ARRIVE WHENEVERJUN 19–21 2026 BLOCK C POWER STATION [REDACTED], BERLIN 56 HOURS · SOLD ON CASSETTE
Music that was never meant to be heard, played where the power went out.
Fifty-six continuous hours of noise, drone, power electronics and deconstructed sound inside a decommissioned turbine hall. No schedule. No headliners. Discomfort is not a side effect — it is the programme.

ARRIVE WHENEVERBlock C hasn't generated electricity since 1991. The turbine hall is concrete, rust and a 9-second reverb tail. We didn't soundproof it. We weaponised it.
9-SEC REVERBThe line-up is alphabetised by accident. Nobody closes, nobody opens, nobody is more important than the wall they're standing against. Forty-one acts, flat hierarchy, zero billing wars.
FLAT BILLPeaks hit 110 dB. Earplugs are handed out at the door and they are not optional. This is the only comfort we offer, and we offer it because we want you back next year with your hearing intact.
110 dB · EARPLUGS IN41 confirmed · order is meaningless · names may distort on arrival
"It made my teeth itch and I have thought about nothing else for three weeks. Lower marks are higher praise here."— GROUND LOOP (zine, issue 04)
"There is no stage. There is no front. You stop looking for the band and start listening to the building."— FEEDBACK QUARTERLY (apocryphal)
"I came to hate it. I left a member. I do not fully understand what happened on the second night and I prefer it that way."— a person who attended '24
In for one rotation. Out before your ears recover. The cowardly option, and an honest one.
The whole continuous wall. Come and go, sleep in the yard, return at 4am for the set nobody warned you about.
Everything above, plus you fund the next dead building. Non-refundable on principle. We will not talk you out of it.
cash at the door · sliding scale on request · no one turned away for lack of funds · this is the only rule we won't break
Join the static. We send one transmission a month: who's been added, where the next dead building is, and exactly how loud it will be. No graphics. No reassurance.
