Das 1. Kinderhofkonzert im Schokoladen startet gleich mit einem absoluten Highlight.
Sukini live auf der Bühne mit Band und jetzt könnt ihr endlich mal eure Kinder mit zum Schokoladen nehmen!
Sukini:
Ehrlich, direkt, unmittelbar – so erlebt Sukini all jene vor allem jüngeren Menschen, die ihr bei Konzerten begegnen. Ehrlich, direkt und unmittelbar ist auch ihr Umgang mit dem Publikum. Anstelle von künstlichen Inszenierungen und schnelllebigen Musikprodukten wählt Sukini einen anderen Weg: Themen, die ihrer Lebensrealität und der Auseinandersetzung mit Gegenwartsdiskussionen entspringen, sowie künstlerische Entscheidungen, die über kommerzielle gestellt werden.
Ehrlich, direkt, unmittelbar zeigt sich auch der Song „Da haben wir den Salat“. Immer wieder hätten sich Kinder bei ihren Konzerten ein Lied über Tiere gewünscht. Entstanden ist nun ein veganer Song über das Tiere-(Nicht)essen, der Tierrechte und die Wichtigkeit von Tierwohl altersgerecht vermittelt.
Politisch nachhaltig: Musik, die Zeit braucht und Zeit gibt.
Bitte vergesst den Gehörschutz für euren Kinder nicht.
Kinder 0-4 Jahre zahlen keinen Eintritt!

HOON: From organising their own mini festival’s and touring nationally and internationally, to playing in alleyways and in front of churches; Hoon have developed a chaotic neutral between composure and compulsion. With their overly-animated live shows punctuated by relentless punk-dynamics and uncompromising on-stage energy, Hoon are a band who frequently skirt the line between the maniacal and total mayhem, with a punk-rock attitude to match.
Leaving no stone unturned, their debut studio album ‘Australian Dream’ captures this live performance energy synchronised with their chaotic song writing on record for the first time, deliberating life in modern Australia over 11 intense tracks. Produced at The Brain Studios Sydney with Clayton Segelov, sonically the record ricochets between the crucial sounds of ‘90s rock pioneers, to surf punk thrillers and dynamic five-minute progressive ballads with hints of psychedelia and sludge metal.Their style has evolved to a true-blue garage punk sound that pays homage to their predecessors - all while remaining distinctly contemporary. Signposted lyrically with equal parts sociological commentary to Australian political critique, Hoon holds a mirror to their country with a laugh and a beer.
With new music, an Australian tour, the third edition of their self presented 10 venue one day festival 'The Gong Crawl' and their second European tour. 2025 is set to raise new hell for Hoon and they're having it large.

"Handys raus, Laptops raus, kommt alle raus - Morgen Teuer Töten macht Sommerschlussverkauf im Winter. Die Band schallt mit ihrem Debütalbum "Not Available" den alltäglichen Wahnsinn direkt in eure Ohren. Mit bissigen Songtexten stürzen sich Morgen Teuer Töten auf die belanglose Trendgesellschaft, bis diese schreiend vor der Supermarktkasse liegt. Versucht nicht sie zurückzuhalten: Sie müssen hier vorbei. Ihre Songs sind so ohrwurmverdächtig, dass man sie nach dem Konzert noch unter der Dusche mitgrölt – und so schamlos, dass sogar die Seife rot wird. Es gibt gute Musik, es gibt Scheißmusik und es gibt Morgen Teuer Töten."
Come early, stay late—this one’s going to be something special!
M:Soundtrack + African Beats & Pieces prsts: Lollise (NYC / Botswana) + Adelle Nqeto (Bln/ South Africa) + DJ Mixanthrope
Thrilled to welcome Lollise (NYC/Botswana) to the Schokoladen stage!
Her vibrant energy, infectious beats, and radiant presence promise an unforgettable night—get ready to smile, move, and dance!
Opening the evening is the brilliant Adelle Nqeto, a Berlin-based South African artist whose soulful voice and unique take on alternative African folk left our Café Chocolat audience spellbound. We’re so excited to have her back—she’s truly one of a kind, and we can’t wait for you to experience her magic.
The night is co-curated by M:Soundtrack and African Beats & Pieces, a Berlin event series dedicated since 2017 to music made in Africa and throughout its diaspora.
To top it all off, DJ Mixanthrope will be behind the decks with an eclectic mix of rhythms and grooves to keep the energy flowing all night long.
Come early, stay late—this one’s going to be something special!
Lollise is a musician, visual artist and fashion designer from Botswana, currently living in NYC.
Using sound, color and movement, Lollise tells stories of real and imagined worlds,
multidimensional and nuanced, historical and futuristic. She performs with a potent energy and
commitment to the music, in body and in spirit. Lollise creates hybrid songs for this moment,
taking influence from the music she grew up with – Setswana and Kalanga folk songs, '80s and
'90s South African electronic bubblegum and kwaito, Congolese soukous and Zimbabwean
sungura – and the music she has been exposed to in New York, including Afrobeat, new wave,
and art-pop.
Adelle Nqeto's music stems from the gaze of an introverted observer with a passion for melody and stories. Rooted in South African folk and exploring Jazz, Indie and Pop sensibilities, the Berlin-based musician’s work expresses the beauty and complexity in our human reality. Quite fittingly, her music style has been labelled as “Alternative African Folk”.
African Beats & Pieces is a regular event series in Berlin dedicated since 2017 to the music made in Africa and throughout its diaspora. DJ mixes celebrating music from Africa & its diaspora beyond the mainstream since 2017. Curated by Boris Paillard/ DJ Mixanthrope -- @african_beats_and_pieces

»Minor Citizen is a three-piece rock band from Amsterdam with a big mouth. With a raw mix of hard rock and grungepop, the band is comparable to great acts like Triggerfinger, Queens of the Stone Age, and IDLES.
With an EP produced by Mario Goossens from Triggerfinger, they traveled around the
Netherlands during Popronde. They attracted a lot of attention as one of the most booked acts, with an energetic live show that managed to whip up every single audience.
New music is set to be released in the fall of 2025. Sweat, headbanging, and a voice reminiscent of Chris Cornell. We'll see you in the moshpit.«

Gob is a legendary Canadian punk band from Vancouver, British Columbia, known for their
infectious, hook-laden sound and relentless DIY ethic. As they approach their 30th anniversary, Gob’s
influence on the punk scene remains undeniable. The band first gained prominence in 1995 with their hit
“Soda” from the album Too Late… No Friends, which became a youth anthem in Canada, thanks in part to its
iconic music video which received heavy rotation on Canada’s Muchmusic.
Over the years, Gob has released six full-length albums, sold over 300,000 physical copies, and earned
Juno nominations and Gold record certifications. Their singles “I Hear You Calling” and “Give Up the Grudge”
further solidified their place in punk rock history. Known for their energetic live shows, Gob has performed
worldwide, including major festivals like Warped Tour, Edgefest, and Amnesia Rockfest. They are one of the
rare punk bands to have had the honor of gracing the stage at Budokan in Japan.

A staple of the Toronto scene for over a decade, The Anti-Queens are an ultra-hard-working, punked-up rock 'n' roll quartet. They've become infamous in their hometown of Toronto for their insanely high-energy, take-no-prisoners live performances.
The Anti-Queens released their second LP, DISENCHANTED, in May 2024 – produced by Dave ‘Brownsound’ Baksh and Steve Rizun. The band has previously self-released two stellar EPs (Grow Up/Stay Young and Start Running) and their killer full-length debut on Stomp Records in the fall of 2019.
Mit Jung kaputt spart Altersheime lieferten Bärchen und die Milchbubis zu Beginn der 80er-Jahre DEN Punk-Slogan der Zeit, „No Future!“, war das Motto. Doch auch über den Punk hinaus verfügte die Band über reichlich Pop-Appeal und agierte an der Schnittstelle zur Neuen Deutschen Welle. Ich will nicht älter werden, hieß es auf ihrem Debütalbum Dann macht es Bumm (1981). Älter geworden sind sie, milde jedoch nicht, denn Anlass zum Wütend-Sein und Feiern gibt es noch immer. Über 40 Jahre später folgt nun mit ihrem zweiten Album also Die Rückkehr des Bumm!
Ende der Siebziger begannen Annette „Bärchen“ Simons und eine Gruppe Teenager-„Milchbubis“, Hannover unsicher zu machen. Von da an war die Band mit ihren humorvoll-subversiven Texten breitflächig vertreten: Von Jugendzentren, Underground-Tapes und nischigen Fanzines über die Bravo bis ins BRD-Fernsehen sowie auf den großen Bühnen des Landes – viele waren dem Bärchen-Charme verfallen. Nach einer LP und einer EP folgte 1983 mit der Label- auch die Bandauflösung und die Gruppe verschwand vorerst von der Bildfläche.
Und jetzt sind sie wieder da, und natürlich auch im Schokoladen Berlin!
