Heroes Festival

Hanover Exhibition Centre

The Heroes Festival brings German rap right to your doorstep. The scene comes to the fans at various festival locations across Germany - and will be back in Hanover from 29 - 30 August 2025.

One thing is particularly important: the balancing act between the past, the future and the here and now. Newcomers and all-stars find their place at Heroes just as much as the hottest acts of the moment. The line-up fuses new trends and legends with the current zeitgeist. Heroes thus becomes a meeting place where fresh youngsters and undisputed rap kings rub shoulders.

Since 2017, Heroes has been setting new standards in terms of understanding the scene - and not just for festivals. The stars of tomorrow celebrate their first appearance on the stages. Trends are set here. Heroes is not only shaped by the scene, Heroes shapes the scene. It offers a home for the country's biggest youth culture, an exciting introduction for newcomers and a huge stage for our heroes.
