Our most beloved and one of the most important clubs in berlin nightlife history in gerenal must close it’s doors due to gentrification. We are really sad and angry to loose one of the places to be. Please read the satement of the ICON Crew.

Dear Friends!
On January 1st, 2011, it’ s all over!

We’ re an institution in Berlin´s nightlife. A nightlife the city administration loves mentioning in its bid to attract tourists and investors. That brings the city money – but it brings us nothing. On January 1st, 2011, our license is being withdrawn.

A new appartment block has been built next door – modern living in Prenzlauer Berg – chic and expensive. Having a club as neighbours doesn’ t fit into that picture. There’ ve been too many complaints from the new residents, not due to loud music, but because of the people on the sidewalk. The authorities of Berlin´s Pankow district have decreed: we have to go.

That destroys another piece of Berlin’ s world-famous club culture.

Until the end of the year, we’ ll be soldiering on, inviting all our favourite DJs to rock our hallowed halls. On December 31st, 2010, there’ ll be one last “Icon goes …” . And we’ ll be dancing till we drop during the entire week leading up to that final event.

Meanwhile, we’ re working on new plans and ideas to keep our dream alive with the friends who’ ve accompanied us so far. We’ ll leave no stone unturned in our bid to find a new home for high-quality bookings beyond mainstream, false coolness and for the intimate atmosphere you’ ve come to expect.

Imagine life without: traveling, own opinions, freedom of choice, united families, direct democracy, fancy kickz, underground clubs, easy developping subculture! And now forget about the bad sides of our capitalistic dominated world for a minute and be happy that it turned out that peaceful way. Happy Birthday New Germany!
