RAKITA

In the organizer's words:

Ra Ra RAKITA is starting again.

Rakı. Music. Encounter.
After a rousing premiere last year, RAKITA is back: On May 14, 2026, we will once again open the doors of Toré Mülheim and invite you to be part of this unique evening in Cologne.

What you can expect
RAKITA is a feeling. An evening between tradition and the present, memory and reinvention. Here, Anatolian melodies meet electronic beats, indie meets retro vinyl, saxophone meets club sound. People come together to dance, drink, talk, laugh - and meet anew. Whether you have already experienced the magic of the first edition or are just discovering RAKITA: we are creating an atmosphere that explicitly protects queer people and is open to everyone. Let's ring in the summer of 2026 in an unforgettable way.

Table seats and standing room
We have evaluated your feedback and incorporated it into our concept. As a result, we will be offering two different ticket options.
Table seats: you have the option of sitting at one of the table seats. The ticket price includes 1 bottle of rakı, 1 bottle of water and 1 portion of meze variations. The "Rakı package" is based on approx. 5 people. If you come as a couple, for example, you will meet 3 new RAKITA friends 😉
Standing room only: you are admitted to the event and can help yourself to whatever you want at the bar.

Location and atmosphere
The Toré Mülheim (@tore.cologne) with its beautiful garden in the Kulturbunker Köln-Mülheim (@kulturbunkerkoelnoffiziell) will become our intercultural living room for one evening. A space full of warmth, encounters and love. A space without racism, sexism - without any kind of discrimination. Behavior that does not correspond to our values will not be tolerated and will therefore be expelled from our space.

Why you should be there

- 🌌 Unique atmosphere: RAKITA is a party - it is an invitation to rethink culture and community.

- ✨ Second chance: After the last sold-out events, you now have another opportunity to be part of this evening.

- 🌞 Start of summer: May 14, 2026 is the perfect moment - a day of celebration - to kick off summer with us.
