IFA 2026: Ikkimel & Friends live at IFA Sommergarten

Berlin, 18 May 2026 – IFA 2026 expands the Sommergarten line-up with another major act: “Ikkimel & Friends Open Air” will once again perform live on the Sommergarten stage on Friday, 5 September 2026. Following BUNT. and Luciano, IFA announces its third music act. After her acclaimed performance in 2025, the Berlin-based artist returns to the exhibition grounds with her high-energy blend of trap and techno.


German rap meets IFA: pop culture and technology belong together

In 2026, the IFA Sommergarten once again demonstrates what IFA stands for: innovation meets pop culture. While technologies from around the world are showcased inside the exhibition halls, an open-air experience unfolds outside – bringing together families, young music fans and visitors alike. With this, IFA reinforces its ambition to be not only a hotspot for digital trends and technologies, but also a stage for the music culture of the next generation – a place where technology, entertainment and lifestyle come together. Together with special guests, IFA once again brings a festival feeling to the heart of Berlin, reflecting the energy and cultural relevance shaping Gen Z and Gen Alpha today.

“IFA stands for innovation – but also for what brings people together. With our open-air format, we create an energetic experience that brings technology and culture together and appeals particularly to the younger generation. The Sommergarten attracts people to IFA who would not otherwise visit the trade fair: around 50 per cent of Sommergarten visitors also visit IFA. We are delighted that Ikkimel & Friends are back on the Sommergarten open-air stage,” says Leif Lindner, CEO of IFA Management GmbH.

Successful Sommergarten concept to be continued

Following the success of 2024 and 2025 with over 45.000 visitors in total and show acts such as Bryan Adams, 6PM Festival, Deine Cousine, EVIL JARED x KROGI, Berlin newcomer Sorvina, Danilo Timm & Anne and many more; the IFA will continue to host concerts in the Sommergarten in 2026.
