Ctm 2026: Berghain 3

From 23.1 to 1.2. CTM Festival’s 2026 edition brings together a multitude of voices echoing our cacophonous and interwoven realities for three nights at Berghain and many more events at further Berlin venues. Opening the main Berghain floor, ABOPF moves through bass intensity, ambient drift, and fractured IDM, shifting freely across styles. Driving harsh guitars, circuit pulses, and raw vocals against internal / external tyranny, Pain Magazine (Birds in Row х Maelstrom х Louisahhh) perform in support of their album Violent God. Finlay Shakespeare uses modular electronics, brute rhythms, and urgent vocals, with pop structure pulsing behind the noise. King Yosef shapes industrialised hardcore with heavy pressure, sharp textures, dark contrasts, and distortion. Supporting their new EP Yours, With Malice, Youth Code deliver EBM where hardcore, metal, and industrial collide. Mamba Negra affiliate White Prata blends hardcore, gabber, acid dub, and hard baile into high-energy forms where techno breaks down and breakcore shatters. A crackling b2b with Marylou and Fukinsei will move through dub, footwork, jungle, and hard rave. In Panorama Bar, Guedra Guedra mixes African field recordings, percussion, ancient instruments, and electronic pulses featured in his recent album Mutant. Appearing with longtime collaborator UTILITY, Vv Pete raps with shifting energies over Brodinski’s gqom, drill, and baile funk productions, moving between celebration and harder tones. Valesuchi shapes techno with experimental electronics and percussive traditions from Latin America, presenting her new album and live set. In Säule, DJ Love brings his Philippines-born genre budots to Berlin with heavy bass, synthetic beats, horns, sirens, and whistles at 140 BPM. More acts will be announced soon for all three floors. Reduced event tickets are available in limited quantities at most venues for people who are unemployed, receiving social welfare, for holders of a severely disabled persons card, and for recipients under the asylum seekers benefits act. Students do not de facto qualify for this discount, which is generally aimed at giving access to cultural events and other services to people receiving social assistance. Door staff might request the presentation of relevant identification with your presale ticket when entering the venue.
