Peter Fox puts on another free show

Yesterday evening (21 September), Berlin musician Peter Fox (“Haus am See”, 53) attracted so many fans to the Görlitzer Park in Kreuzberg with his second free spontaneous concert in the capital that admission had to be stopped before the show even began. According to newspaper reports, several thousand people were there, and other fans enjoyed the free show, which had been announced just one day earlier, from the balconies and roofs of the surrounding houses.

The concert in the park, often affectionately referred to as “Görli”, followed a first free concert three weeks ago in the municipal Columbia pool in Berlin-Neukölln. In the summer, the pool hit the headlines due to fights and outbreaks of violence. Görlitzer Park also does not have the best reputation, not least because of its high density of drug dealers.

Positive vibes against negative headlines

With his free concert series, Peter Fox wants to counteract the negative headlines surrounding these social hotspots with something positive and, last but not least, make it clear that these are by no means “no-go areas”.

After yesterday's concert event in Görli, which was characterized by a good atmosphere and peacefulness, Peter Fox thanked the residents for their patience in an Instagram story. At the same time, he announced another free concert for this Sunday, which is apparently intended to be the conclusion of the concert series.

This time we're going to Pallasstrasse in Berlin-Schöneberg, which for a long time was also considered a social hotspot. Another “block party” is scheduled to take place there in the open air from 7 p.m.
