Ali Riza T??rker, Secretary General of MÜYORBIR, added “Popkomm is the event at which the splendour and the status of Turkish music can be experienced. Everyone is invited to come and enjoy it.”
Popkomm will also showcase artists and exhibitors from all over Europe and speakers include Robin Gibb of the Bee-Gees and Klaus Voorman.
Bands from all over the world will strut their stuff around the German capital in clubs filled with both music fans and industry people from the four corners of the globe.
Popkomm begins on Wednesday, October 8 and runs for three nights, plus the fairly new addition of the Popkomm DJ night, which showcases Berlin’s dance heritage. Last year it was headlined by the face of German dance music, Paul Van Dyk.
