Avantgarde Schiphorst e.V.

Avantgarde-Festival is a community-focused festival built around shared experiences, participation and a welcoming atmosphere. Organised by a volunteer core team, it brings people together for three days of live artistic programming, food and social connection. The festival prioritises fair artist fees and covers performers’ travel, meals and technical needs, while also investing in its wider team and event infrastructure. It does not consider commercial sponsorship a fit for its values, but welcomes smaller partners and supporters.

The next edition is planned for 18–20 June 2027, with ticket sales helping make the event possible. Early Bird three-day tickets include food and may include access to the outdoor swimming pool, depending on the pool’s seasonal opening. Early Bird prices follow a solidarity model: €100, €125 or €150, according to each attendee’s means. Subject to a successful Early Bird campaign, regular three-day tickets will be available at the same solidarity prices, with food offered as a €45 add-on. The festival is committed to keeping its scale mindful of its limited space and resources.
