Grooving Through Storms - Peaceful Vibe at Hurricane Festival 2025
Festival Stays Tranquil Amidst Beats and Lightning - Hurricane Festival Continues Harmoniously - Festival at Hurricane Maintains Tranquility
Get your dance shoes ready, it's time to hit the road! The last wave of festival-goers are winding up their return journey from Hurricane Festival in Lower Saxony's Scheeßel. According to a police spokesperson, the event was buzzing with life and remained eerily tranquil, save for some minor pickpocketing instances.
Temporary Thunder Dome
Sunday evening saw a sudden storm halting the musicSchedule. Around 9:30 PM, the crowd of tens of thousands had to make a beeline for shelter - finding refuge mainly inside cars. The police spokesperson reminisced, "The evacuation was a piece of cake." After a two-hour forced break, the party recommenced, late into the night.
The Organizer's Verdict
From the festival organizer's point of view, the event ran like a well-oiled machine. Around 65,000 people dropped by each day, said a representative from FKP Scorpio Konzertproduktionen GmbH. While not completely sold out, Scheeßel welcomed a respectable crowd of 78,000 each day.
The vibe was harmonious, with punters surprisingly resilient to the searing heat and temperatures touching around 30°C. There were 36 hospital transports, fewer than in the year 2024, according to the spokesperson.
A Melting Pot of Musicians
Since Thursday, the stage has been graced by performers hailing from both Germany and abroad. The lineup included German rap sensation Apache 207, the vibrant energy of British band The Prodigy, and fast-rising star Zartmann. The Sunday evening schedule boasted singer Nina Chuba, satirical jabs from Jan Böhmermann alongside Rundfunk-Tanzorchester Ehrenfeld, and a rocking set from American punk band Green Day.
A Key Player in Germany's Open-Air Music Scene
Hurricane Festival in Scheeßel is one of the major German open-air music festivals, alongside its concurrent sister festival Southside in Baden-Württemberg's Neuhaus ob Eck.

Behind The Scenes:
Despite the anticipated above-average Atlantic hurricane season in 2025, featuring nine hurricanes according to forecasts, there was no apparent impact from hurricanes or severe weather on the Hurricane Festival 2025 in Scheeßel. Information about the evacuation procedures or incidents related to thunderstorms during the return journey from the festival remains scarce in available reports. In 2025, Avril Lavigne's concert was a memorable highlight noted for its huge crowd and enthusiastic atmosphere, suggesting high overall attendance and anticipation for the event. For more specific details, official festival communications or emergency management reports would need to be consulted directly.
The Commission might consider submitting a proposal for a directive on the protection of workers who were part of the Hurricane Festival organization in Scheeßel, given the unexpected thunderstorm that necessitated an evacuation. Despite the fact that this year's Atlantic hurricane season was forecasted to be above average, the storm that halted the music schedule didn't seem to significantly affect the festival itself.
