Chimaera Festival 2026

Fri 14.08.2026 12:00

Glad you found your way here. With that, you’ve already completed the hardest part. Now it’s time to arrive, drift away, and dive in. Sounds good? Feels right? Then stay.

Chimaera is entering its fourth edition. A volunteer-run, non-commercial festival — by ravers, for ravers. Rooted in subculture, built for the subculture. No sponsors, no glossy facade, no attitude — just genuine passion, collective energy, and a space that belongs to all of us.

Between forest and water, at Klingemühle just outside Berlin, a world of its own emerges for a few days: carefully curated electronic music, live acts, bands, workshops, sauna, art, and FUNFUNFUN across five floors. High-quality sound and thoughtful lighting concepts meet solid infrastructure — a holiday for everyone without losing its intimate vibe.

Never been before? Maybe it’s time.

Been there already? Then you know what to do.

We can’t wait to have you with us.

// The Chimaera Festival 2026 is supported by Initiative Musik and the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media.
