The Amphitheater in Gelsenkirchen, Germany is a concert location directly at the Rhein-Herne-Kanal and within a nice park. It is also not too far away from Essen, Germany. The place is built in the shape of a classic amphitheatre but made of concrete. The stage is next to the water and the only place with a roof – you should therefore hope to have good weather conditions. We came here for an open air concert of a ska/punk band from Oberhausen and Mülheim an der Ruhr called “Sondaschule“.
When we arrived in the Ruhrpott it was raining heavily and we decided to miss some bands, unfortunately also including acts like Das Pack and Montreal. We enjoyed the shows of Massendefekt and Die Lokalmatadore from the upper level where it was really easy to get some drinks. For the main act we walked down and enjoyed the crazy crowd for two hours of dancing. A nice location – but as it was nearly impossible to get a taxi we had to walk home and that lasted an hour. Better go by car; you’ll have to select a driver and you’ll face a big traffic jam – but the car park is close and pretty large.
