Berlin Gig Guide - March 2026
Hi everyone, hope last month’s guide helped you find some shows. If not, try again this month - here’s another listing of worthwhile gigs in Berlin. As always, they’re ordered roughly by price/venue size.
This month’s newsletter was made harder to compile due to the closing of the ticket vendor and Kreuzberg institution Koka36. This has already had a knock-on impact on the many independent venues it supported - SO36, in particular, is now facing significant financial losses. Donations towards SO36 can be made here.
This only makes it more important to support local venues and artists - hopefully, you find something you like in this listing.
