For two days the former airport field of Flughafen Tempelhof changes into a giant dance floor. This middle-in-the-city festival has become very popular over the years and among the Melt-Festival, has proven that this concept works.


This will be one of Atari Teenage Riot few concerts in Germany this year and Boys Noise Records has its own stage for their own signed artists and some chosen ones, such as D.I.M Strip Steve, Housemeister and Peaches will give all they got ´n more. For more pop like fans Tahiti 80 and The morning Benders will perform. Even the Never die Rockers of Gang of Four are invited…. So there will be something for all at the Berlin Festival.

The location is very special. The airport building surrounding parts of the area is one of the world’s biggest buildings and offers protection and atmosphere that is so Berlin like. This one you can’t camp on so that means you all need a place to sleep at and that you can find in our lovely U inn Berlin Hostel. Located in Friedrichshain and close to the S-Bahn station Frankfurter Allee it is easy to go between the Berlin Festival and hostel with the highly sophisticated Berlin public transport system. Friedrichshain and Kreuzberg offers lots of coffee bars and shops for you to enjoy whilst not on the festival area.

Berlin’s Top 5+1 Beach Bars for the Summer  0

Cat.: Party, Staff
18. Juli 2010

 

Goin` for the beach in Berlin? Oh yes! The Spree river that curls through the city is about 46 kilometers long. Enough space for a vaste variety of beaches and beach bars. Which of those spots is the best, coolest or most relaxing place? – You´ll have to define for yourself. Here is our 5+1 list of recommendations for Berlin beach action. (The „Club der Visionäre“ ['club of visionaries'] is not a real beach bar, yet it has to be on the list, as it is one of Berlin´s finest chill-out locations.)


Club der Visionäre



The „Club der Visionäre“ is no beach bar as such. The sand is replaced by wooden planks, which makes the bar partly floating on the water. Sitting with dangled legs in the cool water, sipping on your drink while trees all around the club provide you with shade. This is the perfect place to relax. On the weekends the CdV turns into a floating party with cool techno beats by well known DJ’s of the scene.

Address: Am Flutgraben/LohmĂĽhlen Insel


Kiki Blofeld


 

The ‘Kiki Blofeld’ you´ll find right opposite of the Bar25 at the river Spree. The place is cozy and relaxed with more green and less sand around. On the premises is also an old (sea-) bunker from the times of GDR border-police. Nowadays this is where the music plays after nightfall. There is also pool and table tennis and for the culinary well-being you can order pizza or grilled sausages. By the way: Kiki Blofeld is the daughter of Ernest Stavros Blofeld the villain from the early James Bond movies. Kiki wanted to redeem her name and so she gave us this compound of nearly1 hectar.

Address: Köpenickerstr. 48


Yaam


 

The Yaam has earned itself quite a reputation over the years as „Berlin`s finest place in reaggae culture” and most Berliners know it of course. Here one can hang out and relax to reaggae vibes. On the premises you´ll find fields for basketball, a halfpipe and the obligatory table tennis. At night the beach bar is magically transormed into a hot club where one can dance and party till dawn.

Address: Stralauer Platz 35


Bar 25


 

You´re jus´ looking for a break, silence and relaxation? You jus´ wanna hang out in the sun with your feet in the ice-cool water, while nothing bothers you? Then definitely avoid Bar 25! as this is the location for afterhours in Berlin. Though it´s not really clear, when the afterhour starts or ends, but most certainly you can dance and party on even on a monday night.

Address: Holzmarkt 25


Badeschiff


 

Berlin’s swimming pool in the river Spree. Here you can drop by – to see and be seen. Students reading books, DJ’s spinning the records and Checker checking. Paddling lonely is not a townie’s thing, so do not be surprised if it gets tight. Sitting lonely at the lake is quite a back number.

Address: Eichenstrasse 4


Oststrand



The ‘east beach’ is situated in the former border strip of the berlin wall, right behind legendary east-side-gallery, just next to the O2-World arena. Since going to see the east-side-gallery is on top of most visitor´s checklist, attending ‘Oststrand’ is definetely worth the small detour. Just give yourself the time to hang out for a cool beer or a fruity cocktail. They also make fresh pizza! In july the 8th Völkerball – worldchampionship will take place here.

PingPong City Berlin  0

Cat.: Berlin, Kultur, Party
06. August 2009

Whats the favorite sport of the Berliners? Its PingPong or in Berlin we call it “Tischtennis”. You find people, playing PingPong everywhere. Mostly every Park have minimum 2 PingPong tables. And its quite difficult to find a free one. In the summertime you see them playing everywhere. It doesn’t  matter how old you are, you are always welcome to join for a game. But keep in mind… these guys are profis. Especially the old harmless looking grandpa’s :-) But PingPong is not only something what you can do outside in the park, even in some Berlin Clubs it is possible to play PingPong.  At the Rosis Club every weekend 20 – 40 drunken people running around the table and playing “chinesisch” it’s the crazyest thing you ever can do. They have PingPong bat’s for rent. Also you should check out Dr.Pong, a PingPong Lounge where you can have a cold beer, listen to nice Dj Music and watch others play PingPong. The next PingPong table is on Traveplatz,  just 2 minutes from the U inn Berlin Hostel. So if you come to Berlin don’t forget your PingPong bat.

The Berlin Festival – Tempelhof airport  0

Cat.: Party, U inn Berlin Hostel
03. Juli 2009

The Berlin Festival which will take place on the former central airport Tempelhof is taking shape and has a firm edge. The festival takes place on the 7 and 8th of August.

There is always something lately to see in or at Tempelhof airport, whether it is an air bridge anniversary, a fashion fair, a firework show, bird watching or an attempted airfield occupation. But a music festival never took place there! Bands and artists like Peter Doherty, WhoMadeWho, Jarvis Cocker, Dendemann, Peaches (DJ Set) and her revelling fans will definitely ensure much better and amazing photos photos from Berlin-Tempelhof.

Have a good one,

“Vielfalt ist ein Wort, aber anlässlich der FĂŞte de la Musique ist Vielfalt
auch Klang, der zehntausende Berlinerinnen und Berliner fasziniert…“

In seinem GruĂźwort hebt der Regierende BĂĽrgermeister, Kultursenator und Bundesbeauftragte fĂĽr deutschfranzösische Kulturbeziehungen Klaus Wowereit vor allem die verbindende Qualität der Musik hervor, die Menschen in hunderten Städten weltweit am 21. Juni vereint, um nicht nur zeitgleich, sondern auch nach den selben grundlegenden Ideen den Sommeranfang am längsten Tag des Jahres zu begrĂĽĂźen. Die FĂŞte de la Musique ist das internationale Fest der Musik, es ist live, es ist offen fĂĽr alle Stilrichtungen und Musiker, es kostet keinen Eintritt, da alle Musiker auf ihre Gage verzichten und es findet (ĂĽberwiegend) unter freiem Himmel statt. Berlin ist zum 15. Mal dabei und bietet in diesem Jubiläumsjahr eine in Deutschland bislang unerreicht groĂźe Zahl von Musizierenden und BĂĽhnen. Jetzt steht das Programm fĂĽr Sonntag, den 21.6.2009 fest,  ab sofort einzusehen unter www.fetedelamusique.de.  Ab 16 Uhr tummelt sich Berlins vielfältige und bunte Musikszene auf 76 open air BĂĽhnen in fast allen Stadtbezirken sowie ab 22 Uhr indoor auf 6 „FĂŞte de la Nuit“-BĂĽhnen. Hinzu kommen StraĂźenmusikanten, die Dank Ausnahmegenehmigung auf allen öffentlichen StraĂźen und Plätzen von 16 bis 22 Uhr akustisch musizieren dĂĽrfen. Von Klassik bis Jazz,  Rock und Pop, Reggae oder Ska, Chormusik, HipHop, Weltmusik, Punk oder Folklore – es ist wirklich fĂĽr jeden Geschmack etwas dabei.

Vom U inn Berlin Hostel in 5 Minuten zu Fuss zu erreichen, befinden sich mehrere BĂĽhnen:

Im Cassiopeia findet auch ab 22 Uhr die Fete de la Nuite statt. NatĂĽrlich mit freien Eintritt!!

27. Mai 2009

This August Tempelhof Airport will play host to the coolest two-day open-air party in Berlin. The Berlin Festival began in 2005. Past acts have included Ian Brown, Datarock, and Echo and the Bunnymen. In 2007 the festival took over Poststadion, but this year it has actually managed to go one bigger and better by securing the recently shuttered Tempelhof as its location.

Bespectacled Britpop icon Jarvis Cocker, ex-Pulp frontman, singer, songwriter, activist, director and actor will be headlining this year. The rest of the line up includes Deichkind, Saint Etienne, Dendemann, The Thermals, WhoMadeWho, Florence & The Machine, Kilians, Bodi Bill, Oneida, Bonaparte, Errors, Health, Riton, Berlin Battery ft. Shir Khan, DJ Supermarkt, Jack Tennis…

This will be Berlin’s first chance to hear the new album by These New Puritans. Other exciting treats include a very special duo in the form of house legend Frankie Knuckles and his successor – Andy Butler from Hercules and Love Affair, who will be laying down a three-hour long
disco-feast.
