Berlin's AL.Festival Reveals Lineup for Its 2026 Edition

Berlin-based annual music festival AL.Festival has unveiled the lineup for its 2026 edition, taking place at Festsaal Kreuzberg from October 2nd to October 10th.

Founded in 2019 by cultural collective AL.Berlin, which has been creating spaces for the SWANA diaspora in Berlin, AL.Festival has grown into a key platform for showcasing artists from across the Arab world. Its genre-spanning programme moves between pop, alternative, folk, mahraganat and electronic music, reflecting the diversity of sounds emerging from the region and its diaspora.

Marking its seventh edition, AL.Festival 2026 will feature a week-long programme of live performances, club nights, workshops, film screenings and roundtable discussions, continuing its commitment to celebrating Arab artistic expression beyond borders. This year’s lineup includes Palestinian oud player and composer Kamilya Jubran, Tunisian singer and activist Badiaa Bouhrizi, Palestinian rapper and BLTNM member Daboor, and Egyptian avant-garde DJ and producer Abadir. The festival will also host a showcase from the Syrian Cassette Archives.

The full programme will be announced soon. Tickets are available through Tzkrti’s official website or via the link in AL.Berlin’s Instagram bio.
