Underground Cologne

Since the late 1980s, Underground in Ehrenfeld has been the place to be for old-school alternative music. Hidden behind an enormous iron gate and surrounded by graffiti-adorned buildings, this expansive concert venue is located on a disused industrial estate. The atmosphere is friendly and rough all at once; imagine this as the perfect movie set for a dystopian apocalypse.

Besides the immensely powerful PA system which is ideal for more serious rock, punk and hip hop and enough space to accommodate crowds of around 400 to 500, Underground’s other great asset is its on-site beer garden, a great place to hang out pre-concert with other fans, admire their outfits and enjoy the general sense of anticipation.

So if you’re not afraid of punk, metal or rap, head out to Ehrenfeld for an ear-splitting experience in one of Underground’s two concert halls. Afterwards, cool off with a Kölsch on tap in the beer garden or in the venue’s own pub, which offers foosball tables and even a pinball machine. At this venue, time has stood still, in the best sense of the word. Here’s to a long and loud future for Underground!
