Experience The Bad Plus live on July 23rd

The Bad Plus will perform at Sky Bar Gasometer Schöneberg in Berlin, Germany on July 23, 2026. The Bad Plus is a jazz trio known for their unconventional approach to the genre, blending elements of post-bop improvisation with influences from rock, pop, and classical music. Formed in Minneapolis in 2000, the group initially gained recognition for their deconstructed interpretations of popular songs by artists like Nirvana and Blondie alongside original compositions. Their instrumentation consists of piano, double bass, and drums, and they are characterized by dynamic interplay and a distinctive harmonic language.

Sky Bar Gasometer Schöneberg is located within a historic gas holder station originally constructed in the late 19th century. The structure was decommissioned as a gasworks in the 1970s and subsequently repurposed as a cultural venue. The building’s industrial architecture is a defining feature of the space. Over time it has hosted diverse events including concerts, exhibitions and club nights. It’s known for its unique atmosphere created by the combination of historical industrial design and modern event production. The venue offers both indoor and outdoor spaces for performances depending on weather conditions.
