As summer starts to wind down, the momentum at Artist For Artist® is building up. We’re stepping into the Fall season with a full slate of programming, partnerships, and purpose-driven creative — beginning with a return to one of Europe’s most important stages.
AFA x Reeperbahn Festival
We’re back in Hamburg, Germany for this year’s Reeperbahn Festival, activating on September 18–19 with a high-caliber showcase at Spielbude XL, presented in collaboration with Gibson, American Songwriter, and Groover.
On stage, Douwe Bob (winner of the AFA x American Songwriter Highway Hits contest) and Octave Lissner will lead the charge, with more names to come. One lucky fan will also walk away with a brand new Gibson Les Paul Studio “The One”, live from the stage.
The following day, we’ll head to the Bacardi Lounge @ East Hotel, where AFA will host a panel on artist empowerment at 11:45AM. If you're in town, come say hi. RSVP to AFA x Reeperbahn here!
Looking Ahead: SXSW 2026
While Europe is in our immediate sights, our team is already deep in production for SXSW 2026, where we’ll be rolling out a fresh slate of new partners, bold stages and artist-forward storytelling in Austin.
If you’re looking to activate at SXSW, now is the time to start the conversation. We’re building large scale activations from scratch and also ones that you can plug into! If you’d like to make a splash and plan early, we’d love to hear from you. Send us an email at info@artistforartist.com
