Munich. The third edition of the PureCrafted
Festival takes place on 26 and 27 August – in a new look and at an
authentic Berlin location. After two successful years at the Berlin
Postbahnhof, the festival now moves to a larger space, its new home
being the former Berlin power station Altes Kraftwerk
Rummelsburg. The site offers impressive industrial charm and
promises greater diversity than ever for all friends and fans of
motorcycle culture, New
Heritage lifestyle and down-to-earth guitar
music. Once again this year, the festival offers an exquisite
entertainment line-up. With captivating live shows by
Interpol, Car Seat
Headrest and Razz, PureCrafted
brings Berlin a very distinctive experience in a late summer atmosphere.
With its melancholic post-punk and new wave, the US band
Interpol is the headline act at this year’s
PureCrafted Festival. They will be bringing along their
trendsetting album “Turn On The Bright Lights” with them, which
celebrates its 15th anniversary this year. Also to be seen on the
main stage: the self-made musician Will Toledo
alias Car Seat Headrest and band.
Unwilling to commit to a specific genre – which would be boring
anyway – the trio plays psychedelic electronic numbers alongside
punk anthems. Other highlights this year include indie rockers
Razz, who are guaranteed to provide a thrilling
live show, Berlin-based band Picture with its
highly fashionable brand of songwriter rock, and the high-energy
girls of Gurr. The line-up is rounded off with the
adventurous high-flyers Giant Rooks,
Abay, who describe their style as post-pop, The
Dead Lovers and The Rob Ryan
Roadshow, who like to surprise their live audiences.
But PureCrafted is so much more than a regular festival. In
addition to the music, the spacious outdoor area will once again
include an international custom bike show this year, as well as
acrobatic performances at the Original Motodrom –
guaranteed to send adrenalin levels shooting up to unprecedented
heights. In the architecturally impressive machine room of the Altes
Kraftwerk – a former power station – there will be familiar features
such as the General Store with its numerous
exhibitors and attractions as well as the Food Court
offering a diverse range of culinary delights to explore.
While music lovers get their money´s worth especially on
Saturday with the internationally renowned stage line-up, the Sunday
will focus somewhat more on the theme of motorcycle culture and New
Heritage lifestyle – so it’ll be time to pack up friends, family and
stuff and get out into the fresh air! PureCrafted invites
anyone with a sense of curiosity and adventure to savour the
uniquely relaxed festival atmosphere and round off the weekend with
an eventful day – complete with motorcycle ride-out and kids’
program. And the music is a key feature here too, of course: we can
look forward to some real musical gems on the Motodrom stage!
Festival tickets are now available for advance booking. The
ticket for both days costs € 24.00, the ticket for Saturday costs €
19.00 and the ticket for Sunday € 5.00.
