Germany's Iconic Bootshaus shares stacked run of shows for 2025

Bootshaus in Cologne

Bootshaus Cologne has been a driving force in the German scene for decades and that continues in early 2025 with a blistering array of events featuring leading brands and international DJs across electronic music genres. 

Bootshaus Cologne leans into its reputation as a wild child of the underground. There are no VIPs, no bottle service, no posers and no nonsense. It is proud to offer affordable ticket prices and has a history of putting on high quality events for a lovably crazy crowd who never stop dancing and get up-close to the DJs and treated to festival-levels of tech and production which fires every synapse in their body. 

This first part of this year offers a feast of events for every type of music lover. Taken place already is Unrelenting Weekender Night I with Adrián Mills, Caiva, Callush, Cara Elizabeth, CLTX, Héctor Oaks, Neon Graveyard, Shlømo and a Secret Guest, with hard techno returning this weekend from Spain's breakout sensation Indira Paganotto & Eli Brown on 15 Feb. This April sees BAYAMO FUSION PRES. Caiiro, Da Capo x Enoo Napa, Dante T., Nick Curly, Yulia Niko, Rancido, LALENA, Thakzin and Rebelle while on 16 May Euphoria presents some epic arnica and techno from Miss Bashful x DBBD X SHOKI287, with plenty more besides. 

Bootshaus began as a raw warehouse in the 90s with Cocoon chief Sven Vath as a resident before officially turning into Bootshaus 21 years later, and it has grown ever since. Now more than 200,000 visitors come every year, nearly every event is sold out and the venue has a large social media reach with 265K on Instagram, 200K on the newsletter, 200K Facebook fans and more than 2 million impressions per month on Instagram. Last year, key nights saw Armin Van Buuren, James Hype, Chase & Status, Klangkuenstler, Deborah de Luca, Mau P and many more all play.

Bootshaus truly stands apart and has been attracting the best international DJs in the world for two decades. Those stars play across the club’s famously cutting-edge sound systems while the dance floors are wowed by the venue's immersive light installations. The club’s industrial-chic aesthetic makes for a perfect backdrop across all three of its bespoke spaces.
