About Ehrenfeld XL
Ehrenfeld XL returns to Cologne on 24 October 2026, the long running techno series named after the district in the west of the city where it started. The event has used venues across Cologne including the Artheater and Helios37, programming house and techno for a crowd that has followed it since the mid 2010s.
The format is a single large night rather than a multi day festival, with a bill built around extended sets and a mix of local residents and guests. Recordings from previous editions sit on the series’ own channel and on the channels of artists who have played, including sets from the Artheater and Helios37 rooms.
Cologne is a reasonable place to run this kind of event. The city’s club scene centres on Bootshaus, Gewölbe and the Ehrenfeld district itself, and the festival sits alongside them rather than competing for the same audience. Tickets and venue details are published through the official site. Cologne is on the high speed line from Brussels and Frankfurt and has its own airport 20 minutes from the centre. The 2026 line up was being announced at the time of writing. It is a long standing German city music festival night.
