Maschsee Festival: Schedule for August 4

What's going on today?

Food Mile MSF 2025

Program & Dining on the North Shore

Maschsee Stage

9:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m.: HAZ presents Kasimir Effekt

Starting from the vacuum of silence, the band creates a microcosm of fluctuating beats, techno-inspired improvisations, and electrifying sound miniatures. In their live concerts, the three musicians—on double bass, drums, and Fender Rhodes—deliver handcrafted analog sounds with an undeniably danceable vibe. Attention, elementary particles: Reduction = Reaction. Welcome to the Kasimir Effect.

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.
