The story

AL.FESTIVAL is an annual multidisciplinary festival held in TBA, Varied, celebrating contemporary SWANA (South West Asia and North Africa) music, art, and culture. The festival includes film screenings, workshops, discussions, and concerts, featuring artists from the region and its diasporas. This year marks the seventh edition, featuring three main events: an opening night at 90MIL, a club night at ACUD CLUB, and a grand finale at Festsaal Kreuzberg.

AL.FESTIVAL. is a film screenings, club nights festival at TBA - VARIOUS in TBA, Varied. The October 2026 edition runs 2–2 Oct 2026.

Announced so far: 3yooni, Abadir, Adira, Amuleto Manuela, Badiaa Bouhrizi, BLTNM: Fawzi & SMOKAHOLIC, Hathayan هذيان and Ingrid Hideki and 18 more. Expect stages split between film screenings and club nights.

Everything happens at TBA - VARIOUS, in TBA. Berlin · 0 km · about 0 min is the organiser's practical nearby base for accommodation and transfers to the festival site.

AL.FESTIVAL. keeps the same calendar slot each year: October 2026 for this edition, opening on a Friday and closing on a Friday. It falls in autumn, after the summer circuit closes, when flights and rooms come back down in price. That slot matters for the budget — flights and rooms in TBA are priced for the festival weekend, not the week around it, so shifting your arrival by a day often saves more than any ticket tier does.

• Opening Night on October 2nd at 90MIL
• Club Night on October 3rd at ACUD CLUB
• Grand Finale on October 10th featuring multiple stages at Festsaal Kreuzberg
• Workshops, talks, and film screenings included
• Variety of performances from artists across the globe and diaspora

What the trip costs from Paris

No ticket price is published for this edition yet, so the total below covers travel and a bed only. It updates automatically as soon as the organiser opens sales.

Planning the trip, step by step

1. 1Book the ticket first: tiers at AL.FESTIVAL. are sold in waves and the cheapest wave is gone long before the line-up is complete.
2. 2Then price the travel from Paris — Cinderella compares train, bus, car and flight for the same dates, and the cheapest option is not always the obvious one.
3. 3Reserve 2 nights rather than 1: the last night of a festival almost always ends after the last train home.
4. 4Follow AL.FESTIVAL. on Cinderella to be emailed when a ticket price drops or a new tier opens.
