This year, Most Wanted: Music 2026 takes place from November 3–5 in Berlin under the theme: Rewire!

Three days to rethink how the music industry connects — between scene and economy, clubs and conference, creatives and companies, urban society and the international market. MW:M26 imagines music not as isolated panels and showcases, but as a living ecosystem: artists, labels, music clubs, publishers, tech players, networks, research, emerging talent, politics, and audiences all in one room.

Rewire! stands for rethinking existing structures, building unexpected alliances, and making Berlin visible as a hub of change, collaboration, and artistic renewal in the music industry.

When: 3–5 November 2026
Where: nhow Hotel Berlin & RAW-Gelände
Info: mwm-berlin.de

Most Wanted: Music is run by @berlinmusiccommission.

Berlin’s most wanted Convention & Showcase Festival — shaped by two program leads with sharp curatorial visions for 2026.

Convention | nhow Hotel Berlin

Lindi Delight returns as Programme Director and develops the curatorial line of MW:M further. The focus: formats that don’t just present content, but enable real encounters — keynotes, fishbowls, roundtables, workshops, research impulses, and collaborative sessions, bringing together voices from music, technology, culture, science, politics, and business.

Club Festival | RAW-Gelände, Berlin-Friedrichshain

Jean-Paul Mendelsohn takes the lead as Head of Most Wanted: Music Club Festival. As a music manager, creative strategist, and consultant working with artists like ÄTNA and Inéz, he brings two nights of new music, curated discoveries, and strong live moments across three venues: House of Music, Cassiopeia, and Badehaus. The focus: acts of tomorrow, professional artist development, and live concepts with international reach.

Most Wanted: Music is run by @berlinmusiccommission.

Copenhagen’s BOABOA are bringing their electronic live energy to MW:M Club Festival 2026, presented by @spotfestival. ⚡

The Copenhagen-based trio, made up of Otto Høgh, Amma Raastoff and Oscar Bjerrehuus, are behind one of the most exciting new electronic projects coming out of the Nordics.

Blending house, techno and melodic pop, @boaboamusic create electronic music that feels equally emotional and built for the dancefloor. Think big melodic moments, raw energy and club-focused production, with a sound that sits somewhere between Swedish House Mafia, Fred again.. and the darker edge of Claptone, ZHU and PAX.

If you’re into electronic live acts that bring both feeling and serious energy, put BOABOA on your list.

Catch them live at MW:M Club Festival 2026, alongside many more exciting artists from Berlin and beyond.

Technology is changing how music is made, shared and experienced. But where does it actually create value for creativity? ⚡

From AI and immersive experiences to new production tools and decentralised platforms, technology is becoming part of the infrastructure of music.

At MW:M26, we are taking a closer look at the questions behind the hype: Who is new technology for? Who controls it? And what does it make possible for artists and creatives?

The vertical NEXTTECH explores what happens when technology meets creative practice, policy and the realities of the music industry.

Tech is the infrastructure. What we do with it is up to us.
