ikarus festival is a multi-day open-air gathering held at a commercial airport site in the allgäu region of southern germany, running since 2012. the site's runways and hangars define the setting, with stages spread across the airfield and surrounding grounds. programming spans electronic music broadly, with techno, house, and trance represented across multiple stages.
the festival is known regionally for its unusual venue character and draws a mixed crowd from across the german-speaking world. past editions have included both indoor hangar stages and outdoor areas running simultaneously through the weekend.
