BLEND BAZAR COMMUNITY FEST
At the popular concert and festival location, you can spend the whole day at the Blend Bazar & let yourself drift between the stalls to some nice music. But the bazaar isn't just a flea market - in addition to strolling around, you can also make tooth gems & get tattoos or find out more about your future by reading coffee grounds...☕✨
Ausstellungseröffnung: IN RÄUMEN. JÖRG WINDE FOTOGRAFIEN 1984-2024
Jörg Winde's photographs raise exciting questions about man-made spaces, buildings and landscapes. His aim is to understand the world - from the inside, from the outside and in depth. Sometimes he looks far, sometimes very close. a must for all art and photography enthusiasts! 📸
FAVORITEN Festival 2024
44 Dortmund
Independent scene = cultural favorites! September celebrates the art of the independent scene, which is often even further away from the cultural canon, more niche and more experimental than the art in the institutions. The FAVORITEN Festival 2024 is the ideal place to get a brief overview of what the independent scene has to offer in your area 😉.
SANCTUARY OF LOVE
Here is our selected favorite from the Favorite Festival 2024: The Sanctuary of Love! Here you can help shape the performance & negotiate life's crucial questions over a meal together. 💕
STRABI OPEN AIR
Yep, for this festival we're getting on the train and heading to Dormagen, because the Strabi is your ticket to the ultimate open-air sound experience with a beach feeling! Look forward to driving rhythms, fresh beats from young talents of the electronic scene and dance with us on several stages until late into the night.
LEA - präsentiert von Rausgegangen
Nobody in the pop biz should be able to get past her. The singer shares her songs from her gut and lives by the motto: music is constantly changing, just like life. She doesn't wait for the perfect moment, because for her, perfection lies in the essence and the real thing - and that's what makes her so special. An absolute highlight live. 😍🎶
Theaterfest: Theater Dortmund
If you've always wanted to peek behind the scenes at your local theater, then you should keep this Sunday free! Not only can you admire the premises and props backstage, but you can also experience various rehearsals, for example for a ballet play, up close 🩰😍
Die Comedy - English Night
Oh you think that's funny? Comedy in English is something else than German stand-up and often takes humor to another level. But the language switch also brings something good with it: in addition to local comedians, international comedians also perform here on English Night 🤗
ENGIN live@domicil Dortmund
Perhaps still an insider tip here - they're already big in Istanbul: the Turkish-German band from Mannheim impresses with their combo of languages and musical influences and takes us into their very own world of sound. 🤩
FZW Indie Night: boebeck + Marta Knight
This edition of the established concert evening convinces us completely: boebeck start psychedelically and singer-songwriter Marta Knight inspires her listeners with sensitive lyrics - this combination warms our musical hearts.
JULI - 20 Jahre "Es ist Juli" Live
They are back: ''This is the perfect wave! This is the perfect day! - and here you go! This catchy tune is a living legend and just one of many other hits and early 2000s flashbacks - the concert is guaranteed to be a great time! 😁
SPIELZEITERÖFFNUNG mit Sheena McGrandles: DAWN. A Musical on Reproduction
It may sound like a fever dream, but it certainly is. However, the political debate on this timeless and highly topical subject is also like a fever dream - an important discussion with an interesting take - we are intrigued!
Queerer Buchclub
Queer reading! It's a good time to rekindle your passion for reading, especially as we enter the mucky season. Of course, it's most fun when you can exchange ideas together and get some reading inspiration - especially here, of course, if you're not quite as familiar with queer literature. 🔥
September in Dortmund = pure culture! 🤗 You can find even more cool events & things to do in Dortmund in September 2024 as always in the Rausgegangen app or on our website. Happy September! 🥰
