many attendees describe as a temporary parallel society.

The non-profit association Kulturkosmos Muritz first scouted a disused East German military airfield near Larz in 1995, drawn to the site's expansive runways, hangars and isolated location, and staged a precursor gathering in 1996 that drew around eight hundred participants before Fusion Festival proper began in 1997.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

A deliberate, sustained refusal of corporate sponsorship, VIP ticket tiers and advance lineup announcements is a distinctive operating model shared by very few festivals of comparable scale anywhere in Europe

02

The mystery stays covered

The festival's site, a former Third Reich-era military testing airfield later used by East German forces, gives its grounds a specific and unusual double wartime history repurposed entirely for cultural use

03

The city starts moving

Its self-description and reputation as a temporary parallel society, built on self-organisation rather than conventional festival management, reflects a documented philosophical stance distinct from a standard commercial music festival

Traditions & symbols

The language of the festival.

What moves first

Living ritual

The festival maintains a longstanding practice of not announcing its lineup in advance and does not accept corporate sponsorship or offer VIP ticket tiers
