Berlin Atonal 2025

In the iconic Kraftwerk Berlin, a monumental setting for audiovisual experiences, Atonal brings together international artists, innovative installations and large-scale performances.

With over 100 acts, numerous world premieres and cross-genre collaborations, the festival sets new standards.


Highlights of the 2025 programme:

• World premiere of a trio with Merzbow, Iggor Cavalera and Eraldo Bernocchi
  
• GRIEND – industrial noir project by Puce Mary & Rainy Miller
  
• Audiovisual ritual by emptyset & MFO
  
• Live collab by Lee Ranaldo, Peder Mannerfelt & Yonatan Gat
  
• New A/V work Home by Ziúr & Sandi, with Martina Bertoni and Sara Persico
  

With its new format Third Surface, Atonal is also opening up an experimental space for decelerated exchange – inspired by historical salons. In a curated setting, music, visual arts and discourse intertwine in new ways. A special art programme will be announced shortly.

Berlin Atonal 2025 reflects the social and political tensions of a changing city. The festival sees itself as a platform for cultural resistance, artistic innovation and the strengthening of Berlin's underground scene.

About Berlin Atonal

Since its founding in 1982 and its revival in 2013, Berlin Atonal has established itself as one of Europe's most influential platforms for experimental music, sound art and interdisciplinary performance.

With a strong focus on current developments in electronic music, sound art and hybrid art forms, the biennial festival presents large-scale commissioned works, unique collaborations, site-specific installations and ephemeral artistic encounters.

Berlin Atonal represents an open, undefined format: a dense sequence of artistic situations that defy conventional grids.
