Elbe in Concert

During Hamburg’s 837th Port Birthday celebrations on May 8 and 9, 2026, the Elbe River became a grand stage: On the floating Elbe stage in front of the St. Pauli Landungsbrücken, guests enjoyed around 20 live acts, spectacular laser, light, and pyrotechnic shows, as well as an extraordinary stage concept spanning 2,500 m² in the middle of the Elbe over two evenings. The “Elbe in Concert” event, presented by the Fairplay Towage Group, was one of the absolute highlights of the world’s largest harbor festival. The program also included a Guinness World Record attempt for the world’s largest temporary floating stage. Over the two days, a total of around 1.1 million people celebrated the Port of Hamburg together.

For the laser shows during the performances by DJ Topic, Ben Zucker, and Santiano, Laserfabrik GmbH used a total of ten RTI PIKO 120 laser projectors, creating impressive visual highlights.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Laserfabrik GmbH for their trust in our laser projectors, as well as to Julian Huke and Desiree Berger, who provided us with the fantastic photos capturing this special event.
