"At MELT 2024, we will once again showcase the diversity of the musical and cultural zeitgeist, featuring many artists from different genres, styles and cultural backgrounds, all playing in a gathering of curious and like-minded people," explains festival director Florian Czok.

"Nonetheless, electronic music is at the heart of the festival. German hype acts like Marlon Hoffstadt and Malugi, DJ Heartstring - who will all curate a whole stage with their event series for a day - and international ones like ANOTR and X Club., or legends like Honey Dijon, DJ Koze, Bonobo, and KI/KI with her live-set, are only a few of many that will showcase their art in unique, fitting and picture-perfect settings.

"Additional world premieres like Marcel Dettmann b2b VTSS and DJ Mell G b2b Helena Hauff, besides many more exciting things yet to be announced, prove that MELT is the unrivalled home for forward-thinking electronic music in Germany!"
