Fusion Festivalguide

Published October 16, 2026

Held annually at a former military airfield in Lärz, Germany, Fusion Festival is one of Europe’s most iconic counter-culture gatherings. Known for its blend of electronic music, performative arts, and non-commercial ethos, the festival creates a temporary autonomous space with a distinct visual identity every year.

This publication is the official program guide for the 2026 edition, designed by Philipp Semmler. It helps attendees navigate hundreds of acts and workshops across the sprawling festival grounds.

The layout balances a dense typographic hierarchy with Fusion’s signature DIY-meets-psychedelic aesthetic. Printed on eco-friendly stock, the guide uses Vtg Stencil DIN Rough Light for major headlines and Vtg Stencil DIN Rough for subheadlines, both from astype. Their raw, industrial character is contrasted with Massimo Grafia Plain by nice to type, ensuring clear and readable body copy.
