Ever dreamt of partying in an iconic spot filled with rich history? Berlin's nightlife scene just got a whole lot brighter with the birth of Turbulence, a pulsating nightclub and cultural venue situated in the legendary premises of the former Tegel Airport. This unique party haven emerges right from the heart of what was once the airport's buzzing canteen, brought to life by a squad of six community-loving creatives. Their mission? To sprinkle new magic on Berlin’s club scene, which faced a quiet spell following a string of club closures in recent times.
Turbulence isn’t just your typical nightclub. It's a lively cultural hub crafted with a touch of inclusivity and accessibility, making every soul feel right at home. The masterminds behind Turbulence joined forces with Initiative Barrierefrei Feiern, a group dedicated to crafting barrier-free and pocket-friendly events. They've rolled out the red carpet, offering barrier-free entry and special arrangements for those with hearing or vision challenges. Right from the get-go, an Awareness Team is at your service at the entrance, addressing any accessibility or discrimination worries, showcasing Turbulence's pledge to being a haven for all.
Catch the Beat Under the Open Sky
The club unfurls a massive outdoor space spanning 3,747 square meters, where live music and DJ beats marry visual artistry, creating a celestial party atmosphere. And guess what? There’s a cool corner for ping pong enthusiasts too! Its maiden event, “LIFTOFF”, that rocked the city on September 30, echoed the club’s spirit of inclusive and barrier-free partying, embellished with engaging workshops, enthralling performances, and a night-long rave.
Although the headcount is sweetly capped at 700 to keep the vibes cozy, the doors are wide open to all, with no entry fee, mirroring its core ethos of accessibility.
Dive into a Musical Odyssey
Every beat that echoes through Turbulence is carefully chosen, with a lineup of artists that stand tall against discrimination, resonating the club’s vision of inclusivity and community bonding. The inaugural bash, “Lift Off”, showcased stellar artists like Mareena, Philipp Johan Thimm, Lisbird, Saraab, with an electrifying back-to-back set by Zebra Katz and S Ruston, painting a vibrant musical canvas.
But Turbulence isn’t just a star under the moonlight. As dawn breaks, it morphs into a lively hub hosting live music, creative workshops, and captivating art installations, only to transition back into a throbbing nightclub as the twilight sets in. This round-the-clock charm amplifies Turbulence’s allure, making it a crucible for artistic and cultural melding in Berlin.
With its captivating location, inclusive mantra, and a kaleidoscope of events, Turbulence is swiftly soaring as a symbol of Berlin’s resilient and ever-evolving party scene. It mirrors the city’s unyielding spirit of creativity and community, destined to become a beloved spot for Berliners and the global fraternity of music aficionados and artists.
