Electronics in the Philharmonie
The Berliner Philharmonie – Hans Scharoun's iconic concert hall at the Kulturforum (Tiergarten / Mitte district) – has been synonymous with classical music for decades. With the Strom festival, the venue regularly opens its foyers and the Great Hall to the Berlin electronic music scene. The result: a night where the hierarchy between 'serious' and 'popular' music is dissolved, without either side losing its distinct character.
Eight Hours, Multiple Spaces
Strom follows a program spread across several spaces. The foyer, with its staircases and sightlines, becomes club architecture – DJs play in an open space, and the audience moves between bars, sound systems, and viewing balconies. The Great Hall, with Hans Scharoun's 'vineyard' architecture, hosts the concert-style program points: AV performances, ensemble pieces, and sound art installations.
Sound Installation and Composition
A sound installation by artist Nevin Aladağ titled Jamming accompanies the festival in 2026. It combines furniture objects with prepared instruments and electronic transmissions – a spatial sound sculpture that visitors can activate themselves.
Curation and Spirit
The organizer is the Stiftung Berliner Philharmoniker, with curatorial support from the Berlin club scene. The festival is traditionally supported by the Aventis Foundation and Siemens. Strom is one of the few festivals that brings together the identity of Berlin as a capital city of both classical music and club culture in a single night – and thus rightly belongs to the Berlin festival calendar, radiating far beyond the Philharmonie.

Practical information — Strom
Getting There
Take the U-Bahn line U2 to Potsdamer Platz or the S-Bahn lines S1/S2/S25, also to Potsdamer Platz. From there, it's about a five-minute walk to the Philharmonie. Alternatively, take bus M29 or M48. There is a multi-story car park at Potsdamer Platz, which incurs a fee on festival evenings.
Tickets
Tickets range from €21 to €58, available via berliner-philharmoniker.de. Discounts for students are usually available. Early booking is recommended, as the festival regularly sells out quickly.
Tips
Those who want to experience the Great Hall should plan for the early main concert starting at 9:45 PM. Those seeking the club atmosphere should come for the late-night sets in the foyer starting at 10:30 PM. There is a cloakroom on-site; the audience mingles at the bars, blending concert and club attire.
