In our words:
With raw noise, intense live sets and a real DIY spirit, the 8MM Fest brings a breath of fresh air to the Berlin festival landscape. Two days, seven stages, acts such as A Place to Bury Strangers, Divide and Dissolve or ZAHN - this is where international avant-garde meets local scene greats. Instead of commerce there's collective, instead of mainstream there's real attitude. A festival that not only celebrates Berlin's underground aesthetics, but also thinks ahead.
In the organizer's words:
8MM Fest celebrates the Berlin underground with A Place to Bury Strangers, Divide and Dissolve, YHWH Nailgun, Zahn and Test Plan
A new chapter for Berlin's underground: following the discontinuation of the renowned Synästhesie Festival, the 8MM Bar team is launching a new, collective concept with the 8MM Fest. Two days, seven stages, local newcomers alongside international stars - a festival that focuses on networking, diversity and strengthening the music community.
With acts such as A Place to Bury Strangers (NYC, noise rock legends), Divide and Dissolve (AUS, politically charged doom/drone), YHWH Nailgun (experimental NYC post-punk) and Ceremony East Coast (lo-fi noise from Brooklyn), ZAHN (Berlin, kraut/post-punk) and Test Plan (London, dance-punk noise rock), the line-up remains true to the underground aesthetic: raw, intense, uncomfortably beautiful.
The 8MM Fest stands for cooperation instead of commerce, DIY spirit and a stage for what moves the Berlin scene. Partnerships with the New Colossus Festival and SXSW underline the aim of opening up international perspectives for local artists.
From the 8MM Bar to the ACUD to the Zionskirche and on to the Kesselhaus - the 8MM Fest is not just a continuation - it's a new beginning with attitude. For the scene. For the music. For Berlin.
