The time has come that Melt Festival will once again be taking place in June of 2022!
After two years in the making Melt can’t wait to come together with all fans again this summer. A whole new world is unfolding at Melt Festival, far from any restrictions.
With more than 200 artists announced so far, and take-overs by German clubs and radio stations, #melt2022 promises its visitors a more diverse and finer curated line-up than ever. As well as more than seven new stages to give artists more slots to shine and to be discovered. Two stages already have been announced: the Club Floor and the Radio Stage.
We’re over the moon to announce the return of the king of sadboys YUNG LEAN. Together with BLADEE, fans of sad rap will get their cup of tea. As well as the return of the most iconic artist of her generation, queen of techno ELLEN ALLIEN, who will serve fans and friends with the best techno bangers out there.
More than 200 artists in total have been confirmed for this summer: Among others is French producer & singer COUCOU CHLOE, who will be present at Melt with her collective members SEGA BODEGA and SHYGIRL. Also confirmed is BBYMUTHA, one of underground hiphop’s most daring and admired new talent, as well as UK hiphop star HEADIE ONE, and EARTHEATER, a thrilling avant garde-pop producer from New York.
At Melt 2022 genre borders are being broken down like never before. From hyperpop, to leftfield house and sad rap to slamming techno. This year’s edition will have the biggest variety of artists in the history of Melt Festival. With Berghain resident MARCEL DETTMANN playing back to back with the legendary DJ STINGRAY, electronic music at its best is secured this summer. Also, HERRENSAUNA founder CEM will be playing with co-founder MCMLXXXV. There will be hard-hitting G-House from PARTIBOI69 as well as live sets from artists like LEON VYNEHALL, DJ SEINFELD, DANIEL AVERY and THE BLAZE.
Next to a high number of artists, Melt 2022 will have more stages than ever before. Next to the current stages, seven new stages are added this year. Namely Live From Earth Stage, Planet XYZ, Ping Pong Stage, Liquid Jungle, Introducing Stage, Club Floor and Radio Stage.
The Club Floor is a new stage at the water side of the camping area, where ravers and friends can catch the perfect summer vibes and rave from sundawn to sunrise and back. Together with some handpicked clubs from all over Germany Melt wants to strengthen the community and celebrate the vitality of the local scenes. For this year they have invited Institut für Zukunft, Jaki, PAL, Robert Johnson, OXI and their resident DJ’s.
Another brand new stage at the waterside of the camping area is the Radio Stage – a new area space where everyone can hang out, chill out, sip drinks and dance in the water. While chilling-out from the night before, the radio stations will serve fans and ravers the best possible mixes out there, broadcasting live from the beach. Giving community radios their own stage. For #melt2022 we chose to focus on local German radios such as HÖR Berlin, Refuge Worldwide and Radio 80000.
After two years in the making, Melt Festival is back. The Melt team has worked hard to offer its visitors a more innovative and intimate festival experience. The main changes are more artists to discover, more stages, and more non-music activities at the festival, as well as an additional pre day on Thursday! Melt Festival has always been a melting point for the most diverse fans from all over the world and with #anewworld the festival is looking forward to a lot of new experiences and expectations!
