Accessibility

It is important to us that people with limited mobility can also experience and enjoy the festival.

We are happy to support you within the scope of our possibilities. Our new venue, the Kulturwerk in Wissen, is barrier-free.

For wheelchair users and their accompanying persons, there are seats available

If you have a "B" on your ID card, you may bring an accompanying person with you free of charge. In this case, please buy a ticket for yourself and then contact us to register the accompanying person.

Eating & Drinking

No alcohol

We are convinced, and have experienced time and again over the last ten years, that the Loud and Proud Crowd does not need alcohol to celebrate happily and exuberantly.

Therefore, we will again refrain from serving alcohol this year.

Film & Photo

You are welcome to take photos (without flash) as long as you respect the personal rights of the persons photographed. For legal reasons, we are not allowed to film or record music. If you would like to accompany the festival with professional photo equipment, please contact us via the contact form.

Lappi

Our own currency at all LAP events. One Lappi always has the value of one Euro.

Please note that we cannot refund money for leftover Lappis after the end of the festival.

But of course you can use them again next year.

Lappis can be purchased at three different locations on the site.

Merch & Meet

It is important to us that the artists of the festival are role models for our guests. That's why we also want to promote contact between bands and the audience.

Each band will be represented with a merchandise stand.

On the one hand, you can buy CDs, T-shirts and other articles of your favourite band, and on the other hand, you can meet the band members.

Before and after the concert, you can collect autographs, ask questions and certainly take a selfie or two.

Organiser

The festival is organised by the CVJM Loud and Proud. We are an association that focuses on Christian concerts and their organisation.

Our goal is to inspire other people for a life with God through good music, true-to-life messages and an authentic appearance.

We are united by our enthusiasm for music of different styles and the joy of celebrating together. As a voluntary movement, we are happy about our many committed members (approx. 250 from all over Germany, Switzerland, Finland and the USA), which include people from all generations who contribute to our association in different ways (actively and financially).

The CVJM Loud and Proud is a supra-regional association based in Weitefeld (Westerwald) and affiliated to the CVJM Westbund.
