history
The idea behind Between Mountains dates back a little further than 2025. Inspiration for this interdisciplinary and cross-genre festival came from the Detect Classic Festival in Germany.
Once Holdenweid in Hölstein had finally been identified as a potential venue for the first edition, Between Mountains was able to launch in 2025 – in its first year without camping facilities and therefore as a one-day festival.
Following the 2025 edition, it was clear that there had to be a second edition, and so the Between Mountains Festival took place again in September 2026. This time, it featured a 2.5-day programme and even more guests.
We can’t reveal just yet what the future holds.
