Durchlüften 2026. Festival at the Humboldt Forum

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.
From electrified Mauritanian desert blues to Andean Indigenous futurism, Kurdish acid ritual to Afro-Colombian bass cosmologies, Tanzanian polyphony to Anatolian-Nordic electronica—the courtyard becomes a meeting point of living cultures. Artists carry traditions such as living archives, weaving ancestral instruments, languages, and storytelling into contemporary forms, diasporic exchange, and global club culture. Collaborations with independent labels like Argentina’s ZZK Records and Karachi-based honiunhoni further expand these cross-continental sonic dialogues.
Since its inception, DURCHLÜFTEN has stood for cultural dialogue beyond museum walls. What begins inside the galleries — in exhibitions, collections, and interdisciplinary exchange — flows outward into lived experience. The courtyard becomes a commons: a space of participation, hospitality, and collective presence.
DURCHLÜFTEN remains free and open to all. Please be prepared for queuing moderately.
DURCHLÜFTEN welcomes everyone: the music and art lover, the crate digger, the museum visitor who lingers after sunset, the raver, the neighbor passing by, and the grandmother visiting with her family. Here, we gather not only to listen, but to experience cultures in motion.
