APPARATSCHIK in Berlin 14 February 2026

APPARATSCHIK is a legendary Berlin band, founded more than 35 years ago and has become one of the brightest and most recognizable live projects of the European club and festival scene.

Oleg Matrosov - vocals, balalaika
Mishka Bayanchik - button accordion, back-vocals
Favorite Pashka - bass balalaika, backing vocals
