FOUND: Berlin's new 8,500-capacity venue opens its doors

Berlin has a new techno temple

FOUND has officially opened its doors in Tempelhof-Schöneberg, establishing itself as one of the most ambitious underground spaces in the German electronic scene. With a capacity of 8,500 people, the venue represents the most significant investment in electronic music in the German capital in recent years.

A recovered historical legacy

The space now occupied by FOUND carries weight in Berlin's history. Between 2001 and 2004, the legendary KitKatClub wrote crucial chapters in the German techno and rave scene from this exact location. The reopening under a new identity marks the recovery of a sacred place for hard electronic music enthusiasts.

Cinematic debut: Watergate at the opening

For the opening, they didn't choose just any project. Watergate, one of the most respected labels and references in Berlin techno, was entrusted with marking the beginning of this new era. A marathon session that served as a full-blown presentation of a space aspiring to become a mandatory reference point for European hard techno, industrial, and schranz.

World-class infrastructure

With 8,500 capacity, FOUND positions itself among the largest venues specializing in electronics across the continent. Investment in infrastructure, acoustics, and sound systems reflects the seriousness of the project. It's not simply about expanding, but creating a complete ecosystem where industrial, hard techno, and rave find their most powerful expression.

What to expect

FOUND's opening represents a clear statement of intent: Berlin remains the undisputed capital of European electronics. While other cities lose mythical spaces, the German capital is betting big on recovering and expanding its underground heritage.

This is the news the international techno community was waiting for. A new colossus where the most radical electronic music can breathe freely.
