Lunchbeat Berlin

The seed was planted in Sweden, Stockholm, now it’s a global “movement”. Movement in a double meaning since in many cities worldwide the idea grew and since it is about moving. Your body. In your lunchbreak. To music in a club. That’s lunchbeat.

Simple and funny, it started in a parking lot in Stockholm and tomorrow, thursday 31st of May will see the first global and livestream-connected lunchbeat where people dance, have some food and drinks (water is for free).

“The tribe becomes one” is the motto and Berlin will see its lunchbeat at ZMF, Brunnenstr. 10, it starts at 1pm. Here is the Facebook event.

Disclosure: GoStockholmGoeteborg and VisitSweden support this event and my company P3000 works for them.
