What we stand for
Revolution Music Berlin collects concerts and parties in Berlin – punk, jazz, hip-hop, metal, techno, every genre. What connects us is one conviction: music is for everyone. We stand for freedom, diversity and respect: everyone should be able to enjoy music, no matter where they come from, what they believe, whom they love or what they look like.
How the list comes together
- Places with a stance: clubs, bars and housing projects that look out themselves for who plays there. Their events show up automatically.
- Looked at with care: for other places, a concert shows up once we have looked at at least one of the bands – their lyrics, interviews, labels and who they share the stage with.
The genre tags are found automatically and are only a hint.
Where we draw the line
We do not list events with artists who spread hatred against people or deny others their dignity – not even as a support act.
We never make such decisions alone, but always two of us and based on sources. We do not publish lists and do not judge anyone in public.
If a concert is missing, that says nothing about the band or the place. We simply do not see everything that happens in Berlin.

Where the data comes from
Straight from the venues’ websites and from the calendar radar.squat.net, where Stressfaktor publishes its dates too. All details without guarantee – check details and tickets with the venue. Venue locations for “Near me” come from OpenStreetMap (© OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL). Some genre badges are based on tags from MusicBrainz (CC BY-NC-SA 3.0).
