The seventh edition of AL.FESTIVAL comes to a close with its biggest celebration yet. On Saturday, 10 October, Festsaal Kreuzberg transforms into a four-stage festival, bringing together live concerts, club music, and boundary-pushing performances from across SWANA and its diasporas.
The night is headlined by the legendary Natacha Atlas & Samy Bishai, whose collaboration bridges Arabic musical traditions with contemporary orchestration, alongside TootArd, the genre-defying duo from the occupied Golan Heights, whose latest work reimagines the sounds of 1980s Middle Eastern disco through a vibrant blend of synth-pop, Arabic melodies, and irresistible dancefloor grooves.
The programme also features a special showcase by BLTNM Records with Daboor, Fawzi & Smokoholic, presenting the cutting edge of Palestinian hip-hop and electronic music. 3yoony, the Iraqi-born, Berlin-based artist, redefines Arabic pop through experimental electronics, club music, and bold performances. Nagham Saleh, the Egyptian singer, is part of a new generation of artists reshaping Arabic pop through collaborations spanning hip-hop, electronic music, and contemporary Egyptian sounds. sāda | سادة , the Palestinian vocalist, composer, and multidisciplinary artist, creates immersive performances where voice, electronics, and improvisation intertwine, crafting intimate and atmospheric sonic landscapes. Sara ATH, the Greek-Egyptian rapper based in Berlin, joins forces with Ingrid Hideki and Lafert for a special queer collaborative performance.
Outside in the biergarten, our official festival partner Refuge Worldwide returns with a stage takeover featuring a special DJ set by Syrian Archive Cassette alongside more guests to be announced. Back by popular demand, ADIRA Party hosts another edition of ADIRAOKE—their iconic queer pop karaoke, inviting everyone to take the mic and sing along.
As every year, the festival bazaar returns to the biergarten with independent artists, designers, publishers, and community initiatives, alongside a selection of delicious food stands serving flavours from across the region.
With four stages, countless sounds, and a growing community, the Grand Finale brings together established icons and emerging voices for one last night of live music, dancing, and celebration, closing the festival the way we know best!
More artists will be announced soon.
