Berlin event inventory, in numbers
| Measure | Observed value |
|---|---|
| Upcoming public events | 2,630 |
| Active sources | 28 |

What the source split looks like
Resident Advisor was attached to 866 retained events, Siegessäule to 516, and Songkick to 411. Together, those three sources represented 1,793 events, or 68.2 percent of the index. Adding Berliner Festspiele and Eventbrite brought the top five to 2,182 events, or 83.0 percent. The other 23 sources contributed 448 retained events.
This distribution explains why an open question such as "what should we do tonight?" is different from searching one ticket platform or one scene publication. Each source has its own editorial scope, venue relationships, geography, and publishing workflow. A cross-source index can compare those partial views in one place.
What deduplication changed
Dizko observed 2,745 source records during the reporting window and retained 2,630 canonical events. The 115-record difference represents source records consolidated into an existing event, equal to 4.2 percent of observed source records. This is why the report describes sources as being attached to retained events. It does not claim that every source originated a unique listing.
What this report can and cannot say
The report measures public listings that Dizko could observe. It excludes private, invitation-only, and unlisted events. Source presence is not audience demand, cultural importance, or ticket availability. Promoter names were present on 29.1 percent of events, prices on 31.6 percent, and attendance or RSVP signals on 34.6 percent. Those fields should not be treated as complete market measures.
Method and sources
Dizko operates the index and wrote this report. The snapshot covers Berlin events from August 17 through October 1, 2026. Collection targets a six-hour refresh. Records are grouped using date, distance, title overlap, and source-priority rules before one canonical event is retained.

Frequently asked questions
Does this mean one source misses 67 percent of Berlin events?
No. The index consolidates overlapping source records and retains one canonical event. The 32.9 percent figure describes how much of the retained inventory was attached to the largest source after consolidation. It is not a recall test of that source.
Why does Dizko combine event sources?
Ticketing platforms, venue calendars, scene publications, museums, and community tools cover different parts of city life. Combining them makes it possible to compare several kinds of plans in one search and on one map.
Can I cite or reuse the numbers?
Yes. Cite Dizko, the snapshot date, and the 45-day reporting window. Use the downloadable CSV for the source counts and the public endpoint for the latest machine-readable report.
