There is generally a good selection of pop and rock concerts in the city, and while some of the larger venues have by now announced what will be on, many smaller-scale venues often arrange their programmes late. Thus the list is doomed to always be incomplete, but there are plenty of Berlin magazines you can pick up when you arrive, which will list that week's events.
You can also check the programmes for yourself closer to the date of the IAU Symposium and in many cases purchase tickets online, by going to the various individual websites listed below. Further information on prices, telephone numbers, and so on, can generally be found online.
If you need help translating information that is given only in German (several sites provide English versions, but not all), please contact a member of the LOC. For obvious reasons, we will not be able to make bookings or purchase tickets on your behalf.
That having been said, if there's an event listed here you really want to go to, of course it would be best to buy tickets in advance, to avoid disappointment.
This list will updated periodically, up to the time of the meeting.
