Batschkapp is one of Frankfurt's best-known concert halls, located in the Seckbach district on Gwinnerstraße. It made its name as a stage for rock, alternative and international live acts performing in front of large crowds.
Beyond its regular concert schedule, the hall's capacity and outdoor area also make it a venue for bigger festivals and special events, including formats with an explicitly queer program, DJ sets, shows and their own Pride truck as part of a varied lineup.
Visiting Batschkapp mainly means stepping into a genuine live-music house with a long tradition, one that draws very different crowds depending on the date, from rock fans to visitors of queer festival days.
