🇺🇦 Side-Line stands with Ukraine - Show your Support

It’s over and out for the Berlin based club K17. The people behind the club, famous for its EBM / Goth / industrial / metal music offering, call it a day so they announced on the German section of their website. On May 15 there will however be a farewell party (with free admission) to end in beauty, but the offices are already closed for good.

Nevertheless, several concerts/performances have been canceled including Lydia Benecke’s reading of “PsychopathINNEN – Tödliche Frauen” and the show by the dark wave act The Beauty of Gemina.

According to people working in the Berlin music scene a lot of employees had already left the organisation in February and March and the club’s concert calendar was rather empty. As such the closure does not really come as a surprise.

Since you’re here …

… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.

Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.

If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
