Kraftwerk Berlin hosts 30-hour ‘The Infinite Now’ with beds for sale

Kraftwerk Berlin will host a 30-hour continuous event in May, with beds, hammocks and soft listening spaces available for purchase. Notably, ‘The Infinite Now‘ runs as a collaboration between Berlin Atonal and Unsound across May 16 and 17. Meanwhile, the event treats sleep as a condition of listening rather than an interruption to it.

The format spans Saturday evening through to Sunday midnight. Berlin Atonal and Unsound have built the programme inside the former Soviet-era power station. In turn, more than 20 artists will perform across the full stretch of night, day and night again.

Crucially, the bed-pass tier is what makes the event truly distinct. The 30-Hour Pass plus Bed grants unlimited access from 19:00 on Saturday May 16 through to midnight Sunday. Hammocks and soft floor spaces sit throughout the venue. Furthermore, attendees can drift between performance spaces, listening areas and rest zones across the full window.

The premise reframes club programming entirely. Equally, the experience plays out as a long-form audiovisual journey rather than a sequence of headline sets. Sleep, attention and movement all become part of the listening experience.

Berlin Atonal has long programmed the deeper, more conceptual end of the European electronic calendar. Still, the 30-hour format with on-site beds marks one of the most ambitious physical-experience moves the festival has staged. Unsound’s Krakow programming has also pushed similar long-form thinking.

Tickets sit across multiple tiers. In short, attendees can pick the 30-hour overnight pass with bed, the standard 30-hour pass, separate Sunday concert tickets, or single Prelude event entries. The full ticket structure is live now.

Finally, ‘The Infinite Now’ lands May 16 and 17 at Kraftwerk Berlin. The event extends the venue’s run as one of the world’s most ambitious immersive electronic spaces, with the programme designed to meet the building’s scale.
