Miranda! concert was like being in the very depths of hell, so much heat. But the show was amazing 🤩

I went to the Miranda concert on 16.08.24. Everything good with the venue except for the living hell we were living inside caused by the poor ventilation, even the performers were struggling without air conditioning in a summer night.
What the hell were you thinking?

We went to see Acid Arab and had a great night. Music was at a pleasant level, not overwhelming but easy to get lost in. There were dedicated smoking areas away from the main stage so the air felt good. The drinks were cheap at €7 and poured with double shots so it was perfect to keep the buzz going. I do wish they'd invest in some air conditioning though, cause the inside got very hot.

I've been to a lot of concerts, this is the only one I needed to leave early. I don't know if the sound system is just ridiculously bad, or if they hired a techno sound engineer for a jazz concert: bass cranked up to the max, no mids or highs, everything just super loud and vibrating without any nuance, voices barely audible. The AC doesn't work well either, I almost fainted from the heat and lack of fresh air. The staff is not unfriendly though.

Stylish and cool location. Good prices. The sound and especially the lightshow was pretty good that night.

I would suggest to wear ear protection, but especially if you want to stay in the very front of the stage.

Great Drum n Bass DJs at Fete de la Musica! Nice relaxed vibe.

Only downside is the (typical German) static dancing... everyone stays at their own spot, no moving around.

bartenders are friendly and the drinks are reasonably priced. The sound system, although not the best, still created a great atmosphere thanks to an interesting performance by a French band. All in all, a sociable experience that you should really experience once a week in Berlin.

The place is top notch because of the vibe and the humble and polite staff!! I went for the Acid Arab gig. Doors got opened at sharp 00:00, not a long queue. Door policy is not strict and the security was humble and welcoming. Jacket store costs 2€ . Second box is small and meant for smoking as well, plays a different genre. Yes the sound systems need an upgrade but overall a wonderful experience with excellent crowd. Every staff member was polite and friendly. My humble request to all the tourists that please respect the dance floor and stop making videos of someone dance moves or if someone is on the trip.
