The splash! philosophy
In 1998 the idea to organize a festival for Hip Hop and Reggae music evolved within the Phlatline Crew in Chemnitz.
Said and done: The first festival started already in July..t matter if graffiti artist, breakdancer, MC, DJ, beatbox artist, skateboarder or guest, splash! was and is a festival from people for people with ideas, intentions and visions.
Guidelines for disabled people, concepts for waste prevention, panel discussions or fundraising campaigns - splash! has always seen itself as an antipole to a society which is getting colder and colder. It still wants to encourage people to reflect and show that the impossible is possible if you only have enough energy and will power.
In 2006, when the festival had to be saved from breakup, visitors and friends made the impossible possible: Today we are very glad to announce the 10th splash! festival! And we still do everything to advance the event and to make it a true experience for every guest.
Last but not least we are talking about an idea, a dream and a vision which lets people find new friends, encounter new aspects and makes culture a touchable experience. We are working on the implementation of this dream and looking forward to the next ten years of splash! feeling!
