In the early 1960s, The Beatles carved their legacy in the bars and clubs of Hamburg. Since then, the city’s musical pulse has only intensified.

Today, Hamburg is a mosaic of live music experiences, from intimate jazz venues to the electrifying atmosphere of techno clubs and the raw energy of indie rock basements. The city’s stages are as diverse as its performers, welcoming both emerging local talents and established global artists. While the Elbphilharmonie, with its architectural brilliance, is a testament to Hamburg’s dedication to music, the city’s true essence lies in its diverse venues. The underground allure of the Mojo Club, the unique setting of Uebel & Gefährlich atop a massive bunker, and the historic vibes of St Pauli’s Kaiserkeller are just a few examples.
