Dark Spring Festival

Established Date on Berlin's Dark Scene Calendar

In 2025, the Dark Spring Festival was once again a key fixture for the Berlin and European dark scene. The venue was again the Lido on Cuvrystraße in Berlin-Kreuzberg, curated by Golden Apes.

Concept and Atmosphere

The festival remained true to its profile: a single festival evening with four to six carefully selected bands from the Gothic, Post-Punk, Darkwave, and electronic genres, performing in close succession within the intimate club setting of the Lido. The intimate atmosphere, an open-minded audience from all over Europe, and the curatorial touch of Golden Apes made the 2025 edition another must-attend event for the scene.
