The SO36 is an iconic punk and alternative music venue, often likened to New York’s famed “CBGB”. The club takes its name from the area’s postcode – SO stands for Südost (‘South East’). Since the late 1970s, it’s been a cultural hub, hosting concerts, parties, and events, shaping Berlin’s vibrant underground scene.
SO36 was a regular haunt for Bowie and Iggy Pop during their time in Berlin, where the two iconic musicians explored Berlin’s alternative music scene.
