GASWERK MUSIC DAYS 2026 - ROOTSONIC
ROOTSONIC, co-curated by Romain Azzaro and Dylan Greene, traces connections between roots and reinvention, bringing together artists whose work moves fluidly between tradition, contemporary expression and soundsystem culture. Across the day, desert blues, African dance music, MC-driven performance and newly developed residency material intersect in unexpected ways.

Voices take centre stage: sung, spoken, chanted and amplified. From the desert winds of Tissilawen to the expansive selections of Kampire, the program unfolds as a dialogue between place, memory and movement. Residency artists Mc Yallah & Scotch Rolex and Ecko Bazz present material developed during their time at Gaswerk, while these individual projects continuously spill into new collaborations and configurations through the Radical Music Lab. Together with fellow residency participants, they transform the day into a shared space of exchange, experimentation and collective creation.

Grounded in roots yet always reaching forward, ROOTSONIC explores how stories, rhythms and ideas travel across scenes, geographies and generations.

GASWERK MUSIC DAYS
Gaswerk Music Days returns in summer 2026 for its fourth edition, continuing its dynamic growth as a community-rooted festival dedicated to Radical Live Music.
Across 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.

Organised by Gaswerksiedlung Berlin, the festival unfolds across the open-air gART.n, the concert venue BLOCK1, and the surrounding creative studios - spaces that are not neutral containers, but active participants in the music-making process.

As a festival made by musicians for music lovers, open minds and curious ears, the event unites experimental electronics, African sounds, dub, avant-pop, kraut, improvisation, jazz, and dance music under its "Radical Live Music" flag, binding and crossing genres in a program with over 30 acts on 2 stages.

In connection with the festival, we also organise the Spring and Autumn 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.
