Melt Festival 2016
Melt Festival 2016 is one of the most distinctive rock and pop festivals in Europe. Its reliably huge lineup is known for producing one or two surprises, with the likes of Kylie Minogue and Sven Väth lining up alongside each other at 2015's edition.
The Gremminer Lake is dissected by the Ferropolis peninsula, setting the spectacular machinery of the old mine against a stunning natural landscape and lending a whole heap of individuality to the festival.
Melt Festival 2016 is famous for its all night music, with festivities running until around 7am each morning.
Meanwhile, the Sleepless Floor stays open from the minute the festival site opens until the very end.
A flickering sea of lights, pulsating beats and beaming faces as far as the eye can see – the City of Iron awakes again. Three days of pure musical euphoria lie ahead of us in July. Hot newcomers and international heroes grace the stages below the breathtaking coal mining diggers of days gone by, hosting debaucherous gigs and parties breaking the boundaries between quiet and loud, electro, hip hop and indie, mainstream and subculture.
Melt! started out as a small stronghold for rave lovers and techno enthusiasts at the quaint Bernsteinsee Velten in 1997, relocating to Lärz Airport in 1998 until it turned Ferropolis into a shining beacon of light in 2000 and became a major force on the international festival circuit.
While headliners like Disclosure, Deichkind, Tame Impala, Two Door Cinema Club, Boys Noize (live) and many others rock the Melt! Stage, this year’s edition of the festival has many more things up its sleeve. True to the motto ‘more variety, more freedom, more water, more chilling’, the 2016 Melt! Festival will be a larger, even more motley adventure playground than ever before – with everything a festival-goer could possibly want.
Check out the new Block Party for food, arts, culture (and of course music) of various genres, or the Forest for an open-air restaurant, cinema and hammocks, a place to come down and relax. Right next to it is Gremmin Beach – formerly Melt! Selektor – with Solomun, DJ Koze and Black Coffee, et al. Swimming and skinny dipping are strongly encouraged here – the beautiful sunsets and sunrises practically demand it.
Overall the grounds offer many more places to relax and get away this year, with more points of access to Lake Gremmin than in the past; for the first time, you and your crew have access to many areas once reserved for festival production staff.
Location-
Ferropolis
06773 Gräfenhainichen
Germany
The iconic home of Melt! is a recovered opencast coal mine in the east of Germany, between Leipzig and Berlin. The site's towering cranes and iron machinery give Ferropolis its name, as well as furnishing the festival with a memorable backdrop.
