SOUTHSIDEFESTIVAL
Hurricane Festival's southern German counterpart, on a former military airfield in Baden-Württemberg. Three days, around 60,000 festival-goers, and a lineup nearly identical to Hurricane's the same week — artists shuttle between the two ends of the country.
Southside Festival 2027
The Southside Festival festival.
In a nutshell.
The Southside Festival takes place every year on a former military airfield near Neuhausen ob Eck, in southern Baden-Württemberg. Created in 1999 as Hurricane Festival's southern German counterpart, it brings together around 60,000 people over three days, with a lineup nearly identical to its northern twin's the same week — artists alternate between the two sites, one day in the south, one day in the north. Together, Hurricane and Southside draw more than 130,000 festival-goers every year.
The lineup mixes rock, pop, indie, hip-hop and electronic across several open-air stages, with the same big international headliners as Hurricane — it's exactly this mirror effect that makes Southside distinctive: two separate festivals, one single tour for the artists. The crowd stays overwhelmingly German and Swiss, and for three days the site lives as a tent city set on a former military ground.
As at Hurricane, standard camping is included in the 3-day pass, with quieter or more comfortable options available. Proximity to Switzerland and Lake Constance gives Southside a slightly more international crowd than its northern twin. On the weather front, mid-June in southern Germany can be sunny or rainy — better to bring something warm just in case.

Profile of the festival.
Capacity, atmosphere, crowd, hours and on-site budget: the full profile of Southside Festival 2027 before you get your tickets.
Lineup
Identical to Hurricane's
Rock, pop, indie, hip-hop and electronic — the same lineup as the Hurricane Festival, give or take a few days and 650km.
The twin concept
One lineup, two festivals
The Hurricane Festival (Scheeßel, in the far north) takes place the same week with a nearly identical lineup. Artists alternate between the two sites.
The venue
A former military airfield
The Neuhausen ob Eck site, in southern Baden-Württemberg, was once a military base — now turned into a festival ground for three days a year.
Attendance
~60,000 festival-goers, 130,000 with Hurricane
Together, Southside and Hurricane draw more than 130,000 people every year from across Germany and neighbouring countries.
What to pack
Southern Germany: variable in June
Mid-June in Baden-Württemberg can be sunny or rainy. Boots, a fleece and something to cover the tent remain useful even in summer.
Budget
Pass from €199 (2026), camping included
Same price as Hurricane, its twin festival — standard camping is part of the pass.

Dates, hours, transport and lodging: what you need to know before you go.
Dates and schedule
Three days, Friday June 18 to Sunday June 20, 2027 — the same week as the Hurricane Festival. No 2027 lineup announced to date.

Payment

Access and transport
The site is on the former Neuhausen ob Eck airfield (Take-Off Gewerbepark), in southern Baden-Württemberg, near Lake Constance and the Swiss border. Mostly reached by car; organised shuttles from the nearest stations during the festival.
Accessibility
The site offers dedicated access for people with reduced mobility (nearby camping and parking). Advance registration with the organisers recommended.
TransportNeuhausen ob Eck is in southern Baden-Württemberg, near Lake Constance and the Swiss border — Stuttgart and Zurich are the two most realistic gateways.
- By plane
- Zurich (ZRH, Switzerland) or Stuttgart (STR) airports, both linked to Paris. Then car or shuttle to Neuhausen ob Eck.
- By train
- No station right on the site — regional links to the nearest stations (Tuttlingen, Singen) exist, with shuttles organised during the festival.
- By car
- Access by motorway to Neuhausen ob Eck (Take-Off Gewerbepark). Expect traffic jams on arrival and departure, as for any big camping festival.
- From Paris
- Flight to Zurich (about 1h20) then car, or direct by road (about 6h30 depending on traffic).
AccommodationStandard camping is included in the pass — the norm for nearly the whole crowd, as at Hurricane.
- Included camping
- Included in the 3-day pass, on the former airfield grounds. Shared sanitary facilities, as at most big German festivals.
- Indoors
- Few hotels right in Neuhausen ob Eck; the offering is mainly around Tuttlingen or Singen, to book long ahead during the festival.
- Gear
- A sturdy tent and something to cover up: southern Germany's weather in mid-June stays unpredictable, sunny one day, rainy the next.
DestinationNeuhausen ob Eck is a small rural village; the area's tourist appeal lies toward Lake Constance, under an hour away.
- Next door
- Lake Constance (Bodensee), shared between Germany, Switzerland and Austria, less than an hour by road — beaches, lakeside towns and Alpine views on a clear day.
- Cities
- Zurich (old town, lake) and Stuttgart (Mercedes-Benz and Porsche car museums) are both reachable in a little over an hour.
- Weather
- Mid-June in southern Baden-Württemberg: days around 20°C, changeable — sun and showers can follow each other in the same day.
