Berlin Concert Weekend: Tokio Hotel Album Show, Behemoth, and a Farewell Jazz Set

The Tagesspiegel's cultural correspondent Jörg Wunder published concert recommendations for the Berlin weekend of 23–27 October 2026 on 22 October. The guide opened with black-metal double-bill Behemoth and Dimmu Borgir on Friday 23 October at Columbiahalle (Columbiadamm 13–21, Tempelhof, €77), described as 'Schredderlärm with genre-typical growling'. Saturday 24 October sees the final instalment of the Jazzexzess series at its home venue House of Music, with Luise Volkmann's punk-jazz project using self-built instruments alongside the Vehicle/Passenger trio blending jazz, spoken word and live electronics. Most extensively covered was Tokio Hotel's album-release show on Saturday 25 October at UFO Velodrom (€65 including CD), with the article tracing the twin brothers' rise to fame at sixteen with their 2005 debut, and noting that a full-scale concert follows at Uber Arena on 7 November. Also recommended: Turbostaat at Admiralspalast on 25 October ('räudige Pogohymnen' from Husum, from €42). The taz's separate 23 October concert column by Thomas Mauch added a different flavour, recommending a Mongolian National Theatre horsehead fiddle and throat-singing concert (noting President Steinmeier attended a recent session at the Deutsches Theater), alongside the Berlin Jazz Festival running 29 October–1 November.
