GA short list Ten clubs in Bonn offering live music

Bonn · Summer is over; no more open air festivals. But concert lovers don’t have to do without live music; here are some Bonn clubs offering many different kinds of live music acts.

Session

For 47 years, Session has been one of the best known addresses in Bonn when it comes to live music. Events are held several times a month. In the inconspicuous cellar bar, all types of artists appear. For example, visitors can listen to thundering guitar riffs from heavy metal bands, clanking contrabasses of rockabilly bands or to the gentle sounds of acoustic duos. Every Thursday there is also a blues session.

Address: Gerhard-von-Are-Straße 4, Bonn

Harmonie

The hall of the Harmonie in Endenich holds 500 people. What opened as a dance house more than a century ago has developed into a venue that is well-known far beyond Bonn's borders since the mid-1990s. Tito & Taratula and Mungo Jerry have played here. Every now and then the WDR broadcast Rockpalast is also a guest.

Address: Frongasse 28-30, Bonn

Bla

Those who like rock will love the Bla: On stage at the small punk rock bar near the Stadthaus (City Administration building), it’s mainly bands with heavy sounds. But the organizers say they do aim to include many different music genres. Everyone is welcome here - exclusion, defamation, sexism, and racism are clear grounds for getting kicked out.

Address: Bornheimer Straße 20-22, Bonn
