The Next Day: Must-See Concerts in Berlin

August, September, and October, 2024

Hi,

Nothing gives me more FOMO than Berlin's concert scene. You can attend a concert every day of the year if you want. Since I can't afford all the concerts I want to see, careful curation is essential. Here, I share my research and all the concerts I'd love to attend in the next months.

I apologize for sharing my FOMO with you, but there are so many concerts that we often miss the ones we want to see the most simply because we didn't know they were happening in the city.

If you have gigs to share, please add them in the comments or reply to this email. I'd love to hear your tips too.
