Leipzig's live music clubs

Map of 5 locations in Leipzig, Germany

Leipzig's concert rooms are held together by a trade body rather than a scene: LiveKommbinat Leipzig e.V. speaks for clubs and live venues of wildly different size, from a techno room that has moved twice to a cellar that runs a three-floor disco twice a week. Gathered here are the member houses that book live acts as well as DJs, each one with its current address, its access situation and what the building is actually used for. Several have spent the last few years fighting over leases and development plans, so the dates matter as much as the listings.
