The 'Queer Music Festival' explicitly shines the spotlight on queer music and artists who identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender or non-binary. Under the motto "Identity is reality!", the 4-day program ranges from concerts and club nights, dance classes and films to readings, artist talks and DJ workshops. The focus is always on celebrating and empowering queer identities, queer bodies and, above all, queer music.
The festival aims to offer musicians from the LGBTQ*+ community a platform and create a safe space in which they can raise their voices to share their artistic vision with like-minded people and allies. It's about speaking up together - at a time when silence is becoming increasingly dangerous. It's about visibility - at a time when queer people increasingly have to fear for their safety in public spaces.
