It is proud to offer affordable ticket prices and has a history of putting on high quality events for a lovably crazy crowd who never stop dancing and get up-close to the DJs and treated to festival-levels of tech and production which fires every synapse in their body.

Bootshaus began as a raw warehouse in the 90s with Cocoon chief Sven Vath as a resident before officially turning into Bootshaus 21 years later, and it has grown ever since. Now more than 200,000 visitors come every year, nearly every event is sold out and the venue has a large social media reach with 265K on Instagram, 200K on the newsletter, 200K Facebook fans and more than 2 million impressions per month on Instagram. Last year, key nights saw Armin Van Buuren, James Hype, Chase & Status, Timmy Trumpet, Klangkuenstler, Deborah de Luca, Steve Aoki, Mau P, Don Diablo and many more all play.
Bootshaus truly stands apart and has been attracting the best international DJs in the world for two decades. Those stars play across the club’s famously cutting-edge sound systems while the dance floors are wowed by the venue’s immersive light installations. The club’s industrial-chic aesthetic makes for a perfect backdrop across all three of its bespoke spaces.
There is the electrifying main room with its coliseum vibe, flamethrowers, CO2 canons, strobes, LEDs, lasers and indoor festival experience. BLCKBX is the second room for more dark, intimate and underground vibes with low ceilings and pulsing lights adding to the intensity. Last is Dreherei, the smallest floor at Bootshaus and somewhere for niche music and close-knit parties with a uniquely personal charm that feels like a real hidden gem. In summer, things also head outdoors for open-air parties for up to 600 people.
Bootshaus is and always has been for everyone. There is no dress code except for at the kinky parties, with carefully curated events catering to all tastes and welcoming all genders, sexualities and races. Brands include Kitkat, Awake, Inurfase, Deepblue, Beats Bass, Wonderful Days, Unreal, Sexy Party and Musical Madness. With a huge spectrum of sound on offer, from tech house to techno, dubstep to hardcore and house, this makes Bootshaus truly unique as a venue in Germany and beyond.
CEO Tom Thomas explains, “The Bootshaus has always been the place for electronic music in Germany. We try to curate a good line-up for our guests and, in addition to trends, to set our own accents and take the fans on a journey. We are also very proud to have such a good crowd that loves and celebrates electronic music. Even in the current difficult times.“
Bootshaus, which also entails the epic Blacklist and Nibirii Festivals, is the passion project of Uli and Sascha, the creators behind the Loonyland series who wanted a permanent home so took on the space that became Bootshaus. They have a long history of iconic parties with the likes of former resident Sven Väth, Avicii, Armin van Buuren, Zedd, Robin Schulz and many more and in 2025 carry on this fine tradition with another busy year of forward-thinking parties each and every weekend and public holidays.
