Sample Music Festival 2025
The music exhibition for contemporary forms of live performance.
What used to be the guitar or drums is now, for many, the turntable or MIDI controller. Since 2015, the Sample Music Festival has served as the international gathering point for the world’s top finger drummers, scratch DJs, and beatmakers. Through live competitions, showcases, and workshops, the latest trends are showcased and the culture is actively cultivated.
To mark its 10th anniversary, the festival invites visitors to an interactive music exhibition at the House of Music, where they can explore the diverse forms of contemporary music performance and unleash their own creativity.
Festival highlights include the Finger Drumming World Championship, the “Clash of the Titans” scratch battle, and many more live activities.
