SESH

Nestled six meters underground in a converted bunker, Open Ground is a beacon for electronic music enthusiasts in Wuppertal, Germany. Situated right in front of the main train station, this venue offers unparalleled accessibility, with hotels, parking, and public transport conveniently located across the street. Open Ground's commitment to originality and independence is evident in its ethos, inviting all visitors to experience sound-system music in an inclusive and respectful environment.

Since its inception, the club has become a significant cultural hub in North Rhine-Westphalia, serving as a sanctuary for diverse audiences seeking to expand their musical horizons. The club's unique setting in a former bunker not only adds to its allure but also provides an acoustically rich backdrop for performances. Over the years, Open Ground has undergone careful structural adaptations to optimize its sound quality, featuring two rooms acoustically designed for free-field simulation.

This allows the powerful 32-inch-bass Funktion One sound systems to deliver an unmatched audio experience. The Freifeld room, with a capacity of 400, and the more intimate Annex, accommodating 100, both contribute to the club's reputation as a premier destination for electronic music. The spacious central lobby, complete with a main bar and adjoining outside area, provides a communal space for patrons to relax and socialize, embodying the club's open-minded spirit.

Open Ground's 24/7 license and the availability of food right outside the venue ensure that the party can continue without interruption. Over time, the club has attracted a host of notable artists, cementing its status as a respected player in the electronic music scene. Notable artists who have performed here include Josey Rebelle, Tasha, Fadi Mohem, Elke, and Arthur (DE), each contributing to the vibrant tapestry of sounds that define Open Ground's dynamic atmosphere.
