The story

Southside Festival in Neuhausen ob Eck

Southside Festival began in 1999 as the southern German twin of Hurricane, moving in 2000 to its permanent home at the Neuhausen ob Eck airfield near Lake Constance. It runs on the same three June days as Hurricane with a largely shared lineup, drawing around sixty thousand visitors to a flat, open airfield site in the Swabian Alb region.

Southside Festival launched in 1999 as the southern German counterpart to Hurricane, holding its first edition at a former military airfield in Neubiberg near Munich with about fifteen thousand visitors before relocating in 2000 to its current, permanent site at the Neuhausen ob Eck airfield near Lake Constance.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Running simultaneously with an almost identical lineup to Hurricane, hundreds of kilometres away in Lower Saxony, gives Southside a defining structural feature shared by very few festival pairs anywhere in Europe

02

The mystery stays covered

Its setting near Lake Constance and the Swabian Alb gives it a distinctly southern German, Alpine-foothills landscape context compared to its northern twin's North Sea plain setting

03

The city starts moving

Growth from fifteen thousand attendees at its 1999 founding in Neubiberg to around sixty thousand at its current Neuhausen ob Eck site marks a well-documented expansion since the relocation
