After a very short time, the CBE is firmly established as a cultural center in the Cologne music scene – through the national and international bookings, the club reaches people from all over North Rhine-Westphalia, who can experience energetic live concerts directly under the tracks. The club’s booking stands out in particular for its keen sense for talented and creative artists who work at a highly professional level. Due to the urban and attractive flair of the railway arches, the club is also perfect for more personal club shows.

The expansion of the third arch in 2015 led to the opening of the YUCA club (“Your Urban Club of Arts”), which was partly funded by the people of Cologne through crowdfunding. Smaller concerts and the support of newcomers, as well as the organization of larger parties or several events at the same time, are made possible with the club’s third bow. As the individual artists already suggest, the program is composed of a wide variety of music genres. The focus is on alternative black music, ie jazz, soul, funk, hip-hop, house, salsa, latin-jazz, reggae and blues. But just through incorporated into the program rentals, the club can offer its guests music from various genres.
