Roots Up Festival 2026

Roots Up! The Feelgood Festival in Cologne

Meet nice people, experience & discover great music! Dancing, exotic food & drink and much more - that's Roots Up, the open-air day festival with the "heartical" vibes. Five national and international bands and a DJ team present soulful reggae, Afrobeats and more. You can also expect a small bazaar, African food, a colorful program for the kids - and a rousing atmosphere. For the ninth year, "Roots Up" will take place on the beautiful outdoor deck of the "Kantine" (and, depending on the weather, also indoors). For those who still haven't had enough, we invite you to our "Clubnight" afterwards in the spirit of "Dub" in the Yard Club.
Be there! We look forward to sharing this experience with you.

Your Roots Up!
