ÜBERJAZZ Festival Thursday

Since 2010, the ÜBERJAZZ FESTIVAL has been showcasing how jazz, soul, hip-hop, ambient, and other cutting-edge styles come together to create forward-looking music – typically across four Kampnagel halls, all accessible with a single ticket. Starting this fall, Kampnagel will be undergoing renovations and will, for a period of 18 months, only be hosting shows in the large Hall K6 (in addition to various city-wide performances). Therefore, the 2026 ÜBERJAZZ FESTIVAL will take place in a special format: over three days, ÜBERJAZZ will present multiple concerts each evening in Hall K6 in a unique setup. The ÜBERJAZZ concept of strolling through musical worlds of the future remains – concentrated in a single hall with multiple acts in one evening. Information on further festival days: FRIDAY, SATURDAY.

LINE-UP THURSDAY

MOVE 78 are a five-piece Berlin-based band whose unique signature-sound is a blend of improvised jazz, drum-heavy hip-hop and experimental audio collage blurring the lines between live musical interaction and technology. At ÜBERJAZZ they’ll be joined by Angola-born, Lisbon-raised and also Berlin-based singer MONICA MUSSUNGO, who has collaborated with them frequently in recent years. 

ORACULU is the hybrid-jazz project of Berlin-based producer and musician Two Thou. Rooted in jazz but unbound by it, Oraculu is a live organism, where drum machines and synthesizers lock in with horns and voice in a sound that is both deeply structured and wildly alive. Born from spiritual electronics, improvisation, and dance-floor instincts, the project brings together an international cast of jazz artists like UK tuba-don Theon Cross, weaving horns, voice,and drums into a ritual that moves between the meditative and the euphoric.
