Pop-Kultur Nachwuchs is back – and in 2025, it’s more connected, hands-on, and future-focused than ever.

On 25 and 26 August 2025, we’re turning silent green in Berlin-Wedding into a vibrant Pop-Kultur Campus. There, 150 emerging talents from around the world will meet artists from the Pop-Kultur festival line-up, as well as experts from the music industry, politics, and the creative economy.

In over 40 workshops, lectures, and networking sessions, international professionals will share personal insights into their work and offer valuable know-how on building a career in pop music. But it’s not just about panels – it’s about real conversations, meaningful exchanges, and yes, trading numbers too.

Key themes in 2025:

Music Business – funding, management, release strategies, branding
Practical Skills – production, songwriting, performance
Music-Tech & Innovation – AI, tools, platform strategies
Health & Self-Care – mental health, prevention, body work
