ibug - A festival for urban art

Location

The colourful must go into the dirty! IBUG is one of the most important festivals for urban art in Europe. Its trademark is already in the title: IBUG stands for brownfield redevelopment. Abandoned factories, empty halls, industrial sites overgrown with new greenery - these are the venues for the festival, which attracts tens of thousands of visitors every year. International artists and a team of numerous volunteers transform the derelict sites into a positive utopia of possibility with paintings, graffiti, stencils, paste-ups, illustrations, installations and multimedia art. Guided tours, series of talks, workshops and events provide a historical reappraisal and make it possible to experience a confrontation with places that once gave the city its identity. New: It is also about future perspectives for the places found. in 2025, visitors will be able to experience the 20th edition of the festival. To mark the anniversary, the team has located a very special place rich in industrial history. The exact location will only be revealed a few weeks before the festival begins.
