KARNEVAL!?! - Der Tanz auf der Membran 2026

Whether it’s freezing cold or sunny—in Cologne, we’d love to have Carnival all year round. And because our joint party on regular Carnival Friday has been as packed as it is wild for over ten years, we’re going all out again in 2026 to kick off the season: Starting at 4:11 p.m., “Der Tanz auf der Membran – 11.11. Edition” kicks off throughout the Stadtgarten—with a diverse lineup spanning hip-hop, bass music, club sounds, and Cologne-style tunes: In the main hall: trap, rap, and club hits; in the lounge: the Cologne crew with sing-along moments; and at JAKI: the full spectrum of electronic sounds, ranging from bounce to speedhouse—thumping bass guaranteed. This is how a Carnival celebration and a club night merge right in the heart of Cologne.
