Berlin Manson

Berlin Manson are a Slovak synth-punk phenomenon shaking up Eastern Europe’s underground. Their socially charged, no-compromise lyrics and explosive live shows have turned them into one of the most talked-about acts in Slovakia and Czech republic.

They first caught national attention with their breakout single “Netancujem, kývem hlavou” (“I Don’t Dance, I Nod My Head”), a raw anthem of disillusionment that resonated with a young generation. In 2022, they were named Discovery of the Year at the prestigious Radio_Head Awards, and just a year later their album Hotel Kyjev cemented their cult status. By 2025, Berlin Manson had taken home three Radio_Head Awards, confirming their position as leaders of Slovakia’s radical new wave.

In the past two years alone, they’ve released three albums — a relentless burst of creativity blending punk urgency, dark humor, and cold synth textures. Their music speaks to a post-industrial reality, equal parts protest and party.

This year they played among other gigs also some major festivals as a Sziget in Hungary, OFF festival in Poland, Pohoda festival in Slovakia, Colours of Ostrava in Czech republic or Eurosonic Noorderslag in Netherlands. Promo pictures attached
