Atonal Berlin 2027: Experimental Festival at Kraftwerk

Welcome to Atonal Berlin 2027

In August 2027, Atonal returns to its home inside a massive former power plant on the edge of Mitte and Kreuzberg in Berlin. Held every two years, Atonal is dedicated to experimental music, sound art and interdisciplinary performance, and has been one of Europe's most distinctive platforms for boundary pushing artistic work since its relaunch in 2013.

Highlights and Attractions at Atonal Berlin

• Large scale commissioned works and world premieres spanning electronic music, sound art and visual art
• The striking post industrial architecture of Kraftwerk as a stage for ambitious, spatially expansive productions
• Installations and site specific works shown alongside the main concert evenings
• A program that deliberately sits between festival and exhibition, resisting a single fixed format
• Late night club programs and afterparties that extend the main evenings
• An international roster of artists working across techno, sound art and experimental music
• Membership in the International Biennial Association, reflecting the festival's international standing

Program and Schedule: What to Expect in 2027

Atonal traditionally spreads its program across several days and nights, with main evenings staged in Kraftwerk's vast machine hall alongside accompanying exhibition spaces. Exact dates, day tickets and the full line up for the 2027 edition have not yet been announced; organizers usually confirm these details a few months ahead of the festival.

Tickets and Admission for Atonal Berlin

Ticket prices for the 2027 edition have not yet been confirmed. At the most recent regular edition in 2025, a full festival pass cost around 260 euros plus fees, while individual evening tickets were released separately and often close to the event. Festival passes tend to be released first and in limited numbers once presale for 2027 opens.

Visitor Tips: Travel and Accommodation in Berlin

• Kraftwerk sits centrally between Mitte and Kreuzberg and is easy to reach by Berlin's U Bahn and S Bahn
• Given the central location, public transport is far more convenient than driving
• Since festival passes tend to sell out quickly, signing up for the festival newsletter early is worthwhile
• The venue is a former power plant with cool, exposed concrete interiors, so warm clothing is a good idea even in summer
• Mitte and Kreuzberg offer plenty of accommodation within walking distance of the venue
