Issue #22

On Saturday, March 28, 2026, it’s time to go Extra Large again in Cologne. Ehrenfeld XL connects Ehrenfeld and the Belgian Quarter into one extraordinary club-hopping festival: one ticket, over ten venues, multiple floors and a night packed with musical diversity.

From Raw & Deep Techno, Hard Techno and Peaktime Techno to Amapiano, Afro House, Drum & Bass, and 90s/2000s party vibes – this edition unites international club culture with the power of Cologne’s local scene.

At ARTHEATER, deep techno and groove-driven sounds create a hypnotic atmosphere, with artists like Exos delivering technically refined, immersive sets. Over at GARAGEN, pure hard techno pressure takes over, led by Franky-B, whose high-energy style pushes the dancefloor to its limits.

Fans of peak-time intensity will find their place at HELIOS37, where driving rhythms and powerful builds collide, shaped by artists such as Auriga and Lampé.

A major highlight awaits at ODONIEN, where house and melodic techno merge in a powerful open-air industrial setting. Headlined by Tocadisco – one of the most widely recognized names in the line-up – the floor blends groove, melody and impact on an international level.

The Bayamo Fusion Showcase at STADTGARTEN and JAKI brings Afro House, Amapiano and global rhythmic energy to the dancefloors. Meanwhile, Schrotty escalates across multiple floors with bounce, trance and high-energy sounds, while CLUB ZIMMERMANNS delivers uncompromising Drum & Bass and Neurofunk, featuring METHOD (Liquicity / High Tea Music) as one of the international DnB highlights of the night.

At the same time, the HERBRANDS offers a nostalgic counterpoint with 90s and 2000s party anthems, while REINEKE FUCHS adds hip-hop, rap and urban energy to the mix.

With your Ehrenfeld XL wristband, you can move freely between clubs, genres and vibes all night long — from raw techno to global grooves and bass-driven intensity. Different scenes, one shared night in Cologne.
