Experience Dhafer Youssef live on July 30th

Dhafer Youssef will perform at the Main Hall Gasometer Schöneberg in Berlin on July 30, 2026. Youssef is a Tunisian oud player and vocalist known for his distinctive blend of jazz, Arabic classical music, and Sufi traditions. His compositions frequently incorporate improvisation and explore themes of spirituality and cultural dialogue. He often utilizes vocal techniques including *ghnaoua* influences alongside his instrumental prowess.

The Gasometer Schöneberg, originally built in 1874 as a gas holder for the city of Berlin, was converted into a cultural venue in the 1970s. The Main Hall within the Gasometer is a significant concert space recognized for its unique architectural acoustics stemming from its circular form and industrial past. It has hosted a diverse range of musical performances, encompassing genres like jazz, world music, classical, and electronic music. The building underwent extensive renovation in the early 2000s to modernize its facilities while preserving its historical character. The venue is noted for offering intimate concert experiences due to its relatively small capacity compared to other major Berlin halls. Its location in Schöneberg places it within a historically vibrant district of Berlin known for its artistic community.
