PLAY! Open Air – Südbrücke Köln

In the organizer's words:

PLAY! Open Air - Drum & Bass meets Cologne summer

Cologne gets its drum & bass summer. On Saturday, July 18, 2026, the Kessel-Floor on the Südbrücke will open its doors for an open-air line-up that is rarely seen in the city in this density: eight hours of bass, two areas, one summer day.

PLAY! Music, together with Gourski & Friends / Drop That and the Hanzom Area, presents a line-up of international names and Cologne scene players - from Liquicity greats to local crews that have been shaping the city for years.
