The Planetarium Bochum as a unique venue for concerts
The Planetarium Bochum is not only a favourite destination for astronomy enthusiasts and science fans, but has also established itself as an exceptional venue for concerts. With its unique atmosphere and state-of-the-art technology, the planetarium offers a stage for special musical experiences that transport visitors into a fascinating world of sound and visual impressions.
The Planetarium Bochum - An overview
The Planetarium Bochum was opened in 1964 and is now one of the largest and most modern star theatres in Europe. Located in the heart of the Ruhr region, it offers a wide range of scientific shows and adventure programmes on the subject of astronomy. However, in addition to the classic planetarium shows, it has also established itself as a venue for cultural events in recent years.
With its domed hall, which can accommodate around 260 guests, and a 360-degree projection screen that enables breathtaking visualisations, the planetarium is particularly well suited for events that go beyond the traditional concept of a concert. The combination of music, light and video installations creates an immersive experience that plunges visitors into another world.
Music and starry skies - concerts at the Planetarium Bochum
The Planetarium Bochum regularly hosts concerts and musical events that put the special architecture and technical equipment of the building centre stage. These are concerts from various genres - from classical music to jazz and electronic sounds. The concerts benefit in particular from the dome projection and the surround sound system, which creates an outstanding sound quality in the room.
Concerts that combine live music with impressive visualisations of the starry sky, planets and cosmic phenomena are popular. These concerts stand out from conventional music events as they are not only acoustically but also visually impressive. Music and images enter into a symbiosis here, giving visitors the feeling that they are travelling through space. The projections, which run across the entire dome surface of the planetarium, reinforce this immersive experience and allow the audience to experience the concert with all their senses.
Acoustics and technology at the highest level
The acoustics in the Planetarium Bochum are unique. The round domed hall ensures excellent sound distribution throughout the room. Thanks to a modern surround sound system, perfect sound quality is achieved, allowing music to be experienced in all its facets. Every instrument, every note is reproduced crystal clear and rich in detail, which is a great advantage, especially for concerts that emphasise the finest nuances of sound.
In addition, the 360-degree dome projection enables spectacular visual effects that far surpass conventional stage lighting. Instead of looking at a traditional stage, visitors experience the concert all around them - they are surrounded by images and light that incorporate the entire room into the musical event.
Diverse event formats
The Planetarium Bochum not only offers classical concert formats, but also innovative events where music and science meet.
Musik shows
Music shows in the planetarium are a real experience. Under a starry sky, you can immerse yourself in different styles of music, forget everyday life and take a journey into space with fascinating images. Without many words, the beauty of the cosmos becomes tangible - more intensely than ever before thanks to state-of-the-art projection technology. The changing programme offers something for every taste.
Live concerts
Live concerts under the starry sky at the Planetarium Bochum are a special highlight, especially in the cooler months. The focus is often on electronic, "spacey" music that goes perfectly with the projections of the sky. But instruments such as harp, violin, piano and flute are also used. Let yourself be enchanted by this unique atmosphere!

Every planetarium show is special, but some offers might surprise you. How about a journey through evolution with Charles Darwin?
