NEW Booking Info – Bruitkasten Series
Concerts every
1st and 3rd Wednesday of the month at
Gemeinde Köln (http://www.gemeinde-koeln.org).
We feature
improvised/experimental music, and sometimes performance, dance, or other formats. We prefer "experiments" of all kinds. We encourage artistic risk-taking and welcome performances that push boundaries and challenge formats.
We cover GEMA, but have no additional funding, so we mostly book local acts. If you’re touring and just need a date, we’re open – but can’t cover travel or accommodation. All fees come from the door.
Important: The gallery space changes with each exhibition, so setups might be limited. We book 2–3 bands each night, with a preference for
smaller ensembles due to limited space.
Booking periods: • Sept/Oct → apply July 1 – Aug 15
• Nov/Dec → apply Sept 1 – Oct 15
• Feb/March → apply Dec 1 – Jan 15
• April–June → apply Feb 1 – March 15
We cannot accept requests outside of these periods.
Thanks for understanding!
(If you’re planning ahead for a tour or need a letter of intent for funding purposes, feel free to reach out to bruit@impakt-koeln.de. Please only contact us for serious plans — we’re happy to put in the extra effort, but only if there’s a real chance the project will actually happen, and won't burn energy on maybes. Please include a brief justification (why you need it and what it’s for).)
