When: Saturday, 14 November 2026
Where: Festsaal Kreuzberg
Doors open at 6 pm, with the first performances starting at 6.30 pm.
The evening will run across two stages, moving between live concerts, DJ sets and an afterparty.
A Festival Made for Wandering
This is not the kind of event where you arrive for one headliner and leave after their set. The idea is closer to a musical journey. You can move between rooms, discover an unfamiliar act, stay for a song you did not expect and then find yourself back on the dancefloor.
The programme deliberately avoids one fixed genre. Funk, jazz, hip hop, soul, punk, Arabic rock, breakbeat and house all share the same night. That makes it a good choice for anyone who enjoys live music as discovery rather than as a familiar routine.
Who Is Playing
The line up includes French funk and hip hop collective DELUXE, soul singers Charlotte Colace and Sorvina, blues guitarist Will Jacobs & The Unit, Danish saxophone and drums trio Smag På Dig Selv, and Berlin based Palestinian artist Rasha Nahas.
Berlin’s underground is represented by Sonic Interventions, Ziggy Zeitgeist and Sorvina. The afterparty will feature a DJ set from Dutch act Kraak & Smaak, with Wim Plug behind the decks.
Why the Two Stages Matter
The two stage format changes the rhythm of the evening. Instead of waiting through long gaps between acts, visitors can choose between different energies at the same time. One stage might offer a more intimate or experimental performance, while the other pushes the room towards dancing.
It also gives smaller and local artists the chance to appear in the same space as international names. That balance between discovery and big live moments is what makes the anniversary feel more like a curated festival than a standard concert night.
A Night That Does Not End With the Last Band
The night continues after the live programme with a DJ set from Kraak & Smaak, performed by Wim Plug. It gives visitors a chance to keep dancing and discover more music after the concerts have finished.
More DJs are still to be announced. This suggests that the organisers want the night to keep moving after the live programme ends, turning Festsaal Kreuzberg into a place where concert and club culture meet.
A Good Reason to Leave the House
If you are looking for something to do in Berlin this weekend, this festival offers an easy answer. It is a chance to hear unfamiliar music, support local and international artists and spend an evening moving between different sounds rather than committing to one genre.
