While Tallinn is holding the title of the European Capital of Culture for this year, we bring a taste of this special vibe to Berlin, when 7-9th September the Estonian Music & Design Café will be open to all Popkomm visitors, offering a relaxed setting for meetings on Estonian design furniture, carpets and pillows as well as an a ’la carte menu of Estonian music and a guided tour through Estonian music events, organizations and key players.

On Thursday, 8th September at 19:30 Tallinn Music Week will kick off a small festival in Berlin, by presenting 4 artists through the night – all of them success stories from the previous TMW festival – the wild and experimental prog rock-techno-freak-out ensemble Kreatiivmootor, winners of the TMW’s prestigious Skype Award 2011 Ewert & the Two Dragons, the guitar rockers Aides and sunny indie kids French Films from Finland.

Tallinn Music Week will be back 29-31 March 2012 to welcome you all to early springtime in Tallinn during three nights full of fantastic music in Tallinn’s best venues for the most demanding tastes: from world music and jazz to punk and electro, from classical music to metal and anything in between and two days full of music industry discussions – seminars, workshops and networking.
