Underground rock mainstays Crocodiles are set to descend upon Berlin for a live performance at Neue Zukunft on Friday, 30 October, 2026.

Formed in San Diego in 2008 by lifelong friends Brandon Welchez and Charles Rowell, the band has spent nearly two decades carving out a reputation for delivering uncompromised, dirty rock’n’roll. Their distinct sound blends fuzzed-out guitars, psychedelic feedback loops, and a gritty garage-punk attitude with infectious, sharp pop melodies - drawing frequent stylistic comparisons to heavyweights like The Jesus and Mary Chain, The Velvet Underground, and The Stooges.

The Berlin date is part of their latest European tour, bringing their notoriously chaotic and high-energy live show back to a city that has long embraced their decadent aesthetic. Known for transitioning seamlessly from the lo-fi fuzz of their breakout debut Summer of Hate to the more polished pop textures of later releases, the duo expands into a ferocious multi-piece lineup on stage to fully recreate their wall of sound.

Shybits is an international post-punk trio based in Berlin, formed in 2017. They blend 90s alternative rock, post-punk, and cold-wave into a catchy, nostalgic "fuzzy feel-good" sound. Following their 2018 debut EP Idiot Like You, the band released their acclaimed first album Body Lotion in 2022 and their sophomore record What’s That? in late 2024. They have toured extensively across Europe and opened for prominent acts like Yard Act, Gurr, and Art Brut, while also performing on platforms like WDR Rockpalast and NPR's World Cafe.
