Maschsee Stage

6:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m.: NP Summer Festival

As you’d expect from a summer festival by the lake, there’s one thing above all else: plenty of entertainment and music! From live bands, up-and-coming artists, well-known performers, DJs, and dance acts. On July 30, NP host Josina Kelz will welcome the following artists, among others, to the stage:

  • ABES. The hip-hop artist from Wunstorf will perform alongside other local talents such as Pase and Mizzou.
  • DUEJA: In her mesmerizing dark pop, the Berlin-based artist combines sugar-sweet vocal melodies with atmospheric beats and brutally honest lyrics. Her second EP was released in March, and she’ll be taking the stage at Maschsee around 8 p.m.
  • Crystal Rock: His remix of “I’m Blue” is playing nonstop on the radio, and Crystal Rock’s version has now been streamed more than eight million times on Spotify. The Hannover-based DJ has racked up 100 million streams this year. He’ll be spinning starting at 9 p.m.
On Lake Maschsee

2:00 p.m./3:00 p.m./4:00 p.m.: Maschsee Pirates

Captain Zopf (Elisa Salamanca), along with ship’s boy Mathjes (Mathias Lück) and stowaway Clown Fidolo (Horst Schneider), is looking forward to new adventures and to coming up with all sorts of pirate shenanigans, solving the occasional oceanic mystery, and spinning all kinds of sailor’s tall tales. Together with the parrot Bounty, the Pirate Jennies, and helmsman Achim from Üstra, they set sail, sing offbeat pirate songs, and—with a little luck—even find the key to the treasure chest. Always along for the ride is a duffel bag full of music. A fantastic musical sea-themed play for children ages 4 to 10—and one that parents or grandparents accompanying them will also enjoy! Ticket price: Children and adults €7.50 plus advance booking fee. Tickets are available exclusively online. Any remaining tickets will be sold on the day of the event starting at 1:30 p.m. directly at the Stadion pier.
