Arvato Continues Partnership with “Friedas Tanztee” Music Festival in 2026

When thousands of music fans gather once again in Rietberg, one thing will be clear: “Friedas Tanztee” has established itself as one of the region’s most exciting festival formats in just a few years. With a growing audience, an increasingly international line-up, and additional stages, the festival is set to host its largest edition to date, once again supported by Arvato as a long-standing partner.

Around 7,500 visitors are expected for the upcoming edition on June 19 and 20, 2026. This continues the festival’s growth trajectory since 2022 and once again creates a unique destination for music, community, and festival experiences in the East Westphalia region.

The festival is also expanding its musical offering. With additional stages on both festival days, the program will grow significantly. On Friday, the number of stages will increase from one to two, while Saturday’s program will expand from three to four stages. In total, nearly 30 artists from five countries are expected to perform, including acts from Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark, Austria, and the United Kingdom. This further strengthens the festival’s international profile.

“We are particularly pleased to support regional events such as ‘Friedas Tanztee’,” says Alina Seibert, Project Manager at Arvato. “With our headquarters in Gütersloh, we are practically right next door. What makes ‘Friedas Tanztee’ so special is the authenticity, dedication, and passion behind the project, combined with a clear ambition to continuously improve and offer even more to its audience. The organizers create unforgettable memories for their visitors.”

She adds: “We share this creativity, passion, and drive to move things forward. That is why we clearly see ourselves as a partner of ‘Friedas Tanztee’. It is always inspiring to see so many people come together to celebrate and enjoy themselves, and we are proud to contribute to that experience.”

Beyond the music, the festival’s unique atmosphere remains at the heart of the event. The combination of electronic music, carefully designed festival surroundings, and strong regional roots has made “Friedas Tanztee” a fixed highlight in the summer calendar for its loyal fans.
