Infos
The Sägewerk Festival is entering its fifth round! We are excited to celebrate this anniversary with all of you from August 27th to 30th, 2026. As usual, we’ll be taking over the former Cottbus-Drewitz airfield in Brandenburg. Since last year worked out so well we are once again starting the long weekend on Thursday!
Across our various floors, there is plenty more to discover along the classic khisdapaze sound. Following its successful premiere last year, our Live Stage will naturally return as a permanent part of the program. Additionally, the "Kulturwerk" is back in action to offer even more diversity and a broader range of activities beyond music. Away from the dance floors, you can expect wild surroundings, artistic interventions, and many small, hidden spots waiting to be discovered by you.
We are doing our best to keep the festival as fair as possible for you. That’s why this year, we’ve decided on a uniform ticket price without any complicated pricing levels. As usual, you´ll find budget-friendly drinks at the bars and plenty of great food options to keep you well-fed.
We can’t wait to see you <3
Tickets
Ticket sales will start on March 13, 2026 at 4:00 PM and will run in a single phase this year! Since the first price tiers sold out instantly in previous years, we’ve decided on a uniform price. This way, everyone has the same chance at a ticket.
This year, there will also be a uniform ticket for all vehicles (cars and campers). Since we cannot guarantee parking spots directly by the camping meadow, we have simplified the options. You can find these via the TICKET AREA button.
If you are interested in the Supporti-Ticket or the Alle-Dabei-Ticket, you can find all the necessary info further down.

Directions
The exact address of the Cottbus-Drewitz airfield is Flugplatzstr. 1, 03197 Jänschwalde (coordinates: 51.884123571199325, 14.532970037272362). The site is easy to reach by Sägebus, train, bicycle or car. You are welcome to arrive from Thursday, 27.08.2026, from 12:00.
Sägebus
This year, there will again be a convenient option for traveling directly to and from the festival grounds from Berlin Südkreuz station. Exact departure times and ticket sales information will be announced soon.
Train
The nearest train station, Jänschwalde Ost, is just 1.5 km from the festival site. It is therefore a good idea to travel by train. It takes just under two hours from Berlin. If the walk from the station to the festival site (approx. 20-30 minutes) is too far, it’s best to bring a bike. Alternatively there will be also a shuttle service. Information will follow soon.
Traveling together
Looking for travel buddies or have a spare seat in your car? Join our Telegram networking group to form carpools or join the bike crew. You’ll find several channels for bus, train, car, and bicycle travel, as well as for arrivals from outside Berlin. Feel free to reach out via vernetzung@khisdapaze.de to receive the link to the group.
Car/Camper
If you decide to come with a motorized vehicle, please make sure you buy the appropriate ticket. You can find them in our ticket portal. Please form carpools, because cars with empty seats are not nice.
Umwelt
We, khisdapaze e.V., are committed to putting environmental awareness at the center of our work and to improving our efforts year after year so that the Sägewerk Festival can be organized as sustainably and eco-friendly as possible.
To achieve this, we've set internal goals and developed a comprehensive environmental concept that takes into account the key aspects of planning and running a festival in a natural environment.
As part of the khisdapaze family, we want to encourage all of you to join us in this commitment by treating the festival site with respect and care.
Building on topics we've already focused on last year, such as environmental education, waste separation, biodegradable products, and resource-conscious practices, this year we've paid a lot of attention to species protection. In close collaboration with local authorities and environmental planners, we've developed protection measures for ground-nesting birds and reptiles, including the rescheduling of the festival to late summer in order to avoid disrupting their breeding and habitats.
Our latest efforts focus on the development of a reusable bowl/plate system to avoid the waste generated by the disposable plates in the food court, as well as the acquisition of power generators that consume less fuel and thereby reduce our direct emissions.

Further Information
Awareness
At our events, we - as the khisdapaze collective - want everyone to feel comfortable. We strive for a non-discriminatory, peaceful and non-judgmental space where everyone can have a good time together. We recognize that discrimination can also occur at our events. To counteract this, we have drawn up a Code of Conduct - a shared set of values. We have an awareness team at all of our events.
Inclusion
Participation for All – that's our goal for the Sägewerk Festival! We are actively working to remove various access barriers so that the festival is equally accessible and enjoyable for people with different needs.
Local networking
Since the end of 2024, our Local Networking team has been working to connect the festival more closely with the region around Drewitz. We especially want to collaborate with people from the immediate neighborhood and the Niederlausitz area.
Here's how you can get involved:
Camping
A large campground where you can set up camp will be located just a few meters from the festival site. Please treat the site with care. If you return a full garbage bag at the end of the festival, you will receive your €10 trash deposit back in cash.
Rules
We are also just guests on the site. Therefore, please only throw away garbage in the garbage bags and do pee-pee only in the toilets. Open fires are prohibited. The entire festival area will be fenced in and it is strictly forbidden to enter other parts of the airfield. Please stay exclusively in the area made available to us.
