Punk Legends at Astra Kulturhaus
The Monsters of Punk Festival sees itself as an annual Berlin gathering point for the international hardcore and streetpunk scene. The venue is the Astra Kulturhaus on Revaler Straße 99 on the RAW grounds (Friedrichshain), one of Berlin's best-known event halls for rock, punk, and metal.
British Anarcho- and Streetpunk at the Center
The festival traditionally focuses on the legacy of British punk: in 2026, Discharge, GBH, and The Exploited will share a stage in Berlin – a lineup rarely seen in this form elsewhere. The three bands have shaped D-beat, streetpunk, and anarcho-punk since the late 1970s and have influenced countless subsequent bands.
Polish, German, and Berlin Acts
The lineup is completed by Polish punk legends Farben Lehre, as well as German and Berlin bands like Deaf Devils, Antinorm, and Hot Action Waxing. The festival thus combines classic streetpunk with current acts from the Central and Eastern European scene.
Astra Kulturhaus – Berlin's Punk Address
The Astra can hold up to 1,500 standing spectators and is part of the DNA of Berlin's concert culture. Located directly at the Warschauer Straße S-Bahn station, in the heart of Friedrichshain's nightlife, it's the perfect festival venue: backstage meets underground, cloakroom meets RAW-Klub. The Monsters of Punk is one of those concerts where the Astra fully lives up to its reputation as Berlin's punk house.
