Southside is a rock and alternative festival trip to Neuhausen ob Eck in southern Germany. The key public-transport connection is Tuttlingen, followed by the festival’s final transfer; choose accommodation with that complete journey in mind.
The 2027 weekend
The organiser confirms 18–20 June 2027 in Neuhausen ob Eck. This is Southside’s southern German site, separate from Hurricane in Scheeßel on the same weekend. Check the destination on every ticket and travel search, especially if you are comparing both festivals before choosing one.
The festival website identifies its old artist bill and aftermovie as 2026 material. Treat those as an introduction to the event’s range of rock, alternative and other music, rather than evidence of a particular 2027 set. Use new artist announcements and the eventual running order to finalise your day plan.
Fly in, then travel to Tuttlingen
Stuttgart is the airport used in this guide’s initial flight search. Compare the full rail or road journey to Tuttlingen with alternative gateways if they suit your origin. Cross-border arrivals can involve different train tickets and transfer conditions, so a shorter map distance is not enough to choose a route.
The organiser’s travel page says a festival shuttle links Tuttlingen railway station with the festival grounds, with details to follow. Confirm the 2027 operating dates, boarding location and last return before buying an inflexible connection. Do not plan an immediate flight-to-shuttle transfer with no margin for luggage or delays.
Camping and vehicle choices
Camping can keep your whole weekend at the site. Southside offers distinct camping, caravan and resort arrangements, so check the product conditions before deciding what equipment to bring. A caravan pitch, a tent stay and a parking space should be treated as separate choices unless the booking explicitly bundles them.
The organiser separates parking from camping and directs arriving vehicles along designated routes. Some road information still contains 2026 opening dates; wait for the correct 2027 arrival instructions before setting a driving schedule. Avoid relying on an unverified early arrival simply because your flight or rental starts that day.
Rooms in the surrounding area
For a hotel itinerary, compare Neuhausen ob Eck and Tuttlingen, then map the complete late-night return from the festival. A room near a shuttle route can be more useful than a rural property with a lower price and no confirmed pickup. Ask about late entry and where you can leave bags on departure day.
If combining Southside with a longer trip through southern Germany, put the sightseeing nights before or after the music weekend. Changing hotels every festival day means repeated packing and transfers. A consistent base lets you use the programme flexibly and gives your group an obvious meeting place.
Ticket and arrival checklist
Start with the official ticket shop and confirm the number of festival days, camping rights and any vehicle extras in the final basket. Check the current accessibility guidance if you need an adapted camping location or help with the route from arrival to the stages. Confirm the sleeping arrangement with every member of your group before paying.
For an international visit, reaching the region before the first music day gives more room to collect supplies and find the shuttle. Save the site map, ticket and hotel details offline. Bring hearing protection, weather layers and footwear for time outdoors, while following the updated bag and camping rules.
Plan the return after the final night around checkout, packing and the shuttle back to Tuttlingen. If the 2027 service times are not yet available, keep travel flexible. The official 2026 video below can help you picture the atmosphere, but it should not be used to infer a specific stage location for next year.
