The David Watts Foundation presents
WHO vs KINKS at Roadrunner's Paradise!
Following the success of last year’s event, we’re kicking off 2026 with another explosive night of musical celebration. This time, two of the most iconic bands in British rock history go head-to-head: The Who vs. The Kinks. We've invited some of Berlin’s finest indie bands and musicians to pay tribute to their favorites — whether it’s the raw power of The Who or the sharp wit and melodic brilliance of The Kinks. Expect passionate covers, creative reinterpretations, and unexpected twists as each act takes the stage to show their love and admiration for these legendary groups. From "Waterloo Sunset" to "Baba O'Riley", the evening will be packed with unforgettable moments, loud guitars, and a whole lot of heart. Come early, stay late, and join us as we honour the spirit of 60s rock with a modern-day twist — loud, proud, and full of love.
As usual this will be a charity event!
