Experience Richard Bona live on July 20th

Richard Bona will perform at Main Hall Gasometer Schöneberg in Berlin on July 20, 2026. Bona is a Cameroonian-American bassist, vocalist, and composer renowned for his distinctive blend of jazz, African rhythms, and Latin influences. His music frequently incorporates elements of his native Bassa music tradition alongside sophisticated harmonic structures and improvisational prowess. Throughout his career, he has collaborated with a diverse range of artists including Pat Metheny, Quincy Jones, and Wayne Shorter.

The Gasometer Schöneberg’s Main Hall is a historically significant venue located within a former gasworks complex. Originally constructed in the late 19th century as part of the Berlin Gaswerke AG, the building underwent extensive renovation in the 1970s transforming it into a cultural center. The hall itself is characterized by its unique industrial architecture – a circular space dominated by the original gas holder structure – contributing to its distinct acoustics. It has since become known for hosting a wide variety of performances including concerts across multiple genres, theatrical productions and events. The venue is recognized for its preservation of industrial heritage alongside its function as a contemporary performance space.
