Bear’s Den in Festsaal Kreuzberg
Bear’s Den is a folk-rock band which was formed back in 2012. They are based in London but are touring all over the world to play at venues and festivals. I personally fell in love with them during Lollapalooza 2017, which was organised in Hoppegarten, Berlin. Their music fits in the category of bands like Mumford and Sons, The Paper Kites and Matthew and the Atlas. It is a perfect mix of sensitive folk with just enough rock to make it exciting and powerful.
The concert in Berlin of Bear’s Den will take place in Festsaal Kreuzberg. This place is located between Treptower Park and Schlesisches Tor and therefore has a great location. There are plenty of nice bars and restaurants around to meet your friends for a beer before going here. If you still want to party afterwards, you can easily go to clubs like the Arena or Club der Visionaere.
I can’t forget you. I try all the time.
Lyrics from the song “Berlin” by Bear’s Den
I can’t forget you. Berlin, with your hand in mine

Ten Fé in Musik & Frieden
The English band Ten Fé consists of two friends called Leo Duncan en Ben Moorhouse. Their music fits in the category indie-pop and they had been playing underground-gigs in London for many years before they were discovered internationally. Their most popular song so far is probably “Elodie“, which personally reminds me a lot of the song “I’m on Fire” by Bruce Springsteen: It has the same lovely laidback vibe. The name Ten Fé comes from the spanish language and means so much as Have Faith.
Musik & Frieden
This venue in Berlin was previously called Comet Club and is a place many people love to visit during the weekend because it is a great place to party in Berlin. But during the week you can mainly find concerts and performances here. The venue is located on walking distance of both stations Schlesisches Tor and Warschauer Straße. Right next door you can always visit the Watergate if you are still in for some techno.
Name: Ten Fé

Milk Carton Kids in the Passionskirche
Another concert in Berlin in 2019 you should definitely consider to visit is the Milk Carton Kids. This band originally comes from California in the US. Their music fits in the category of Indie-Folk. Since the band was grounded in 2011, they have released 5 different albums. The latest one is called “All the Things That I Did and All the Things That I Didn’t Do” and was nominated for a Grammy!
A concert in a church in the middle of Berlin
The Milk Carton Kids will perform on a very special location in Berlin, called the Passionskirche. As the name already indicates this is a church in the Bergmannkiez which is a very pleasant part of Berlin. You can reach the concert from station Südstern or Gneißenausstraße. Obviously it is a great combination to have an acoustic folk-band play in a church. This will surely lead to a very special atmosphere.
