Berlin Hardcore Fest Music Festival Every year in September

Since 2006, Berlin punkers have raised money for local nonprofits with the Berlin Hardcore Fest. Every year, ten punk bands like All For Revenge, Punishable Act, and Sullen Eyes Sore come to Berlin to play for free on the last Sunday in September. The Berlin Hardcore Fest donates all the profits to local advocacy groups like Whitewater Berlin – The Association Against the Sexual Abuse of Girls.

Tickets to the Berlin Hardcore Fest at Cassiopeia are around €7. The show starts at 5pm and tends to fill up to Cassiopeia’s 800-person capacity. The Berlin Hardcore Fest ends early enough to explore other bars and venues. But first, sample the beer at Cassiopeia’s sprawling beer garden. Or maybe try your hand at climbing the rock wall, catching a film screening, or dropping in on the half-pipe at their skate park.
