Icon's trendsetting music agenda and ambitious bookings policy have established the Berlin club's reputation well beyond the borders of the German capital. It all began in 1996 as a series of parties in an old disused brewery.
Now twelve years and a lot of rebuilding work later, Icon is a mainstay of the city's underground music scene with a mix of regular club nights, one-off events, and concerts. As well as residencies by a stable of local "spinmeisters," Icon regularly hosts top international DJs like Grooverider or Nightmares on Wax.
The club is also a venue for label nights with established names like London's Ninja Tune or Bristol-based drum'n'bass stable Full Cycle. There are also regular events in co-operation with partners such as Bread & Butter, the progressive clothing scene's annual fashion and trade extravaganza, or the music and entertainment trade fair Popkomm.
In Berlin's fast-changing club scene, Icon is firmly established as a venue for new sound experiences. An insider tip for cutting-edge clubbers who want to party beyond the mainstream.
