The big day is slowly getting closer and Berlin Festival 2007 is gradually taking shape. You`ve probably marked July 27th and 28th with a big cross on your calendar, now you just have to buy your festival ticket and the summer can arrive. The early bird catches the worm!
Our great BERLIN FESTIVAL Location at Poststadion right in the centre of Berlin-Mitte near Hauptbahnhof (Main central train station) is now a lush green and pictures can be viewed at:

Admission to the After Festival Stage is of course included in your festival ticket, where the party will again kick off in style. Put ya hands up for Berlin..! On both days the After Festival Stage is located in the nearby TAPE club. TAPE is only open since the beginning of 2007 and, like almost everything at the BERLIN FESTIVAL, it is the brand new, hot shit. Rocking over two to three floors, the Berlin bear will dance until dawn. Knut is in da house! The line-up is a killer with 2Many Djs, DJ Mehdi, Karrera Klub, Berlin Allstars and many more. We will keep you updated.

Our line-up is now almost complete and has been extended in recent weeks and days by the great bands Tele, Late Of The Pier, Jape (his single was already covered by the Raconteurs) and Jolly Goods (produced by the producer of the Strokes).
Tele compose catchy tunes with ingenious lyrics which get stuck in heads and make bodies dance. Whether topping the bill in packed clubs, where they always manage to break down the barrier between band and public with charming commentary; whether at festivals; or as support to Phoenix or Wir Sind Helden; the band shows how essential and enjoyable the live interpretation of their organically grown pop songs is every time. TV for the ears!
Jape’s music appears as a breeze of fresh air from Dublin. With his sense of humour, experimental stoner folk, and 8bit electronics, he has already convinced the V2 record label to sign him and the Raconteurs to cover his song ‘Floating’. We are already fans of course …
Two new bands are confirmed for the Vice Stage. One is the British Late Of The Pier, winning over members of the public who usually puke at such music with their glamorous wave pop. New Kids on the Block for the new rave generation.
Then there is also Jolly Goods, two shockingly young girls from a pocket of Bavaria who nobody has ever heard of. You know how it is – rock’n’roll is the most reliable rescue from suburban hell. This type of confident garage noise has never been made by German girls before. Or by German boys actually.
