Stephanie C.

The 2025 festival season promises unforgettable experiences for all music lovers who want to combine their passion for live music with proximity to water. There are numerous festivals in Germany and Europe that take place right by the sea or on idyllic lakes, offering the perfect combination of summer feeling and musical variety.

One of the highlights is the "Tag am Meer Festival", which takes place from 18 to 19 July 2025 on the beach at Prora on the island of Rügen. This festival is known for its relaxed atmosphere, electronic sounds and the unrivalled backdrop of the Baltic Sea coast. Visitors can dance barefoot in the sand and unwind.

Another must for electro fans is the "Sea You Festival", which will be held from 18 to 20 July 2025 at Lake Tunis near Freiburg. The so-called "Beach Republic" not only offers hip DJs and electronic beats, but also swimming opportunities right by the lake. The festival is known for its exuberant atmosphere and the perfect symbiosis of music and nature.

Rock fans get their money’s worth at the "Lieder am See" festival on the Großer Brombachsee. Although the exact date in July 2025 has yet to be finalised, it is certain that visitors will once again be able to enjoy a concentrated load of classic rock right on the beach. The open-air event attracts visitors with a unique backdrop and a line-up that will delight fans of traditional rock music.

The "Sea Star Festival" attracts international visitors to Umag in Croatia from 23 to 24 May 2025. The Stella Maris Resort offers the perfect stage for a varied programme ranging from rock to pop and electronic sounds. The fantastic location on the Adriatic coast makes the festival an unforgettable experience.

Across the Atlantic, the "Sea.Hear.Now Festival" will take place from 13 to 14 September 2025 in Asbury Park, New Jersey, USA. With over 25 bands on three stages, the festival offers music right on the water and an impressive backdrop on the Asbury Park waterfront.

Whether electronic beats by the lake, rock music by the sea or a colourful mix on the coast - the 2025 festival season offers a variety of opportunities to experience music in the open air while enjoying the proximity to the water. Plan your tickets in good time and experience unforgettable festival moments by the sea!
