radioeins Parkfest

Park am Gleisdreieck as a Summer Broadcasting Hub

The Park am Gleisdreieck, located between Kreuzberg, Schöneberg, and Tiergarten, has been one of Berlin's most vibrant city parks since its opening in 2011/2014. The former railway tracks now feature expansive meadows, sports areas, and small stage venues. It is precisely here that the rbb station radioeins has been hosting its Parkfest for years – one of Berlin's few large, free open-air formats not supported by breweries or advertising agencies, but by public broadcasting radio.

Nine Days, Nine Program Days

Unlike most festivals, the radioeins Parkfest runs for nine days – from Saturday to the Sunday of the following week. Weekday evenings feature programming, while weekends offer all-day entertainment. The program mixes live concerts, comedy performances, readings, children's programming, sports activities, and live broadcasts from the park – with studio guests and listeners present on site.

Indie, Singer-Songwriter, Berlin Scene

Musically, the festival focuses on Berlin's indie, pop, and singer-songwriter scene, with occasional national guests. In previous years, artists such as SIND (Berlin indie-rock), Goldkimono, Akryl, Lawn Chair (Cologne indie), Die Höchste Eisenbahn, and the KAMA Orchestra have performed. The stages are small and intimate, and the concerts remain acoustically within the framework of a living room experience.

Cooperation with radio3 (rbb's cultural station)

Since 2025, the Parkfest has been organized in collaboration with rbb's cultural station radio3. This has led to a stronger presence of classical, jazz, and cultural-political formats in the program – with classical sets, jazz combos, and talk rounds with cultural creators.
