Orkus! festival tip: NCN 2026

From September 4 to 6, 2026, it’s that time again: the NCN Festival in Deutzen opens its doors. The Nocturnal Culture Night Festival, NCN for short, which takes place every year in September at the Kulturpark Deutzen, has been impressing audiences for years with its excellent program, friendly atmosphere and beautiful festival grounds. A festival where you can celebrate old heroes and discover new music stress-free on four stages (plus a reading stage) over three days. Another special feature of the NCN is that there is literally seating everywhere, mostly in the green under trees and near at least one stage. A varied supporting program also ensures that there is never a dull moment. The NCN is exactly how you want a festival to be: first-class headliners in a wonderful setting and a wonderful, informal atmosphere. So: let’s go!
