Program You can already get an impression of the final concert program by looking at the artists who have already been confirmed. Four large stages offer an exciting mixture of the whole range of electronic music until late in the evening. A special experience is provided by the seaside stage, which will be equipped with a 3D sound system from NewAudioTechnology this year. One of the best theremin players in the world - Carolina Eyck - will be demonstrating her skills on it. • The first day promises to be a great experience already - with an experimental set by Headless Horseman, followed by the concert of the British EBM band Nitzer Ebb on the seaside stage. At the end of the day Techno veteran Surgeon will play in the big K1. Also already confirmed is a performance by Emika - she combines her skills as sound designer, classically trained composer and versatile singer and songwriter. 1 SUPERBOOTH20 – Trade fair for electronic instruments and handmade music • On Friday the seaside stage will be very lively with T.Raumschmiere & FuCKetYbUcKetY.

This area is supported by the Miller-Zillmer Foundation. Gammons Modular Synthesizer Ensemble introduces students to the topic with a dozen smaller modular systems. Together they develop a composition that the school classes perform daily between 1:30 and 2:00 pm in the auditorium. In addition, Leaf Audio offer a workshop on soldering the Microphonic Soundbox. The team of Selbstgebaute Musik invites for a workshop with the Instrumentenautomatenorchester. And the organizers are also pleased to announce the cooperation with the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, who will offer the workshop Creative Sound Safari. Boat shuttle The boat shuttles take the passengers to the FEZ in the morning and back to Berlin Mitte in the evening after the event. But by leaving SUPERBOOTH20 the music doesn't have to stop yet - for the return trips to Berlin Mitte there are concerts and DJ sets on some of the boat shuttles. In order to experience these exclusive events on the river Spree, it is recommended to book your ticket online in time. The return trips end near the Jannowitzbrücke. From there it is only a few minutes’ walk to the nearby official SUPERBOOTH20 parties at OHM, Melancholie 2 or C-Base.
