Music of 2025
Let’s see if 3 years in a row can make this a routine. Here are the last two posts:
2025 In Review
Just like 2025, I had 27 concerts lined up but I missed a few due to being sick or generally having kein bock. I am a but surprised by how tilted the concerts were to the second half of the year. March and April barely had anything.
Many of the bands were ones I already knew, so there wasn’t too much novel music discovery in 2025.

There were my top shows of the year:
- Ghost - They are incredibly entertaining live and their music always makes me feel good. The atmosphere is positive with people having a good time.
- King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - This particular show was fun because it was in an interesting venue in Barcelona. They also played a lot of interesting heavy prog-like songs from their catalogue.
- Midnight + Yoth Iria + Sarcator + Bloodfang - Noteworthy because I saw it with a few ex-SoundCloud colleagues and came in with zero expecations and left having a blast moshing with the crowd. Yoth Iria was the most noteworthy of all the bands that played.
- Marillion - This was a 2 night performance and it was fun to plan an entire weekend around it. There was a fun and drunk Polish group of fans sitting around me that made the experience a lot of fun as well.
- Hania Rani - I enjoyed this performance with an old high-school friend who was visiting from Vancouver. It was a psychadelic audio experience where she played a more electronic orientated set in an art gallery with spacial audio.

Summary
Berlin doesn’t dissapoint with the options to see live music. 2026 already has several concerts lined up. I keep a live upcoming concerts page page to keep track.
