Sanctum Of Sound Festival

Sanctum of Sound launches its first full-scale festival edition at MaHalla in Berlin, running continuously for 51 hours from July 3 to 5, 2026. Positioned at the intersection of ambient, experimental, electronic, exprimental, devotional and psychedelic music. The program unfolds across multiple environments, from large-scale halls to intimate listening spaces, where live performances, AV works and DJ sets move between concert, installation and durational formats.

Emerging from a Berlin-based series, Sanctum of Sound extends its focus on deep listening into a continuous format that blurs distinctions between day and night, rest and movement, audience and performer. Rather than a fixed schedule, the festival is structured as an open flow, allowing visitors to navigate the program at their own pace.

The lineup brings together pioneering figures, cross-disciplinary artists and a new generation of experimental musicians, spanning ambient, drone, minimalism and exploratory electronic practices. With its first edition, Sanctum of Sound proposes a different temporal logic for festivals, one that prioritises immersion, duration and attention over intensity and acceleration.
