  • All performances are free and run mostly from mid-afternoon into the evening, with some venues continuing indoor shows after the 22:00 outdoor curfew.
  • The program mixes a wide range of styles from blues, hip‑hop and heavy metal to classical and jazz, and features acts from youth bands up to members of the Berlin Philharmonic.
