OFF DAYS

After two successful years, the OFF DAYS concert series is returning to Berlin and Hamburg in the summer of 2026. On August 18 at Hamburg’s Stadtpark and on August 19 at the Zitadelle Spandau in Berlin, visitors can once again look forward to a carefully curated open-air evening featuring international acts spanning pop, R&B, alternative, and electronic music.

Blood Orange has been announced as the headliner for this year’s edition. Behind the project is British-American musician, producer, and songwriter Dev Hynes, who has long been considered one of the most exciting voices in indie, soul, and R&B. With albums such as Cupid Deluxe, Freetown Sound, and Negro Swan, he has shaped a distinctive sound that blends pop, club culture, and avant-garde. His latest album, Essex Honey (2025), which has been celebrated by many critics, once again underscores his role as one of the most influential and versatile artists of his generation.

With Hamburg’s Stadtpark and Berlin’s Zitadelle Spandau, OFF DAYS continues to feature two of Germany’s most beautiful open-air venues: locations right in the heart of the city that, thanks to their historic settings and abundant greenery, feel like a brief escape. The series’ concept remains unchanged: each evening features several international acts that are a perfect musical match.

In recent years, OFF DAYS has already brought a series of extraordinary international artists to stages in Berlin and Hamburg. The 2024 premiere featured Róisín Murphy, Gossip, Peaches, Marc Rebillet, and Flying Lotus, among others, in the lineup. In 2025, the lineup included Nelly Furtado, Yseult, 070 Shake, Bakar, and Saint Levant. In 2026, OFF DAYS remains true to its mission of bringing together exciting international acts in a curated open-air setting.

Additional acts for the evenings with Blood Orange will be announced shortly.
