Berlin Weekly Guide: April 13th - 19th

Monday, April 13th

Kick off the week at Gretchen with Ghost Funk Orchestra. This 10-piece ensemble is a powerhouse of soul, funk, and psych-rock that will definitely shake off any Monday blues.

For something community-focused, check out the Chor Confetti performance at Heinrich-Schulz-Bibliothek to celebrate 125 years of Berlin choral history. If you want to get involved, the Circle Singing session at Pablo Neruda library is a low-pressure way to dive into group improvisation.

Tuesday, April 14th

Tuesday keeps it mellow and melodic. Whether you are looking for an afternoon Tanznachmittag with live music, a spring singing session, or the warm Caribbean vibes of Trio SonMex, there is plenty of local charm to be found in the city's community centers.

Wednesday, April 15th

The midweek energy picks up with some great club-adjacent sounds. Catch Cavolo Nero at Kulturhaus Insel for an infectious mix of funk and disco that is perfect for a mid-week dance. Alternatively, check out Valentino Vivace at Modus or head to Schokoladen for an intimate show with Adult DVD.

Thursday, April 16th

Thursday is all about networking and intimate performances. Food entrepreneurs should head to Kitchentalks at Royals & Rice for an easygoing industry chat. If music is your priority, Luca Fogale at Privatclub and Tyler Hilton at Prinzenbar offer great options for a cozy night out.

Friday, April 17th

Start your weekend with a bang. Leigh-Anne hits the stage at Metropol for a high-energy hip-hop set, while SCHALL Series#1 at Kukumu provides a more atmospheric, ambient experience. For those who love the goth and post-punk aesthetic, the triple bill at Urban Spree is a must-see.

Saturday, April 18th

Make your Saturday special with the Candlelight concert at Meistersaal, which is an easy win for an impressive date night. Later, head to Rough Trade for an intimate in-store set, or immerse yourself in the strange and beautiful world of Nocturne at Ballhaus, a circus-style cabaret show that feels perfectly Berlin.

Sunday, April 19th

Wrap up your week with some sophisticated sounds. Mark William Lewis brings his unique, poetic songwriting to Bi Nuu, or you can head to Arkaoda for the hypnotic, minimalist sounds of Bitchin Bajas to recharge for the week ahead.
