Bringing People Together & Creating the World We Want to Dance In
A queer-feminist double anniversary with panel, live concerts and DJs — headlined by the iconic MERCENÁRIAS (live, São Paulo). What started in 2011 as a DIY truck at the Transgenialer CSD in Kreuzberg grew into one of Berlin's most distinctive queer-feminist cultural initiatives. Since 2016, the collective has regularly organized club nights and interdisciplinary cultural events. Long before terms like diversity, intersectionality or decolonization shaped the cultural-political debate, ¡MASH-UP! consistently centered FLINTA*, BIPoC and migrant artists from the Global South in its events. Now the collective celebrates its biggest party yet — a night of punk, post-punk, electronic music and queer energy that will move Berlin.

At the heart of the night: MERCENÁRIAS, the iconic post-punk band from São Paulo, live on stage. One of the defining voices of Brazilian punk since 1982, named by Rolling Stone Brasil as one of the country's five most important punk albums, celebrated on international compilations alongside the genre's biggest names. In 2026, their landmark album “Cadê as Armas?” turns 40 — and the band brings it, plus highlights from 44 years of history, for one of their rare German shows, right here at SO36, on a trip made possible with the support of the Goethe-Institut.
Around them, a lineup full of energy: Oyèmi Noize & The Sad Girls (punk, indie, Berlin) and Alice Dee (rap, grime, trap, Berlin) live on stage. On the decks, our residents Marie Leão (indie, post-punk, queer electro pop), House of Grace (acid, Chicago house, garage, Latin house) and Nara (tropical bass), plus DJ Gin from London (Jersey club, experimental Afrobeat, house) and Putas Vampiras (dark-techno live PA), who as founder of the legendary Vampire Haus raves brings thousands of people onto the streets of São Paulo. Also flashmob performances by True Colors Frauenchor Berlin and Urso Ki Ti Schubsen — the Brazilian carnival brass band that brings Brazilian street carnival right into the crowd —, a voguing show, visuals by VJ FroZen and pop-up haircuts by Butch Cut.
Beforehand, from 7:30pm: the panel ¡MASH-IT-UP! WE WERE ALWAYS THERE! Before and Beyond Riot Grrrl: BIPoC and FLINTA* Perspectives on 50 Years of Punk and Its Legacy in Today's Queer-Feminist Cultural Scene in Berlin and São Paulo, with Mercenárias and further guests — the perfect start to the night.
Ten years of community, international connections and queer-feminist club culture, all in one night — get your ticket now and celebrate with us from the very beginning!

Mobility restrictions for visitors:
The main entrance has three steps. Wheelchair users can be admitted via the side entrance. Thresholds there are less than 1cm and can also be easily overcome by heavy electric wheelchairs. This entrance has to be unlocked during events, which our colleagues at the door are happy to do. We ask for a little patience if the situation is not right, but you will usually be given preferential treatment. In the SO36 itself there are almost no barriers, apart from two small thresholds on the fire doors, also under 1 cm.

There is a wheelchair-accessible toilet with an EUROSCHLÜSSEL , the key is available at the counter or at the cash register/door.
Accompanying persons have free entry.
If you are going to a concert, you can also request a platform with a ramp. If it's somehow feasible, we'll set it up in a spot with a good view. Please let the office know about a week in advance (by phone on 030/61401306 or by email to post@so36.de).
