JAKI - Klub im Stadtgarten is characterized by its wide musical range: From jazz to hip hop and soul, to electronic music and reggae, everything is represented here. With "Jazz@JAKI", on the other hand, JAKI presents itself in the old tradition. Following the example of the New York jazz clubs, there are also concerts here with modern mainstream jazz. But experimental and current forms of rock and pop music also have their place at JAKI, making the Stadtgarten club a multifaceted party and concert location.
In October 2019 JAKI, named after CAN drummer Jaki Liebezeit, celebrated its grand opening.
Still very young, but already known everywhere as a Cologne "concert oasis": The GREEN ROOM. With its very special ambience, the new open air venue invites you to a diverse range of live concerts.

Since April 2020 the GREEN ROOM has been added as an open-air concert space. Born more out of necessity, it is now considered a permanent venue of the Stadtgarten.
