What is Pop-Kultur Berlin?
Pop-Kultur is a city wide festival organized by Musicboard Berlin that brings together concerts, talks and DJ sets centered on contemporary pop music. Grown out of the former Berlin Music Week, the festival traditionally takes place in late summer, with the Kulturbrauerei in Prenzlauer Berg remaining the heart of the live program.
When does Pop-Kultur Berlin 2027 take place?
The exact date for 2027 has not been announced yet, though early bird tickets are already available. Talks and industry formats traditionally open the week, while Friday and Saturday bring the densest live program at the Kulturbrauerei.
Where does Pop-Kultur Berlin take place? (Venues)
Pop Kultur traditionally spreads across several Berlin districts. It usually opens at the silent green Kulturquartier in Wedding, a former crematorium now used as a cultural venue. Over the weekend the festival moves to the Kulturbrauerei in Prenzlauer Berg, with additional programming at venues such as Festsaal Kreuzberg, Berliner Ensemble and the Pierre Boulez Saal in Mitte.
Who is playing at Pop-Kultur Festival 2027? (Program and lineup)
The 2027 lineup will be announced later in the year. The program traditionally covers around 120 items: live concerts, DJ sets, talks, panels and the "Pop Kultur Nachwuchs" program, which brings young musicians from around the world to Berlin for a week of workshops and performances.
