20 Years Weltturbojugendtage

International Punk Festival in St. Pauli Completely Sold Out

From July 30th to August 1st, 2026, the 20th Weltturbojugendtage (WTJT) will take place in Hamburg. The festival, which has become the most important annual gathering of the international Turbojugend scene, is completely sold out.

 

For the 20th time, fans from around the world will turn Hamburg’s St. Pauli district into a hotspot of punk and rock culture. The program includes concerts at iconic venues such as Molotow and Docks - featuring Turbonegro - as well as exclusive side shows at the St. Pauli Fanshop and a “Turbocruise” on the River Elbe.

 

“Even after 20 years, the fact that we continue to attract an international audience to Hamburg and sell out the festival entirely, shows the enduring vitality of this subculture,” says Turbojugend St. Pauli e.V.

 

WTJT is not just a series of concerts, but a blend of festival, fan convention, and cultural exchange.

 

Following seven years away from Weltturbojugendtage they are now heading finally back. Expect a wild night, electrifying riffs, and an unforgettable headline show packed with pure Deathpunk euphoria with TURBONEGRO.

Alongside established acts such as The Good The Bad and The Zugly, LÜT, and The Meffs, the lineup also provides a stage for numerous local bands.

 

The organizers emphasize the event’s growing importance as a fixed date in the European summer calendar for rock music.
