In Berlin for the month, looking for great live outdoor music! What's going on?

My Google skills are failing me, but essentially I'm looking for good summer music events in Berlin this month. For example: Live music in the park (symphony, bands, whatever). Classical music works. Good indie rock. Electronica (although, y'know, not crappy). Whatever. But outdoors is key, something that involves an evening sitting in the grass with a beer or wine would be great. Otherwise: Let your imagination run wild. :-)

Thanks!

I was in Berlin last summer, and completely by accident stumbled across a piano trio playing in front of the Bode Museum, and it looks like they are continuing the same concert series this summer. It's a really great setting; middle of the Spree at sunset, basically I couldn't have been happier. Sundays at 8:30pm.

Has anyone been to to the "Down by the River" festival in the past? [http://downbytheriverberlin.tumblr.com/] Looks interesting and like something that might qualify. (Answering my own question, FTW!)
