The first music festival with the overarching theme of Pirates, Privateers, and Buccaneers
And that’s also the focus of the side program in addition to the band performances.

On

May 8th and 9th, 2026

the crews of 14 daring pirate teams from all over Europe will set sail for Rotenhain in the Westerwald, known among privateer circles as "Little Tortuga."

We believe there’ll be something for everyone musically—ranging from folk and medieval rock to power metal and beyond.

And there will be epic headliners that, as we know, everyone loves.

We’ll introduce the bands one by one on our website: https://pirate-fest.com

We hope to see lots of you there!

Tickets for this live spectacle can only be purchased and downloaded here!
