My Saturday at Country To Country 2026 in Berlin (7th March 2026)

After the first full day at the C2C was in the books, it was already time for the second one. Just some two hours sleep and I was looking forward to the festival’s Saturday. There were some acts on that day I was really looking forward to see for the first time. Thus, I was stunned about what was going to happen on that 7th March 2026 at the Country To Country 2026 in Berlin.

This posting comes with 1,151 major size pictures in the C2C 2026 Berlin section of the concert galleries.

 

C2C Berlin 2026 – Day 2 – The Lineup

Honestly, I did struggle a lot whether or not I should head to Berlin. The festival gave me a really strong argument to do so, though, when they announced their preliminary line-up. The First Time Flyers were on stage on Saturday. I was looking that much forward to this amazing British quartet, featuring former Rock of Ages actress Vicky Manser, the incredible Tim Prottey-Jones and Jack Morrell and their lovely other female member, Poppy Fardell. After playing in Rotterdam on Friday, I was also looking that much forward to Kaylee Bell – two acts I would finally see on stage for the first time.

Even though I wanted to be less focused on the main stage this year, it indeed featured some really nice acts on Saturday. I was especially looking forward to Willow Avalon, as I had never seen her on stage before. With Dylan Schneider and closing artist Jordan Davis, there were also some really fine names of country music un the Uber Eats Music Hall.

 

C2C Berlin 2026 – Day 2 – Day Session

After I enjoyed the Sad Song Society on Friday, I kicked off Saturday with two members of them. Kenny Foster was the first artist to perform on the Whiskey Barrel Stage in an Irish pub. As he was ready rather early, he also opened his set early. I loved him performing songs like Poor Kids. He also teased that there will be new music soon. His early start allowed me to have a quick visit one of the two top level venues in Berlin. Tyler Sjöström performed at thee Rooftop Stage. The people in the rather full venue loved his show.

After being amazed from the long lines for the Meet & Greet lane, I wanted to have a good seat at the Whiskey Barrel Stage. I was thankful seeing the last songs of Kenny again (including his outstandingly funny Safe Word), before Clayton Mullen took the small stage. He had a really nice set, including songs like Good Trucks Rust. My favorite, however was  his Raining in Dallas.

 

British Artist Magic in an Irish Pub in Berlin

The key reason why I went back into that Irish Pub, though, was the act thereafter. I was absolutely right being there early for the First Time Flyers. Indeed, the venue was absolutely packed when the quartet became. They did a lovely vocal country performance. Tim Prottey-Jones even spoke some German, including Meine Lieblingsband ist First Time Flyers (“The Firs Time Flyers ae my favorite band”) – just in cased a survey is asking you that. Their set orientated around their debut album Bound To Break, obviously. They are energetic, having good stories, and four really nice musicians. Finally, I would say that this was the best concert on the 2026 minor stages I had in Berlin.

Based on my Friday’s experience, I went early to the Alex Stage. The corner stage in a restaurant can be very packed. I managed to have a good spot on the floor, listening to a few last songs by Brendan Walter. I especially liked his cover version of Teenage Dirtbag by Wheatus. However, his If A Song Could Change Your Mind was lovely as well..

 

Australia Time

The reason why I went to that stage early was the act thereafter was, Kaylee Bell. I just had to see the New Zealand artist and listen to her amazing Keith.. The song closed her set. She also shared songs like Mankind, inspired by her young son. A nice way to finish my daytime visits. .

 

C2C Berlin 2026 – Day 2 – Uber Eats Music Hall

Dylan Schneider was the first artist on man stage. The thoughts about him in the community were a bit of mixed before the show. However, he proofed the people wrong and really pushed the people. While the sunny weather gave him a surprisingly smaller audience at the beginning of his set, there were significantly more people at Uber Eats Music Hall after a few moments. With songs like Better Then You Left Me, he felt to exactly hit the mood of the German people.

Next on stage was Willow Avalon. Especially playing after rocking Dylan Schneider, she had a really tough time on stage. Willow is rather calm, also a bit of shy on stage and does very traditional tunes. It is a tough task to cover the whole range of country music on the one hand – and put it into a lineup which does not confuse the audience too much on the other hand. On that day, this challenge was – unfortunately – a bit too high for the country lady. She might have been a better opener on that day, so that Tyler Braden would have played right after Dylan Schneider. Braden was not as rocking as the first main stage act on that day, but did do a powerful show. I really liked the parts of his set I saw

 

Photographic Challenge at the Evening

The photographers were announced that for the Jordan Davis set, we were only allowed to take pictures from the FOH – which for normal people means: fron the very rear of the arena. I thus decided to skip Drake Milligan and change the setup of my camera equipment according to this situation. I had the same “challenge” just a week before with Ben Zucker playing in Cologne. However, the distance to stage at Uber Eats Music Hall is significantly shorter than at Lanxess Arena. Jordan did have some good moments, e.g. a duet with Spotlight Stage artist Solon Holt, featuring the good, old Waggon Wheel classic. But overall, his energy was not enough to prevent that quite a couple of fans left the venue way before the show ended  – these days in Berlin are exhausting for anybody.
