KRSN will play a warm-up set at Arena on Saturday. On top of this, the Berlin Debate will be held at Berlin Festival discussing the various facets of intellectual property. Alongside the Art Village and the Poetry Saloon, various charities, and the record label & design market will be new additions to the site at Tempelhof.
