Review 2024

Szigeti Juli

Friday found its first highlight with electro swing from Hungary: Szigeti Juli is the front woman and founding member of the fantastic band, which combines elements of swing, funk, EDM and pop music to create a sound that sets the audience on fire.

Make A Move

The absolute headliner guarantee on Saturday evening: MAKE A MOVE bounce onto our stage from the streets of Berlin and get the guests moving! There were horns in tutus, bass and guitar pumping out the groove, and it was all driven by a rapping drummer.

Sounds over the top? It was!

Betty Oh Boy

Our guests for the second time: the fascinating soundscapes of Betty Oh Boy! They last filled the Elbwiesen 2021 with their unmistakable sound – we are all the more pleased that they were back at the start!

ENYP Guitar Duo

Fat bass lines, a danceable groove and catchy melodies made you dance: that’s what the ENYP Guitar Duo sounds like.

… and in the face of an instrument failure spontaneously supported by our local luminary Max!

CiTaThe Varieté

Of course, our rope acrobat should not be missing in 2024 either! Carsten Ast offered our guests a unique show on the swing – in a magical atmosphere in the sunset of the city skyline.

Malabarista fire show

On Saturday you were thrilled by the impressive fire show of the Malabarista from Magdeburg! For more than 18 years Malabarista has been enchanting people with fire, light and acro shows.

The workshops

Workshops for young and old, workshops to try out, workshops to get to know people … on offer this year: sports, tinkering, music making, dance and theater and much more!

And for the little ones a treasure hunt, face painting and lots of games 🙂

Our supporting program

There was also a lot going on at the Domblick! Year after year, we strive to bring more variety to the Elbe meadows.

From Hengstmann’s cabaret to readers’ stages, variety shows and heavy metal belly dancing … you have to be there. 🙂
