Acts from 27 EU countries will be taking part in the third European Club Night on April 19 in 33 Berlin clubs.

Performers include Blood Red Shoes from the U.K., Swedish band Shout Out Louds, Buraka Som Sistema from Portugal and the brass band Fanfare Ciocarlia from Romania.

The event is being organized by Clubcommission Berlin, the association of Berlin club operators, in conjunction with the German Foreign Ministry.

"The third European Club Night is particularly significant in that it coincides with the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Iron Curtain," said foreign minister Frank Walter Steinmeier in a statement.
