In our words:

The Blue Shell in Cologne is a place for creative people and musicians. Well-known bands like the Black Crowes or Blur have already celebrated aftershow and record release parties here. The Blue Shell is also a popular filming location for movies and series. The venue provides a stage for local, national and international artists and hosted live performances on over 300 nights last year alone. Anyone with unusual ideas is welcome here. In recent years, the Blue Shell has developed from a cult meeting place to a hip club location.
