On 13 and 14 November 2026 8MM Fest returns for two nights across three of Berlin’s most distinctive spaces: 8MM Bar in Prenzlauer Berg, ACUD MACHT NEU in Mitte, and the Zionskirche. Deliberately kept lean, the festival channels 8MM Bar’s two-decade reputation for curating the best of the world’s underground into a compact, Mitte-centered weekend.
New York City’s New Colossus Festival is delighted to return to curate a stage for two nights at ACUD MACHT NEU. Here is a brief introduction to some of the artists performing. activemirror blends the lineage of post-punk with a voice entirely their own, emerging as a rare force from Aruba, a small Caribbean island, to reach international stages. Their live shows blur the divide between crowd and band, carried by atmosphere, tension, and widescreen songwriting.
