A festival like
a lucky bag: Down by the River has
once again put out its tentacles. With its tireless exploratory
spirit, it has
searched the depths of the Berlin live cosmos and scoured the corners
of the internet.



The "Festival for Unheard and Off-Kilter Sounds" will present its musical finds on July 6, 2025, at its 14th edition, yet again in the idyllic, anarchic garden setting of ://about blank in Friedrichshain. 


The program whirls through genres and the regional underground, roams across the planet, and even ventures into outer space. Who's coming?


Line-up: Culture Crush (dystopian disco), fastmusic (minimal pop), Kaskadeur (heavy prog), Lail & Lomar (future jazz), Rita Braga (cosmo pop), Robert Kretzschmar (tender groove), Sedlmeir (hard schlager), Vandalisbin (queer soul), Vasylysa (emo folk), YodelRoar (drones‘n‘yodels)


Moderation, installation & performance: Selbstgebaute Musik
