Canada is heading back to Hamburg!

This September, CIMA returns to the 2026 Reeperbahn Festival & Conference with another edition of Canada House, alongside a full slate of networking and business events taking place across Hamburg and Berlin.

For two days, Thursday, September 17 and Friday, September 18, Canada House will once again transform UWE into a hub for Canadian music. From midday until midnight, attendees can catch an incredible mix of artists from coast to coast, showcasing the diversity and creativity of Canada’s independent music scene.

We’re excited to reveal this year’s Canada House lineup:

Absolute Treat | Boutique Feelings | Dempsey Bolton | Gizmo | Jashim | Julian Taylor | Julianna Riolino | Kazdoura | Kelly McMichael | KOYOT | Le Ren | Les Shirley | Rayannah | RIELL | Sam Mallais | Shiv & the Carvers | Snotty Nose Rez Kids | The Naysayers | The Redhill Valleys | WAIT//LESS

Before the music begins, Canadian delegates will connect in Berlin on September 15 for a morning of business events and international networking. Then it’s back to Hamburg, where a matchmaking session will help kick off another busy edition of Canada House before the first artists take to the stage.

If you’re making your way to Reeperbahn this September, make sure Canada House at UWE is on your schedule on September 17 and 18!
