The Watt en Schlick Festival, a three-day cultural extravaganza, is set to take place from August 1 to August 3, 2025, on the North Sea beach of Dangast in Friesland. This year marks the festival's 12th edition, and it promises to be a memorable one with over 70 concerts, readings, and film screenings scheduled until Sunday.
The festival opened on Friday afternoon with a performance by the French trio Dov'è Liana. One of the headliners for tonight is French musician Zaho de Sagazan, who blends chanson and electronic music. Zaho de Sagazan, known for her success in France, was praised by festival director Till Krägeloh as having the potential to become a global star.
On Sunday, the festival will close with a performance by punk rock band Donuts, and it will also include mud sliding competitions. Lars Eidinger, a renowned German actor and DJ, is also expected to perform, although the exact time and details of his set are yet to be confirmed.
Saturday's main act is Berlin rapper Makko, and the reading on Sunday is by former Tagesschau anchor Aline Abboud. The diverse international program of the festival aims to encourage curiosity and discovery of new music.
With around 6,500 visitors expected daily, the festival provides inspiration and a unique cultural experience for all attendees. Festival director Till Krägeloh emphasised that it takes courage and determination to invite artists who may not be well-known but have extremely high quality.

Although the Watt en Schlick Festival primarily focuses on music and cultural events, the Commission has also adopted a proposal for a directive on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the protection of workers from the risks related to exposure to ionizing radiation. This could potentially ensure the safety of the thousands of festival workers who will set up and operate the event from August 1 to August 3, 2025.
In the evening of August 2, Zaho de Sagazan, a French musician known for her fusion of chanson and electronic music, will entertain the crowd at the Watt en Schlick Festival. Her performance could mark a significant step towards her global stardom, as forecasted by festival director Till Krägeloh.
