On four summer weekends, DURCHLÜFTEN transforms the Humboldt Forum’s Schlüterhof into a free open-air meeting place where musical traditions from across the globe unfold as living cultural archives.
5 years open. Already 5 years DURCHLÜFTEN. For the sixth time now, DURCHLÜFTEN transforms the Schlüterhof courtyard of Berlin’s Humboldt Forum into a vibrant open-air stage for global music, cultural dialogue, and shared experience. From 9 July to 1 August 2026, across four summer weekends, the festival presents 24 live acts and 12 DJs from around the world. Each evening features two concerts followed by a DJ set, creating twelve nights of musical discovery, movement, and encounter in the heart of Berlin — once again with free entry for all.
Ben Olayinka is a runner, community organiser and DJ and lover of creating a great mood wherever he goes! He is affectionately known as “the minister of enjoyment” bringing
afrobeat to the world while bringing people together through sport, music and community like the collective In Living Color, a dynamic collective of black and brown DJs in Berlin, or his running group Run & Rave. His performances as a resident at Durchlüften festival are legendary and we are happy to welcome him back on stage again in 2026.
