Berghain.. . In 2023, Pelada return to the live stage for a 3-part world tour. Part 1, which concluded. . in June, included stops in Italy, Switzerland, Japan, and Australia.

Impulse! Records).. . Both Pelada’s sound and ethos translate to a galvanizing live show that will spring. . dancefloors to action in festival contexts, switched-on club zones, and punk bunkers. . alike.. . https://www.instagram.com/tobias_rochman/?hl=en — Event Details: https://dukegroups.com/rsvp?id=2149977
