Kölschella Festival

Cologne, are you ready for the most relaxed highlight of your summer? On 30.08.26, we'll be transforming the idyllic garden of the Orangerie Theater in the heart of Südstadt into an oasis of live music, vintage vibes and electronic beats. The Kölschella is at the start - and you shouldn't miss it!

Whether you're looking for the perfect pre-loved treasure, want to dance to the finest beats or want to discover the most exciting newcomers on the Cologne music scene: We have the full program for you all day long.

This is what awaits you at Kölschella:

• 🛍️ From 10:00 a.m.: Hand-picked flea market - browse through unique stalls, drink cold coffee (or an ice-cold Mühlen Kölsch) and discover your new favorite item.

• 🎧 Dancing under the sky: Outdoor Silent Rave - Grab your headphones, choose your channel and dance the day away in the middle of the countryside.

• 🎤 In the evening: The live concert series - the centerpiece! We bring the hottest regional newcomers to the stage. Look forward to the unmistakable sounds of Marli, JULIKO, Leo Valdivia & Aris Valentino.

💜 Support your locals & real diversity

It's important to us who's on stage: our line-up boasts a fixed 50% FLINTA quota on and behind the stage. We empower Cologne's newcomer scene and send a clear signal for diversity in pop culture. In addition, the entire Orangerie site is completely barrier-free.

💸 Pay What You Want - culture for EVERYONE!

Good culture shouldn't be a luxury. You don't have to pay a penny to enjoy it during the day. For the concert series in the evening, we rely on our solidarity principle: Pay What You Want! You decide for yourself how much the concert ticket is worth to you and what your wallet can afford. Every cent goes 100% directly to the fair payment of our artists and the event technology.

Bring your favorite people, grab a blanket and let's celebrate the perfect summer day together in Cologne's Volksgarten.
