Free street music festival

The new festival format "First We Take The Streets" is set to take place at the o2 World Spree Bar for the very first time as part of the Berlin Music Week.

On September 4 and 5, between Berlin Music Week’s conference and festival centre, the Postbahnhof, and East Side Gallery, everything will turn around musicians living in Berlin, street musicians and sound artists. Between 3pm and 9pm, large mats will lay ready on the streets to be used for concerts in lieu of traditional stages. All are welcome, from beatboxers to singer-songwriters, including electronic loop artists.

The o2 World Spree Bar is the pivotal point of the new festival. The main stage of First We Take The Streets is situated here and, along with good music, it offers late-summer refreshment for music fans, music professionals and tourists. As curators for the main stage of First We Take The Streets, the Mighty Oaks, who started out as street musicians in the capital and are now being talked about internationally, are local heroes and a real coup for the festival. 

All performing artists, venues and show times will be publicized in mid-August. Entry to First We Take The Streets, including the o2 World Spree Bar, is free of charge for all visitors.
