Music events Berlin

This international music festival, which originated in the United States, now also exists in Berlin. In 2015, the first Berlin edition of the Lollapalooza Festival took place on the runways of the former Tempelhof Airport. Since then, the festival has become well established and has taken over Berlin's cult venues: Treptower Park, the Olympiastadion, etc. While the event remains fairly mainstream, the programme offers a plethora of world-famous artists and a variety of styles. We recommend that you consult the dates and programme in advance.

Berlin's musical reputation is well established. The city has a long music-loving tradition and also has its own orchestral music festival: the Musikfest. For three weeks, orchestras and choirs from all over the world come together at the Philharmonie and Konzerthaus to perform more than 60 works. The festival not only cultivates the classical symphonic repertoire, it also seeks to reveal rarer, more unusual or forgotten works, both ancient and contemporary.
