The live programme outdoors kicks off with a concert by Dylan Kerr on the south terrace in front of the former main entrance of Gropius Bau. Bobby Beethoven then takes over the terrace with an open-air DJ set. Formerly known as Total Freedom, the artist has been pushing the boundaries of traditional club sounds for over a decade. The evening concludes with the Berlin debut of young rapper Cortisa Star, who has already conquered the internet with her music and is now giving a concert at Gropius Bau.

Spätschicht – Live Programme at Gropius Bau is a monthly series of free events with an interdisciplinary programme ranging from talks, book discussions and film screenings to concerts and DJ sets. Sometimes loud, sometimes quiet, experimental and always open to clashing – a space to discover new things and shift perspectives.
