Events in Berlin

If there's one thing you can say for certain about Berlin, is that this town sure knows how to put on an event. The world famous Love Parade may have moved elsewhere for now, but admirably filling the void are the ultra-hip Popkomm music industry event and the increasingly prestigious 'Berlinale', the city's very own film festival - and that's just for starters. Thanks to the potent mix of Teutonic organisation and the city's unique artistic vibe, there's always something cooking in the capital!

events on today

Whether you're in town for a weekend or you live here we hope you'll find our events section a useful guide to what's going on in the city, from rock concerts to contemporary art exhibitions. Rather than list the opening of every letter in Berlin we are concentrating on bringing you some top highlights, with all the must-attends plus one or two esoteric choices to keep you guessing. Check out our monthly listings (see above) and you'll find the hippest happenings in the realms of jazz, theatre, opera, ballet, art, festivals and plain good-old parties.

RUE LASCAR live!

Wednesday, 28 December 2011 | 10:00pm | Badehaus Szimpla Musiksalon, Revalerstrasse 99, 10245 Berlin-Friedrichshain

This explosive 5-piece combo fronted by parisian-born Matt DeHarp is presently based in Berlin and distinguishes itself with its original mix of Musette sprayed with a good dose of Delta Blues, as well as various layers of early Swing stuff. There's a faint but definite New Orleans, Mardi-Gras vibe in there, amidst a wealth of songs sung in various languages, a happy marriage of old-time covers and sparkling original numbers sung either in english, french or even russian. Their musical skills, allied with the variety of this cultural background and their communicative good humor and zaniness has made Rue Lascar one of the scene's hottest contenders. A unique live show, to experience at any cost.
