Berlin’s status as a major political and cultural capital city means there are plenty of big name concerts to see, all year round. If your visit happens to coincide with one of your favourite acts, it would be rude not to see them wouldn’t it?
There’s a wide choice here, including a bunch of re-formed groups and acts you’d have thought had given up years ago. Links are directly to the eventim.de website where you can buy tickets.
