It's nothing less than the most popular concert series in Germany: Unreleased Berlin has taken FOMO to a new level and has become the hottest live format in the capital in just one and a half years. And why? Because you don't know who's playing beforehand. But you do know who has already played. It all started in the Monarch Bar at Kottbusser Tor in June 2023, then moved to the Lido and finally to the Festsaal Kreuzberg with a capacity of 1,500 people. Nevertheless, tickets sold out within minutes.

The highlight: no recordings or recordings of the concerts are permitted from the audience. The artists love this safe space and use Unreleased as testing ground for new songs. Whether Trettmann or Aitch, Ski Aggu, Domiziana or Apsilon - the concept as a counter-movement also catches on with big names. And yet Unreleased also works for newcomers.

Co-founder and Managing Director Federico Battaglia talks to Tamara Güçlü about how this success came about and what the plans are for the future.
