GASWERK MUSIC DAYS 2026

GASWERK MUSIC DAYS 2026

Gaswerk Music Days returns in the summer of 2026 for its fourth edition, continuing its dynamic growth as a community-rooted festival dedicated to Radical Live Music.
Spanning two consecutive weekends (July 24–August 2), the festival invites audiences to six eventful days filled with a diverse program of live concerts and other special formats.

Organized by Gaswerksiedlung Berlin, the festival takes place across the open-air gART.n, the BLOCK1 concert venue, and the surrounding creative studios—spaces that are not merely neutral venues, but active participants in the music-making process.

As a festival created by musicians for music lovers, open minds, and curious ears, the event brings together experimental electronics, African sounds, dub, avant-pop, kraut, improvisation, jazz, and dance music under its “Radical Live Music” banner, blending and crossing genres in a program featuring over 30 acts on two stages.

In connection with the festival, we also organize the Spring and Fall Gaswerk Music Concert series and other initiatives, expanding the movement into new formats and locations across Berlin.

Guided by curiosity and supported by a growing audience, we celebrate those who take risks and push boundaries, creating spaces for exchange, fostering diversity, and offering a proud alternative to a mainstream-dominated music ecosystem.
