The story

USINA Festival in Dudelange/Neischmelz

USINA Festival is a multi-venue collaborative festival held at the NeiSchmelz industrial heritage site in Dudelange, first staged in 2022 alongside the Esch2022 European Capital of Culture year. The festival spreads across venues including A-Stage, Casa Communa, VEWA, Kantina and CNA-Pomhouse, combining music, interactive workshops and artistic showcases. Its debut edition drew more than 10,000 visitors, and later editions, including USINA25, have continued the two-day May format.

Dudelange built its early identity on steel, and the NeiSchmelz site, a former industrial complex in the town, still carries that heritage in its structures.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

USINA Festival's character comes directly from its setting: the NeiSchmelz site is a former industrial complex in Dudelange, and the festival repurposes its distinct venues, A-Stage, Casa Communa, VEWA, Kantina and CNA-Pomhouse, rather than building temporary structures from scratch

02

The mystery stays covered

This multi-venue layout lets the festival run music, workshops and artistic showcases simultaneously across spaces with their own industrial character, giving attendees a genuinely varied experience as they move between venues

03

The city starts moving

Launching in 2022 alongside the Esch2022 European Capital of Culture designation gave the festival an unusually strong debut, drawing more than 10,000 visitors in its first year

04

The water draws everyone in

Continuing in subsequent years, including USINA25, has shown the format has staying power beyond its launch year
