Nothing in the air but hands, melody, and rhythm. Sounds, hot breath, speakers, and spotlights—that’s what a song slam feels like. Six singers and songwriters put themselves in your hands; you reward them with your applause.

On these evenings, anything is possible: chanson, acoustic punk, musical cabaret, or bluegrass-flamenco-indiecore.
One hundred and twenty minutes of a competition to outdo each other with handmade music and genuine emotions in the main hall of the Heimathafen.
It’s all about cheers, fame, glory, schnapps, and a bag of cash.
The rules are: no bands, no show dancers, no covers, and certainly no plastic.
The country’s biggest song slam is hosted by the two Berlin-based slam and spoken-word performers Tilman Birr and Piet Weber.
Save the Date:
After five rounds this year, the grand annual finale is coming up on December 10, 2026: At the 6th Songslam, the winners of the preliminary rounds will face off in a unique duel. You decide live in the hall who takes home the title of Songslam Winner 2026.
