About this event
Cologne's city centre becomes a free festival zone during gamescom week: live concerts headlined by acts like The Notwist and Thees Uhlmann & Band, plus street food and gaming-culture entertainment around Rudolfplatz and Hohenzollernring. No gamescom trade-fair ticket is needed — the city festival runs as a separate, free, open-to-everyone street event.
Why we picked it
Free concerts from established German acts, spun off from Europe's biggest gaming convention — no trade-fair ticket needed.
