Three Days of Nashville in the Heart of Berlin
C2C - Country to Country is the country festival phenomenon of recent years: launched in London in 2013, it is now the most important showcase for the American country scene on European soil. Since 2024, Berlin has been a permanent fixture in the international C2C circuit alongside London, Glasgow, and Amsterdam. The venue is the Uber Eats Music Hall at Mercedes-Platz in the Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg district: the multi-purpose arena, opened in 2018, can accommodate up to 4,350 guests depending on seating and is part of the Mercedes-Platz quarter surrounding the larger Uber Arena.
What Makes C2C Special
Unlike a classic concert, C2C is a festival with multiple stages that complement each other spatially: Mainstage in the Music Hall, Holler Stage, and other side stages around Mercedes-Platz, plus the pop-up Bluebird Cafe at the Passionskirche Kreuzberg, an intimate acoustic session that brings the famous Nashville original to Berlin. This mix of arena show, city stages, and songwriter round-robin makes the event a three-day country weekend rather than just a concert visit.
Lineup 2026 - International Country Elite
The Mainstage 2026 unites three of Nashville's most listened-to voices with Jordan Davis, Scotty McCreery, and Zach Top: Davis as the songwriter behind hits like "Buy Dirt", McCreery as an American Idol winner, Zach Top as a neo-traditional phenomenon. Also performing are Drake Milligan, Jackson Dean, Kameron Marlowe, Tyler Braden, and Waylon Wyatt. The Holler Stage presents the generation below: Elizabeth Nichols, Emily Ann Roberts, Mae Estes, Crowe Boys, Kaylee Bell, Kruse Brothers, and dozens more - the full festival pass opens the doors to all stages.
Country in Germany - A Growing Scene
Germany was long a secondary market for country music, but the trend has reversed: streaming numbers for artists like Morgan Wallen, Luke Combs, and Lainey Wilson are exploding, and German festivals with country stages are filling up. AEG Presents, as the organizer, recognized this early on and made Berlin the German home of C2C: central location, its own arena, good train connections to the main station and BER airport.
The City Around It
Mercedes-Platz is located directly at the Warschauer Strasse S-Bahn and U-Bahn station in the Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg district, a stone's throw from Berlin Ostbahnhof. Those extending their weekend will find the East Side Gallery and the RAW grounds just a few hundred meters away, while Mitte and Kreuzberg are about ten minutes away by S-Bahn.
C2C Berlin — edition 2026
The 2026 festival format follows the established C2C concept: each of the three festival evenings on the Mainstage has its own headliner block, plus alternating acts on the Holler Stage and at the Bluebird Cafe in the Passionskirche Kreuzberg. The festival pass opens all doors, while the combined ticket is limited to the Mainstage shows.
The weekend kicks off on the evening of March 5 at the Bluebird Cafe: a Berlin adaptation of the famous Nashville songwriter cafe, where artists perform their songs in a stripped-down, round-robin format. Afterwards, the Side Stages at Uber-Platz will keep the festival grounds lively with live country music between the Mainstage shows.
