10 years of BOATSTOCK
Open-air festival celebrates comeback in Mannheim-Neckarau
On Saturday, August 16, 2025 from 4 p.m., the meadow of the Neckarau Canoe Society (Mühlweg 11, 68199 Mannheim) will become a stage: the Boatstock Festival returns - open to the public, free & outdoors. After its premiere in 2015 and another edition in 2016, it was quiet for a long time. Now the organizers are not only celebrating the 10th anniversary, but also the comeback to the public.
Musically, there will be a colorful mix from indie to electro: Elaj from Heidelberg will bring German-language indie pop to the stage solo with guitar, followed by Juli Gilde with her band (indie pop from Mannheim) and Dewy Pines (alternative rock, also from Mannheim). Then it gets loud with the autotune-heavy rap boy band Lauch Creme Gruppe - and finally the DJs from Käfertal 65 will be spinning 90s remixes, electro and airhorns into the evening.
The festival is organized by the voluntary cultural association Kulturkram e.V. - by Marvin, Malte and Miguel, who all grew up in Mannheim-Neckarau. The aim: a beautiful, joint project for Neckarau that makes local subculture visible and celebrates the district.
For families, there will be face painting for children from 4-6 pm, for everyone else there will be cold drinks, tasty snacks and a place to get together until late into the night.
Free admission - everyone is welcome!
