About the venue
KühlhausBerlin
Luckenwalder Straße 3
10963 Berlin
Once a cold storage facility, the landmark building KühlhausBerlin is now a vibrant space for cultural events and regularly hosts concerts, mounts art exhibitions, craft fairs, plant sales and more.
​
Its concert hall is known as the cube: floors one through three of the building were opened up, so that there is a stage and audience seating level on the first floor, and open galleries with a view onto the stage on the second and third.
