Berlin Festival: The slow trickle in pictures

The Berlin Festival kicked off officially four hours ago, but the crowd has yet to show that Berlin's biggest indie fest is indeed that. The biggies start at 7pm but until then take a look at the festival has on offer for the masses yet to come.

While we listen to the Berliner Aidshilfe (our stand neighbours for at least three years running) play smash the condom ballon next door, the predictably young crowd is trickling in. Is it that they’re all partied out from a Thursday night or that all the euros obviously went to the big names (Blur, Pet Shop Boys, My Bloody Valentine and Bjork) and they can’t be bothered with showing up for the lesser knowns? Our money is on the latter. At any rate, the slow leak of attendees still promises to be a full crowd by the evening’s start. Check out what the festival has on offer for them at the link below.
