During the Popkomm Music Festival, more than 400 acts will showcase here in Berlin over the next 3 nights.
Popkomm is about music as culture, not music as marketing. It highlights the activity in various regions as opposed to the hype of a top 40 chart.
Last night, Turkey’s Athena performed at the Popkomm opening. Athena is a Turkish ska band. They were the Turkish entrants for Eurovision this year.
Over the next four nights, Popkomm will feature live music from Tricky, Travis and Finland’s Lordi.
