On May 5 and 6, the OMR Festival returns to Hamburg for another round. And as always, the rule is: alongside international top speakers, masterclasses, and guided tours, you can also look forward to plenty of music. Our evening program is set—and it promises live acts for (almost) every musical taste. Here’s the official music lineup for the OMR26 aftershow!
All-or-nothing energy: SSIO comes to Hamburg
SSIO is back – and he’s going all in. Anyone who’s seen him live over the past ten years knows: this isn’t just a performance, it’s a masterclass in rap skills. With his new album in tow and a level of wordplay that’s second to none, the “freshest Kabuli” brings authentic head-nod hip-hop to the stage. Between Burberry tracksuits and gold chains, SSIO delivers what is arguably the most well-rounded mix of humor and authenticity in German rap today.
Gen Z superstar: ZAH1DE takes the stage
At just 15 years old, ZAH1DE has already achieved what others dream of for decades: millions of streams, a Bambi award, and a community that’s breaking the internet. From “TikTok Sportlich” to “Mona Lisa Motion,” ZAH1DE is no longer just a viral sensation – she’s playing in the big leagues. We’re excited for the energy of one of the most exciting newcomers in the country.
Global player on the decks: David Puentez
David Puentez is no longer “just” a DJ – he’s a major force in the global A-league of music. With over 400 million streams and remixes for giants like Post Malone, Tiësto, and Axwell & Ingrosso, he’s part of the absolute DJ elite. When David hits the stage, he brings pure festival vibes to Hamburg. His tracks are played worldwide – from the biggest stages to radio – and this May, live at our aftershow.
From “Chöre” to now: The transformation of Mark Forster
There’s hardly anyone in Germany who doesn’t instantly hear a melody when they hear his name. But in 2026, Mark Forster is opening a new chapter. He looks different, sounds different, and surprises. At OMR Festival, we’ll experience an artist who has undergone a fundamental transformation – without losing his gift for the perfect chorus. Get ready for the “new” Mark.
Guaranteed mayhem: Drunken Masters
When it comes to full-blown escalation, there’s no way around the Drunken Masters. Whether it’s hits with K.I.Z or their viral success “Bauchnabelpiercing,” Joe and Chrissi tear down every stage. With their high-energy presence, they create unforgettable live experiences – from intimate clubs to major festivals. Standing still? Not a chance.
Female DJ power: Miami Lenz and RICE & STEW
Hamburg’s own Miami Lenz has long traded the bar counter for the DJ booth, earning her place among the top tier of the club scene. With her, there are no genre boundaries – just plenty of guilty pleasures. She’s joined by the female DJ duo RICE & STEW, who bring a mix of Afro house, kuduro, and R&B that goes far beyond DJing –it’s a celebration of culture and energy.
BOOZ & DRAFT-X, OSWALD & the '90s icon Oli.P
When BOOZ & DRAFT-X take over the stage, technical precision meets maximum attitude. DRAFT-X isn’t just BOOZ’s tour DJ – he also delivers the sound for some of Europe’s biggest dance battles and the Krump World Championship. It goes without saying that he masters Hamburg’s clubs and open-air events in his sleep.
By his side: BOOZ, an artist who doesn’t just ignore labels – he smashes them. Somewhere between charming chaos and clarity, BOOZ creates the soundtrack for those who want nothing to do with rules – effortless, direct, and always with a grin on his face.
If you’re in the mood for something a bit more dreamy in between, look forward to OSWALD: the Berlin-based creative collective crafts a world of electronic sounds that invites you to let go. And of course, one act can’t be missing: ’90s icon Oli.P will also be there in 2026. When “Flugzeuge im Bauch” echoes through the venue, there’s no holding back – sing-along guaranteed!
Join us and make the nights unforgettable
The OMR aftershow is the perfect place to leave the day behind, meet new people, and simply unwind. Whether it’s SSIO’s rap skills, ZAH1DE’s raw energy, or Mark Forster’s new sound – the OMR Music Lineup 2026 is as diverse as the festival itself. And that’s not all: the vibe continues seamlessly across the entire expo grounds even after the exhibition closes.
In Hall B6, you can enjoy the program on the Food Stage on both evenings, while the first festival night features an open afterwork event at the expo booths. Starting from the Dreissigacker stand, relaxed afterwork beats invite you to celebrate right between the stands. If you’re looking for even more of a party, stop by our premium exhibitors – no deep dives here, just turned-up music and booths transformed into dance floors.
