In May 1980 the Tempodrom on Potsdamer Platz begins staging offbeat shows in a circus tent.

Numerous West Berlin artists appear on the programme, including Annette Humpe and her group, Ideal. Their song, Ich steh auf Berlin (I dig Berlin), is an anthem to the city.

Ideal were an important part of the Neue Deutsche Welle and played a crucial role in shaping the genre.
