It’s probably not going to be too much of a surprise for you which artist I will name my absolute highlight of the upcoming Berlin Festival that will take place this coming Friday and Saturday at the former Tempelhof Airport. It’s Björk. If you haven’t seen this woman live, I strongly advise you to get your tickets. She is a phenomenon and a force of nature. I’ve seen two shows of her and they both were spectacular. Forget Gaga, Miley and Madonna. This is truely art and an event not to be missed. And it’s so rare also, you really shouldn’t miss it!

Of course a lot of you will also be looking forward to see the other two main acts Pet Shop Boys and Blur. I won’t be able to see them but it’s surely going to be a smash. I’m also excited to see Ellie Goulding live, missed her concerst recently and I think she is a doll. Also on my list: My Bloody Valentive, Delphic, who are also really amazing live, Pantha du Prince, and Matias Aguayo. On the night program at Club X-Berg I’m looking forward to DJ sets by Röyksopp, who I haven’t seen for way too long, and Justice and an extra special “Disko Chinesisch” DJ battle with many local DJs organized by our fellow bloggers from Mit Vergnügen. Fun! Get into the mood with some music after the jump! Read on…
