The XJazz Festival is back with its Weekender, bringing four days of great music to the capital.
The festival takes place at several venues across Kreuzberg and features concerts, DJ sets, dance performances, and community events. Musically, it showcases the signature XJazz mix of electronica, jazz, hip-hop, R&B, soul, and other genres.
Thursday’s opening night at Emmauskirche will be all about atmospheric soundscapes featuring Kit Downes and Delphine Joussein. On Friday, Refuge Worldwide takes over the Festsaal Kreuzberg with a mix of DJ sets and live acts such as Sera Kalo eX.II and Sorvina. Saturday brings together club energy and jazz: Alongside Charlotte Colace, the Moses Yoofee Trio will perform at the Festsaal Kreuzberg. The fun continues with an afterparty at the Marmor Bar. The festival wraps up on Sunday with the closing event at the Sonnenraum.
