POST-PICTO PARTY @Zenner

22:00 — LATE

Bye bye 2024. 

Thank God it’s Saturday! Shake off your visual overload at the glorious Pictoplasma Closing Party on Saturday at Zenner. The night features a live blast by Brass Riot, an energetic sax and drums trio that emerged from the Fridays for Future movement and blends Ska, Fake-Jazz and beats that play with house and electronic; VR artist Joseph Melhuish, aka DJ Return To The Dance, arrives straight out of London’s underground rave scene; and British-Nigerian artist Juba takes us through the night with their special blend of dance music from Africa and the African diaspora, techno and UK funky.

Without wristband entry 10€ 

How to get to Zenner from silent green (Wedding station): Take the Circle Line S41 to Treptower Park, from where it’s a 20 minute walk along the river Spree to Zenner. Don’t get lost in the Biergarten, the party is inside. There is also a bus stop at Zenner for the line 265, check bvg.de for details.
