AL.FESTIVAL.2025 at Festsaal Kreuzberg

Berlin’s celebration of SWANA sound, community, and resistance is back for its 6th edition!

Unapologetically loud and boldly present, AL.FESTIVAL is a space of resistance and joy in a time when our existence is too often treated as a threat. We come together to disrupt, to be heard, and to carry both the rage and calm woven into our sound.

This year brings a new logo, a fresh program, and an unforgettable lineup of artists — alongside powerful collaborations with some of Berlin’s most vital SWANA collectives. Expect live shows, DJ sets, Karaoke, and a vibrant community bazaar serving flavours that taste like home.
