Info
The location of U2's second gig in Berlin – on 04 November 1981 they played their first German TV gig for the WDR show Rockpalast. In front of a mere 350 fans (with a capacity of 2000) the band played a mixed set, broadcast to the public on 06 March 1982. Starting in the golden 1920es the Metropol had been planned and used as a theatre, cabaret, musical hall, cinema and much more. OOnly towards the end of the 1970es it was also used for dance and concert events. For a short time there was an upper-class club inside, that went bankrupt after a few months. Since then, concerts or parties have taken place in the building on an irregular basis.
In 2019 it reopened under its original name Metropol with various events.
