PLAY! Open Air – Bootshaus Köln

PLAY! Open Air – Drum & Bass Meets the Cologne Summer

Cologne is getting its own Drum & Bass summer. On Saturday, August 1, 2026, PLAY! Open Air will take over the courtyard of the Bootshaus Köln, bringing an open-air lineup rarely seen in the city on such a large scale: eight hours of bass, two stages, one summer day.

After the City of Cologne banned all events at the Südbrücke site on short notice, we’re thrilled to have found a new venue at the last minute in collaboration with the Bootshaus.

PLAY! Music, together with Gourski & Friends / Drop That and the Hanzom Area, presents a lineup featuring international acts and key players from the Cologne scene—from Liquicity legends to local crews who have been shaping the city for years
