the upcoming event

  • Festival/Conference

The c/o pop Festival has been bringing national and international acts from the fields of electro, indie, hiphop/rap and related styles to Cologne's stages since 2004 - including both established artists and newcomers. In recent years, the focus has increasingly shifted towards national newcomers - after all, c/o pop sees itself as a festival of discovery.
The c/o pop Convention takes place parallel to the festival and is the first industry gathering of the year for the music industry and cooperating industries such as digital economy and games. Here, keynotes, talks, presentations, workshops and training sessions take a practical look at the future. There are also plenty of opportunities to network. The c/o pop Convention sees itself as a platform for networking and interaction for bands, artists and the entire associated ecosystem.
