Looking for concerts in Berlin in November and December 2026? If your taste leans toward post-punk, darkwave, New Wave and darker alternative music, these are five Berlin gigs worth knowing about: Jakuzi, Boy Harsher, Planta Industrial, MTTM with Twenty-Four Eyes, and She Past Away.
This is a focused guide rather than a generic Berlin concert calendar. We’re concentrating on post-punk gigs, darkwave concerts and adjacent alternative shows happening across Kreuzberg and Friedrichshain as 2026 comes to a close.
One of the nights is ours: MTTM return home to Berlin on 12 December for a show with Twenty-Four Eyes at Monarch. We’re including it openly rather than presenting it as an independent recommendation.
Dates, ticket availability and door times can change, so check the linked event page before heading out.

1. Jakuzi at Lido — post-punk and synth-pop in Kreuzberg
Date: Friday 13 November 2026
Time: 20:00
Venue: Lido, Cuvrystraße 7, 10997 Berlin-Kreuzberg
Sound: Post-punk, synth-pop, darkwave, New Wave
For anyone searching for a melodic post-punk gig in Berlin, Jakuzi are an easy place to start. The Istanbul band sit right in the overlap between darkwave and synth-pop: melancholic, danceable and tense without leaning too hard on nostalgia.
Tickets and details: Jakuzi at Lido
2. Boy Harsher + Choir Boy + Curses at Columbiahalle
Date: Sunday 22 November 2026
Time: 20:00
Venue: Columbiahalle, Columbiadamm 13–21, 10965 Berlin-Kreuzberg
Sound: Darkwave, minimal synth, electronic post-punk
One of the biggest darkwave concerts in Berlin this winter comes from Boy Harsher, with Choir Boy and Curses joining the bill. Expect the club-facing side of the genre: minimal electronics, repetition, tension and a live set built as much around movement as atmosphere.
Tickets and details: Boy Harsher at Columbiahalle
3. Planta Industrial at Astra Kulturhaus
Date: Sunday 6 December 2026
Time: 20:00
Venue: Astra Kulturhaus, Revaler Straße 99, 10245 Berlin-Friedrichshain
Sound: Post-punk, darkwave, electronic, punk
Planta Industrial are the wildcard of this Berlin concert list. The Bronx duo pull post-punk and darkwave into a broader collision of electronics, punk, pop and rap. Pick this one if your version of alternative music gets more interesting when the genre borders stop behaving.
Tickets and details: Planta Industrial at Astra Kulturhaus
4. MTTM + Twenty-Four Eyes at Monarch — a Berlin post-punk homecoming
The homecoming pick
Date: Saturday 12 December 2026
Doors: 18:30
Venue: Monarch, Skalitzer Straße 134, 10999 Berlin-Kreuzberg
Sound: Dark synth-pop, New Wave, post-punk, noise rock
After taking their music through Germany and Poland, MTTM are back home in Berlin for one more show before the year closes.
MTTM treat the 80s less like nostalgia and more like raw material: cold synths, restless guitars, driving live drums and melodies moving between longing and urgency. Joining them are Berlin four-piece Twenty-Four Eyes, pushing the night into a rougher space of industrial rhythms, glitchy textures, post-punk and noise rock.
If you’re specifically looking for a smaller post-punk gig in Berlin rather than a larger concert hall, this is the intimate pick on the list: two Berlin bands, two different edges of post-punk, one room above Kottbusser Tor.
Tickets: Early Bird €15 · Regular €18 · Last Minute €22

5. She Past Away at Lido — darkwave after Christmas
Date: Saturday 26 December 2026
Doors: 19:00 · Start: 20:00
Venue: Lido, Cuvrystraße 7, 10997 Berlin-Kreuzberg
Sound: Darkwave, post-punk, coldwave
If you want to end December with darkwave in its most stripped-back form, She Past Away are the obvious closer. Drum-machine pulse, angular guitar, synths and deep Turkish vocals have made the duo one of the most recognisable names in modern darkwave.
