The free open-air series “Berlin Beats” has been running in the garden of the Hamburger Bahnhof since June 13. Until August 28, you can party to the sounds of talented DJs on a total of twelve electrifying evenings – completely free of charge. Electronic sounds meet the artfully inspired backdrop of the Nationalgalerie der Gegenwart – a highlight that combines the fascination of music and art and is accessible to all. With techno as a unifying element, unforgettable nights are created and perhaps the best is yet to come: on Thursday, Berlin techno legend Ellen Allien takes over the DJ booth and delivers a techno set of the finest quality.
