Berlin clubs will open their doors to vaccinated and recovered persons as early as this weekend

By News No Comments

This weekend, the Berlin Senate will allow clubs to open for those who have either been vaccinated or have recovered from Covid-19, potentially as early as this weekend.

On August 31, the Berlin Clubcommission announced the decision. The new regulations are expected to go into force this weekend, according to a report by AFP.

People who have been vaccinated or recovered from Covid-19 infection will be permitted inside under the new method. Capacity and mask rules will not be enforced. They’ll still be prohibited from entering if they’re unvaccinated or have never received Covid-19.

When it came to those who had recently been vaccinated or recovered, an administrative court found that the prohibition on dancing indoors was “likely to be disproportional.” To comply with this judgment, the Berlin Senate announced its decision today. Since the summer, certain Berlin venues have operated outside spaces.

Plötze in Berlin set permission to continue holding events

By News No Comments

The lakeside venue in Berlin has been unable to stage music events in recent weeks.

Local officials have banned the open-air facility, which is located near the Plötzensee in Wedding, from organizing musical and cultural events since late July.

“Due to unclarity in rules and violated promises from the local district, Plötze has been prevented from offering any sort of cultural program that incorporates music throughout the previous weeks,” the Plötze team said in a statement this week. After months of back and forth, there is now clarity: Culture at the Plötze will take place, and dancing, even if only on one leg, will be authorized once more.

No live instruments would perform within the venue under the new arrangement negotiated with the authorities, resulting in the cancellation of all scheduled live band performances.

A condition of the deal is that capacity limitations will be in place for future events, which will resume this weekend. On Sunday, August 15th, Plötze’s schedule will resume with Sunshine Club, followed by an extended back-to-back performance between Francesco Del Garda and Saoirse on Saturday, August 21st.

Planet Pleasure taking place this Thursday at Revier Südost

By News No Comments

Since its unfortunate closure, the particular place once known as Griessmuehle has developed into what is now known as Revier Südost, bringing with it the advent of a brand-new party to Berlin.

Planet Pleasure’s former incarnation was world-renowned for weekend-long debauched parties featuring some of the world’s finest musicians, and Planet Pleasure is ready to continue this legacy.

Planet Pleasure, which will take place on Thursdays exclusively, will have its inaugural edition on August 19th, and the first musical adventure is jam-packed with stars. The prolonged session will begin in the early evening and will not conclude until 12 hours later.

House and techno legends such as mistress Anthea, German house maestro Djoko, who will perform b2b with Thalo Santana, vibe machine Gene on Earth, Thabo, and minimal queen Vera will provide the soundtrack to the enormous mature playground. These may be Planet Pleasure’s inaugural event, but with lineups like this and a location like Revier Südost, we’re confident it’ll be a great success with Berlin’s untapped potential.

You can find out more about the event on Facebook and buy tickets here.
