Ring in the New Year Differently: Four Alternatives to Traditional New Year Parties
Four unique New Year's Eve (Silvester) alternatives in Hamburg are available for those seeking more than the usual David Guetta, Robin Schulz, and their contemporaries.
Intense Basslines: Roots Reggae, Dub, and Steppers
Hamburg's Kampnagel will serve up a bass-heavy, international experience on New Year's Eve. Hibration Soundsystem and Step-by-Step Soundsystem will set up on Kampnagel, with crews from both systems, as well as musicians from Poland and the UK, creating a vibrant atmosphere. The event will feature Roots Reggae, Dub, and Steppers music, with live singing, posing, and playing of brass instruments.

The Pudel in Rhythm
Hamburg's Golden Pudel Club remains true to its unconventional spirit. With the event name "Storno," it says farewell to the old year before it begins. As tradition dictates, the investment landscape is mocked through the "Elbtower" symbol. For those who prefer a rebellious New Year's Eve celebration without the fuss, but still want electronic music, the Golden Pudel Club and its neighbor, Locke, are excellent choices.
