Hey there, adventure seekers! Welcome to Things to do in Berlin, and what a day we've got lined up for you on this crisp Friday, October 17th, 2025! I'm Ollie Bennett, your globe-trotting guide to all things exciting, and trust me, Berlin is absolutely buzzing right now. The autumn air is perfect for exploring, and the city is alive with energy as events kick off across every corner of this incredible metropolis.
Let's dive straight into what's happening today! If you're into heavy metal and hard rock, you absolutely cannot miss Arch Enemy taking the stage at Columbiahalle tonight, joined by Amorphis, Eluveitie, and Gatecreeper. This lineup is absolutely massive, and it's going to be one of those nights where the walls shake and your ears ring for days in the best possible way.
For those of you who dig thought-provoking discussions, there's a fascinating lecture happening at the Zeiss-Großplanetarium at half past nine this morning. It's part of Berlin Freedom Week 2025, exploring the big question: what remains when freedom is lost? Heavy stuff, but incredibly relevant and worth your time.
Art lovers, listen up! The contemporary art scene is exploding right now with exhibitions opening everywhere. The Gropius Bau just opened two incredible shows yesterday that you can catch today: Diane Arbus: Konstellationen, featuring the legendary photographer's work, and Ligia Lewis's I'M NOT HERE FORRRRR, both running through January 2026. Plus, Galerie Z22 is showcasing Ukrainian artist Olena Klochko's Inside the Schrödinger Box, a powerful exploration of existence and consciousness that runs through October 25th.
If you're looking for something quirky tonight, head to Spandauer Havelufer where Folkadu is performing at MS Goldberg at half past seven. And party people, there's a Taylor Swift-themed sing-along experience at Bricks Club starting at eight tonight. Trust me, even if you're not a Swiftie, the energy at these events is infectious!
Now for some local intel: the Treptower Herbst festival is still going strong through Sunday at Treptower Park with over 100 exhibitors, rides for kids, and four stages of entertainment. It's running from two until ten today, and it's the perfect family outing.
Here's a local tip for you: Berlin is hosting the ESMO Congress 2025, one of the world's biggest oncology conferences, at Messe Berlin from today through Tuesday. This means the city is packed with international scientists and medical professionals, so public transport might be busier than usual, and some restaurants around the convention center will be hopping with fascinating conversations if you fancy some people-watching over coffee.
Looking ahead to tomorrow, Saturday promises even more action with the Berlin Burlesque Festival continuing its incredible run at Wintergarten Varieté, plus more art openings and concerts across the city. You won't want to miss what's coming!
