In the organizer's words:

lit.COLOGNE POP 2026 - The festival within the festival

On March 6 & 7, 2026, lit.COLOGNE POP will present ten events on literature, politics and pop culture for the fourth time. Culture connects fiction and reality, gives ideas and impetus, questions, makes visible and makes you feel - the fourth edition is once again dedicated to exciting novels, new voices and current discourses.

A day ticket gives you access to the entire festival area at Stadtgarten Köln. The events are spread over two stages and last one hour each. You can choose freely between the stages and secure a seat in good time. If a hall is already full, you are welcome to check out the parallel program.

Note on accessibility: The concert hall and the adjoining toilets are wheelchair-accessible. Please use the restaurant entrance via Spichernstraße. The JAKI can only be reached via a staircase and is therefore unfortunately not barrier-free.
