Now in its seventh consecutive year since the initiation in 2005, the Elevate Festival will once again open its doors from October 21st to October 26th 2011 and continue on with its unique concept of combining a plethora of diverse musicians and performance artists with political discourse, documentary film screenings and live discussion panels inviting speakers from all over the world.

The preparations for this year's festival with the topic “Elevate the 21st Century" are in full swing. The tour has already been successful. The official website of the Elevate Festival 2011 with the video teaser introducing this year's topic is online. Detailed information about all participants (discourse, music, literature, music talks, lab) can be found in German and English language, as well as tour dates and general information about the festival.
