At our traditional A STRANGE NIGHT at Frannz Club in Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg, we celebrate Robert Smith’s birthday and two musical milestones at once: 40 years of The Cure – “Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me” and 40 years of Depeche Mode – “Music for the Masses”.

Two dance floors await you with a dark, danceable night of The Cure, Depeche Mode, post-punk, dark ’80s & beyond.

On the decks: Knüpfi, Psycho-Jones & Wilco – with a hefty dose of classics, scene favourites and musical companions from four decades of dark club culture. 🖤

About A Strange Night

A Strange Night in Berlin: a night between The Cure, Depeche Mode, post-punk, dark ’80s, synth-pop, EBM and the darker sides of new wave. Two album anniversaries, two floors, one mixtape – and music that has been with us for decades.

The party takes place at Frannz Club in the Kulturbrauerei on Schönhauser Allee in Prenzlauer Berg, right next to Eberswalder Straße U-Bahn station (U2). Here you’ll find all upcoming dates with date, time, DJs and floors, plus the Facebook event and flyer.
