The Best Concert Venues In Dusseldorf

Dusseldorf is rarely spoken of as one of the major music destinations in the world. But this little town on the Rhine takes pride in the fact that electronic music was born here: it is from Dusseldorf that the legendary band Kraftwerk emerged. The locals love their concerts, and local venues are always packed with cheering music lovers. Here, we take a look at some of the best places in the city to catch some live music.

1. The Tube

The Tube is a small but very popular nightclub, which hosts live music on a regular basis. It is a great venue to hear emerging and super-talented local bands. All kinds of music, including hip-hop, reggae, alternate music, big beat and rock, are played here.
