Concerts & Music in Düsseldorf

Concerts, music & pub concerts, live music and musicals in Düsseldorf

There are cities where music is simply in the air, and Düsseldorf is definitely one of them. Maybe it's the Rhine, maybe it's the many creative minds that live here, or maybe it's simply because the city has always had a good feel for sound. The fact is that anyone looking for a concert here will not be disappointed. From small club concerts to sold-out large-scale shows, there is something for everyone in the Rhine metropolis' calendar of events, and not just in the obvious places. The zakk in Flingern is one such location that you have to visit: founded in 1977 in an old nail factory, the socio-cultural center is now one of the most charming concert stages in the city, where rock, indie, singer-songwriters and newcomers alike feel at home. The mixture of raw industrial charm and a real community feel makes concert evenings here something special that no algorithm can replicate. Those who prefer the more refined side of live music will find one of the most beautiful concert halls in Germany in the Tonhalle Düsseldorf, where classical music and orchestral concerts can be heard in an impressive domed building on the banks of the Rhine. Then there's the Pitcher, a venue that originally started out as a pub and has developed into one of the city's leading concert venues over the years, with a program that spans all genres and regularly brings surprising acts to the stage. The Mitsubishi Electric Halle and the Merkur Spiel-Arena provide the really big moments, where international headliners and sold-out concerts set the standard. Those who prefer the open air in summer can look forward to open-air concerts in the newly created Open Air Park, which aims to establish Düsseldorf as one of the most exciting open-air concert venues in western Germany. The music scene here breathes, grows and surprises if you give it the chance.
