Friday to Sunday, 2027. Three days and nights.

The lake

A forest in the south of Brandenburg, reeds at the water, ground that was mined for coal and is slowly growing back. Many lakes in the Lausitz were open pits a generation ago. Standing at the reeds, you see what the region is turning into.

The walk in

Bags, friends, the first pines. The camp is a few minutes further on foot, and on Friday afternoon the paths fill up slowly.

Why Lusatia, why here

Why this festival

Lusatia is an international festival of electronic music, art and workshops on former mining land in Lower Lusatia, on the grounds of Wilde Möhre near Drebkau. The Lausitz is part of the program: for three days, people, crafts, sound, food and stories of the region come onto the grounds. Around the floors stands a forest on ground that was dug up for coal and is slowly growing back.

What the Lausitz brings onto the grounds

People from the region lead workshops on the grounds. Craft and material come from the landscape the mines left behind, the kitchens cook what the Lausitz eats, and in the afternoons there is time to talk about a region that is rebuilding itself. Everything happens on the grounds. The concrete formats follow with the program.

Music that starts here

Electronic music runs in five habitats, with artists from the region and from across Europe, from the first hour of the afternoon until the birds. Names come in waves, newsletter first.

Why the Lausitz

Open pits, lakes where the mines were, villages that stayed, and a festival ground that has been growing back for years. What happened here you can see under your feet. We talk about it, and we dance on it.

Beneath the pines

Beneath the pines, water moves through old mining ground. What was taken is slowly given back: reeds, roots, minerals, memory.
The Myth of Lusatia, I

Program follows

Five habitats

Wetland, Forest, Clay, Fire and Night Sky: each habitat has its own music, its own pace and its own hour.

Why we paused, why we return

  1. Several editions in the forest of Wilde Möhre
  2. The pandemic pause, while the grounds grew
  3. 23 to 25 July 2027: the return

Lusatia ran for several editions in this forest, then paused in the pandemic. In 2027 it returns with a clearer profile: more international, closer to the region, with workshops and a program that bring the Lausitz onto the grounds. Sauna, new areas and glamping are planned as practical extras and will be confirmed before the festival.

How Lusatia came back

What happens by day

Nothing too serious

By day the grounds are for wandering, making things and staying a little longer than planned.

Sauna in the forest

A sauna in the forest, a few steps from the floors, is part of the plan. You go in warm and come out into the smell of pines. Whether and how it opens for Lusatia, we confirm before the festival.

Make something

Workshops run from late morning, all weekend. Clay, textiles, light and sound, some of them led by people from the region. You leave with something you made and someone you met.

Play

Hula hoops, juggling balls and grown ups who forgot to stop. The afternoon is long enough for it.

Breathe

Quiet moments between the loud ones. In the mornings there is room for breathing and stretching, and for small rituals if you like them. Nobody checks whether you join.

Cacao from the big pot

Warm cups, shared at long tables. When the big pot comes out, the tables fill up faster than the cups.

Talks

Guests from the region and from further away on a small stage under the trees, in the afternoons. The topics: what the Lausitz was, what it is becoming, and what a festival can do there. Formats follow with the program.

Program and lineup follow

Lusatia is made by the makers of Wilde Möhre, the Wilde Habitate and the members of the Mit Freude eG, and by many more who will be announced here soon.

What happens at night

A floating island of plants, stones and small figures in front of a coloured moon

The night opens

Electronic music under the pines, until the birds. Artists are announced in waves, newsletter first.

The floor in the forest

Lanterns, a cube of light and a crowd between the trunks. The forest floor is the one you hear first when you arrive and the last one you leave.

Behind the decks

Two hands on the mixer, a sail of light above. From the first afternoon set to the last morning, the booths in the habitats are the quiet center of the noise.

After dark

Fire, light and a dance floor that takes its time. At the fire habitat the night runs slower than in the forest.

Who drums on the moon?

The night sky habitat opens when the forest gets dark. Up there, the drums come from somewhere you cannot see.

Who is there

Come as you are

Costume is welcome, nobody has to. Most people arrive as themselves and change their minds by Saturday.

The sofa corner

Everyone ends up here sooner or later. The sofas stand between the floors, a little out of the loud, and nobody asks you to move on.

Illustration of people sitting around a heart shaped campfire at night

The fire

A heart of embers, a circle of people, and the night gets long. Someone always makes room on the bench.

Made together

Lusatia is built by its community: artists, workshop hosts, cooks, builders and guests shape the grounds side by side.

Why Lusatia returns

What is Lusatia

Lusatia is an international festival of electronic music, art and workshops on former mining land in Lower Lusatia, in the south of Brandenburg, on the grounds of Wilde Möhre. The region is part of the story: old pits that became lakes, a forest growing back over sand, and people who stayed and are building something new here.
