“From hard-hitting EBM & industrial beats to rousing electropop and elegant synth sounds, the E-tropolis Festival is fully dedicated to the dark side of electro.

Machine music at its finest, performed on two stages in the middle of the massive turbine hall complex, which, with its past in the compressed air and power generation of the former Oberhausen steel industry, provides the atmospheric backdrop for the ultimate indoor festival experience.

Framed by large pre- and after-show parties, the E-tropolis Festival sets standards in the electro sector and, with the concentrated power of 14 top acts within one day, is one of the most intense festival experiences in Europe.”

With UNTER SCHWARZER FLAGGE, you will experience a unique concert tour from Cologne to Königswinter and back on board the MS RheinMagie.

While four top acts from the dark rock and electro scene provide thrilling live shows on board Europe’s largest event ship, the shore leave in Königswinter takes you into the world of the Nibelungen saga.

In addition to freely exploring the old town or stopping off at the local restaurants, the Drachenfels with its ancient castle ruins and phenomenal view of the Rhine is particularly tempting.

The return journey through the sunset and along the riverside promenades finally takes you back to Cologne, which is illuminated at night, bringing an unforgettable event to a close.
