Concerts & Music in Frankfurt

Frankfurt is a city of music, and not just because everyone on tour has automatically stopped off here for decades. The city's concert landscape is so broad that it can hardly be fully explored in a single night, a single month or, frankly, a single year, which is of course not a problem, but a promise. If you love concerts on a grand scale, the Festhalle Frankfurt is one of Germany's most iconic live venues right on your doorstep: the hall with its impressive Art Nouveau dome has acoustics that make even mediocre acts sound better, and a program that ranges from rock and pop to world music and classical music and is just as much at home with international headliners as national greats. The Jahrhunderthalle in Gallus complements the city's great live offerings with its industrial atmosphere, which generates a special energy for concerts and where you are never quite sure whether you are experiencing a music event or an art experience, which in this case is both. If you prefer your concert evenings to be medium-sized and close to the stage, the Batschkapp Frankfurt is the place to be: the legendary concert venue plays its calendar of events all year round with a colorful mix of rock, metal, indie, hip-hop and everything in between, in an atmosphere where standing room in front of the stage is not a punishment, but the goal . As a live music venue, the Gibson on the Zeil also regularly hosts concerts by national and international artists in a compact, atmospheric setting where the stage is within easy reach. For those who want to enjoy concerts with a touch of high culture, the Alte Oper Frankfurt is one of the most beautiful venues in the country: The reconstructed opera house offers a varied program of classical music, jazz, singer-songwriter evenings and orchestras that goes far beyond what you would expect from an opera house, regularly offering events for people who don't immediately think of boredom when they hear the word "classical" . The Mousonturm complements the Frankfurt concert scene with an interdisciplinary format in which music grows together with performance, theater and dance, creating concert evenings that can only be experienced there in this form. Smaller live venues such as the Bett, the Zoom Club and Nachtleben Frankfurt complete the picture of a city where live music is not an exception but part of everyday life, and where you can experience a good band or a good act somewhere on almost any night of the week if you know where to look. That's exactly what Rausgegangen is for: In the event calendar you can find all of Frankfurt's concerts and music events at a glance, so that you know who is playing where and when, and can get there in good time before the tickets are gone.
