LAKESIDE 2026: Festival atmosphere at Stauteich III
On Friday, October 2, 2026, the observation platform at Stauteich III in Bielefeld will once again transform into a relaxed open-air stage. LAKESIDE combines young live music, a family-friendly festival atmosphere, and a special view of the water into a compact multi-day experience in the format of a lively mini-festival.
Open-air music right by the water
From 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM, the music will resonate outdoors. The stage at Stauteich III offers an unusual backdrop for emerging musicians and bands from Bielefeld and the surrounding area. Original songs and selected covers meet professionally managed sound technology and a colorful mix of genres.
A youth culture stage with a community feel
LAKESIDE is organized by the children's and youth center HOT Billabong. The youth culture stage has been providing a platform for young acts aged 6 to 30 since 2022, for their first live performances and new musical projects. The festival format creates space for encounters, musical discoveries, and real closeness between the stage and the audience.
Picnic blankets, loungers, and festival atmosphere
The relaxed backdrop at Stauteich III invites for listening, lingering, and enjoying together. Picnic blankets, loungers, summery open-air flair, and the acoustics in the open air shape the LAKESIDE experience. The audience can expect not an anonymous large festival, but an accessible neighborhood stage with a personal atmosphere.
Festival organization and access
The observation platform at Stauteich III is located at Brückenstraße 15 in Bielefeld. The venue can be reached from the city center by bus lines 21 and 22.
