Crimson Sunday live beim 1. Mai Fest an der Bötzoweiche

In the organizer's words:

May Day in Berlin - and we're right in the middle of it! 🎸 Start your holiday tour with us at Marion-Seelig-Platz. Right next to Volkspark Friedrichshain, we'll serve you a good dose of indie rock to wake you up.

This place, still known to many as "Bötzoweiche", has a long tradition: the legendary May Day celebrations with a mix of music and politics have been taking place here since 1989. Since March 2026, the square has officially borne the name of politician Marion Seelig - a perfect setting to continue this history with a fresh sound.

Pack your bags, grab a cold drink and enjoy the first show of the day under the open sky in the heart of the Bötzow district. We look forward to seeing you!
