ICB Festival Hamburg returns to ICB Studios in the Speicherstadt from Friday 11th to Sunday 13th December 2026, hosted by Issam & Charlott. The lineup brings Irene & Tomas and Agustin & Alba from Spain, Geno & Steffi and Jeremy & Demi from the Netherlands, Diger & Marie from France, Sabrina & Philipp and Thomas & Delia from Switzerland and Vicky & Marquito from Germany, with DJ Tony and DJ Chami at the socials. Classes run from beginner to master level across three days, with shows and three social parties.

ICB is a compact studio festival with a strong sensual lineup, and it sells out early: full passes were gone by 2 October. If you missed them, the 45 € social pass still gets you into the parties with this crowd. Roles are balanced by pausing sales for one role if the gap grows, and names can be changed until 24 hours before the start for 10 €, so watch for resale passes. The last edition scored 4.5 from 11 verified reviews on go&dance.
