Berlin attracts all the top international pop and rock acts. Recently the various concerts and stadiums have played host to the likes of Destiny's Child, Wyclef Jean, Kid Loco, Supertramp and Roger Waters. The venues in Berlin tend to be smaller than in London, which makes for a more intimate gig-like atmosphere.
