Zappanale is the only Zappa tribute festival in the world since 1990. From Thursday to Sunday, fans from all over the world come together to enjoy the diverse genre of Frank Vincent Zappa and related music - and it's a highlight for us every year that we can welcome former companions of Frank Zappa to our stage.
20 bands over 4 days! Jazz, rock, classical, and avant-garde fans will get their fill here -
and that in a dreamlike setting at the oldest racecourse in Europe in Bad Doberan - just 3 km from the Baltic Sea beach of Heiligendamm.
Here, vacation vibes combine with great music - because Music is the best!
A. Ticket Prices
Ticket prices remain stable, despite the slightly decreased number of spectators last year, which makes things difficult for us. You pay ...
We would also like to announce price reductions here and switch to a model of social, regular, and solidarity tickets. What we can risk and implement depends directly on the development of visitor numbers next year.
The social ticket (for students, citizens receiving basic income, etc.) will be simplified this year and is priced at (hopefully affordable) 170,- Euro
B. Camping Prices
Next year, there will be only one price per vehicle, which we will use to finance the costs for the site and fees to the city of Bad Doberan. You can choose between two time periods in the Sun Camp or for the Green Camp. The fees for the Green Camp are higher because we have much greater expenses there with fees, nature conservation authorities, and setup, as well as providing electricity.
A. Sun Camp
Those who wish to arrive and camp only for the three festival days will pay 80,- (Early Bird), 90,- (regular), or 100,- Euro (box office).
Those who want to arrive and camp the week before from Tuesday to Thursday will pay 120,- (Early Bird), 135,- (regular), or 150,- Euro (box office)
B. Green Camp
Those who want to camp at the Green Camp will pay 170,- (Early Bird), 185,- (regular), or 210,- Euro (box office).
It doesn't matter how many people arrive in one vehicle at the Sun and Green Camps! Two-wheelers are free! Day visitors are free
Admission: 19:00 Uhr
