other · 2026-09-01

Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein, the composers behind the hit Netflix series 'Stranger Things', will perform the show's soundtrack live in Berlin on November 16. The duo, known for their work as members of the band SURVIVE, have been responsible for the series' music since its inception. Their compositions, which blend 80s synth sounds with supernatural elements, have become iconic. For the fourth season, they incorporated Kate Bush's 'Running up that Hill', contributing to its resurgence in the charts nearly 40 years after its release. The live show, titled 'Stranger Things Live', brings the mysterious atmosphere of the fictional town of Hawkins to stages worldwide, featuring impressive light effects by visual artist MFO (Marcel Weber). The Berlin concert is part of their ongoing tour, following the series' finale last year. The event is covered by kulturnews.de, with the article written by Finn Kollmeier.
