Hurricane Festival

Scheeßel is the place to party again: the Hurricane Festival offers some heavyweights from rock, hip-hop and pop. From Friday to Sunday, one of the biggest music festivals in Germany takes place on the Eichenring in Scheeßel. It is organized in June by FKP Scorpio Konzertproduktionen GmbH, MCT Agentur GmbH and KoKo Konstanz GmbH at the same time as its "sister festival" Southside.

The first festival was held in Scheeßel on September 8 and 9, 1973 under the title "Es rockt in der Heide". It was a festival with many well-known rock stars of the time (such as Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, Chicago, Manfred Mann's Earth Band, Lou Reed) and, thanks to the bands' enthusiasm, it went on until late into the night on Monday. It wasn't until 1997, under the direction of a new mayor, that the town's musical tradition was continued with the first Hurricane Festival.

You can arrive from Thursday afternoon. Due to its location, Hurricane attracts visitors from all over Germany as well as people from all over the world, especially from England, the Netherlands and the Nordic countries.
