Berlin Festival returns to Tempelhof Airport on the 9th and 10th of September.

Having called off last year's event in the wake of the Love Parade disaster, which happened just a few weeks prior, the Berlin Festival has resurfaced with expanded efforts in 2011 with the additional Club Xberg program at Arena. On the Friday, the club leg will host a trio of local label showcases, including one by the electro-pop imprint Greco-Roman. Here is also where the bulk of the festival's DJs will perform, including the likes of A-Trak, DJ Hell, Diplo, Brodinski, Mr. Oizo and Jimmy Edgar.

Over the two days Tempelhof will mostly host bands with an electronic edge, such as Battles, Apparat (with his band), Hercules & Love Affair, The Rapture. Mount Kimbie lend their pensive bass to Friday's bill along with James Blake, whose melodic bass-inspired pop has managed to breach both underground and popular music circles. On Saturday, Berlin-based Boys Noize, Dial Records artist Pantha Du Prince and African kuduro-tech outfit Buraka Som Sistema break up the otherwise indie and pop-heavy affair.

The Tempelhof program will run from noon until midnight over both days, with Arena opening at 11:00 PM and carrying things on until morning.

Mon, 19 Sep 2011Sounds better than last year's. Awful last year. Although Boys Noize mid-afternoon set was a sight to behold, lifting the mood in spite of the mass cancellations and curfews.

Sun, 04 Sep 2011ehh... well, I got a discounted ticket at the berlin music week website, but I didn't know all this stuff happened last year.

hotel and flight are already booked so I guess just gotta hope for the best. I'm curious to see how they use the Tempelhof airport for an event of this scale.

does anybody know if it was the same last year with multiple venues? Seems pretty reasonable to see big acts and bands at Tempelhof and finish the night at Arena.

Sun, 04 Sep 2011The bonus event was on a Tuesday night in December, unfair for many international visitors.

They also charged 30 euros for the event for those without the original ticket, another excuse to make more money.

Make no mistake, Berlin Festival is truly a festival for pure profit, they do not care at all about the music or it's fans.

The police shut down the even at midnight of the first day due to an 'overcrowding'.
I was there and i can tell there was enough space.

The line up was shrinked to a minimum for the rest of the weekend. And customers should come to an bonus event for compensation. The organisators behaved like: 'You have to thank us for not being injured at our event.'
