As some of Germany’s biggest festivals, Southside and its sister festival Hurricane are due to take place 20th-23rd June this year. Attracting 60,000 visitors each year, Southside is the smaller of the two. The festival is held on a former airstrip in southern Germany (hence the name) and is playing host to some of the biggest international and German indie, alternative and electro acts. This year the lineup includes a festival exclusive from Ed Sheeran and the Avril Lavigne’s only shows in Germany this year. Friday headliners Bring me the Horizon are currently touring Australia and the US, the tours namesake album POST HUMAN: NeX GEn has been delayed with no current release date, but fingers crossed we’ll have some new releases by summer. German headliners include K.I.Z and Deichkind with the bill hosting festival regulars like Feine Sahne Fischfilet.
UK indie is represented by The Kooks, Bombay Bicycle Club and Editors, all of whom are currently on the road. Pop-punk from across the atlantic is brought to us by The Offspring, Sum 41 and Simple Plan. Other acts include The National, The Gaslight Anthem and The Hives.
Weekend tickets are still available for €299.99 (roughly £255) with day passes likely to be announced soon.
