Harbour Beats Vlotho - Die Elektro-Party im Hafen - 2 Elements - Vortex - Heiner Kohlmeier

Techno
On July 4, 2026, the harbor area will be transformed for the second time into a massive dance floor for “Harbour Beats”, the electronic music party in Vlotho right on the waterfront. As the sun sets over the Weser, partygoers can dance to some killer beats that day. Once again this year, there will be a lineup of prominent DJs who will get the harbor rocking with their sets starting at 5 p.m.

On the decks that day: 

2ELEMENTS
One of Europe’s most sought-after female DJs has already spun at Natur One, Sputnik Springbreak, and the Bootshaus. She’s known for top-notch releases such as her remix for Supermode (Tell Me Why), her remixes for Axwell (Watch the sunrise), and Klingande (Jubel)—all absolute club classics. Her single Tell Me has surpassed 2.4 million Spotify streams. No wonder her tracks end up in the record bags of global stars like Oliver Heldens and Sam Feldt and are played nonstop on major radio stations like bigFM and Sunshine Live.
Get ready for a world-class international club experience!

Vortex
Brace yourselves for an absolute blast, because none other than VORTEX is coming to town! The DJ and producer from Leipzig is an integral part of the renowned Dusted Decks crew and is known for his high-energy sets. Musically, VORTEX moves with virtuosity through modern house and techno, yet effortlessly breaks down genre boundaries. His specialty: driving rhythms paired with a heavy dose of festival sound, gripping mashups, and an uncompromising dose of bass. When VORTEX is at the decks, there’s no letup—here, a dark, gripping atmosphere meets pure party energy.

Heiner Kohlmeier
Once again this year, Heiner Kohlmeier from Porta Westfalica will close out the event and squeeze every last bit of energy out of the crowd’s legs.

The opening set will be performed by former Vlotho DJ Timitus.

Of course, food and drinks will also be available. The crew from “Umsonst und Draußen” will serve visitors delicious cocktails, while Vanessa Hafenkante will offer soft drinks, beer, and snacks to replenish energy reserves. This year, there will also be a second beverage stand—less waiting in line, more partying. There will also be burgers from Authentic Taste.

Admission is by donation.
A big thank you also goes out to the sponsors. Without Sparkasse Herford, Stadtwerke Vlotho, and Klocke Heimtierbedarf, this event wouldn’t be possible.

Since the harbor will be completely closed off for the event that day, it’s best to park under the Weser Bridge and use the underpass to access the festival grounds. Please note that a flea market will take place under the bridge the next day, so cars cannot be left there overnight.
