Berlin's CTM festival adds names to 2022 events

The festival will take place across two weekends - one in January and one in May

Berlin festival CTM has announced additional names for its 2022 edition.

CTM 2022, which will be split into two halves owing to Berlin's existing event limitations, will begin in January and stretch from January 28 to January 30.

The first section will centre on art installations and online activities, while the second part, from May 24-29, will focus on the dancefloor.

The festival wrote in an Instagram caption: "Festivals are as much about art and music as they are about exchange and togetherness. The second half of CTM 2022 heads full-force into the shared experiences and dancefloor euphoria that have been at the heart of the festival since the beginning".
