Welcome to the Krake Festival 2027 in Berlin
Krake Festival is Berlin’s independent festival for challenging electronic music and is expected to return in 2027 across changing locations in the city. Organised by the Killekill crew, it stands for experimental, industrial and dark techno sounds without commercial compromise. Typically spread over several days, it connects clubs, performances and inclusive formats into a true underground experience.

Program & Schedule: What to Expect in 2027
Exact programme and dates for 2027 have not yet been announced. Historically the festival usually takes place in June and often opens with a special night (e.g. at Berghain) followed by an intensive weekender at another club. Expect a curated line-up of live acts, back-to-back sets and experimental performances ranging from industrial and dark techno to electro-punk and no-wave elements. Like the arms of an octopus (Krake), the festival spreads across the city and values surprises and attitude over big headliners.
