We’re at the start of September, so once again it’s time to look at some of the biggest events happening over the next 30 days from one of our destination cities.  This month we’re looking at one of our favourites, Berlin, so without further ado:
Berlin Music Week: 3rd – 7th
This five day event brings together some of the hottest new talent at the moment in Berlin’s Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg district. Every year roughly 20,000 people from all over the world will attend this event which bolsters Berlin’s status as an international new music hotspot.  For tickets, venue details and information about the acts playing, take a look at the official Berlin Music Week website here.
