Dockland is back after a significant renovation as Münster’s open-air club reopens on 10 May, launching a new KANELLO season. The relaunch pays tribute to the crew’s 30-year legacy with a lineup built for electronic music purists. This summer, DJ Tennis, Jimi Jules, Monika Kruse, and Oliver Koletzki lead a dynamic schedule of events in the heart of Münster’s industrial canal zone.
Germany’s beloved Dockland has undergone a major transformation. The once-industrial space now blends raw architecture with cutting-edge technology. A 600 m² transparent roof now covers most of the venue. It keeps the weather out, but the open-air spirit remains. A new d&b audiotechnik sound system, LED visuals, and a redesigned DJ booth create a full-body audio-visual immersion. Every design decision supports the original Dockland mission—bringing people together through sound.
Dockland KANELLO: From Slang to Symbol
The DJ booth, intentionally kept low and close to the crowd, intensifies the connection between artist and dancer. With immersive stage elements now surrounding the booth, every set becomes an up-close, sensory experience. Dockland now feels more like a living organism than a traditional venue.
KANELLO isn’t just a name—it’s a callback to Dockland and Münster’s past. The term comes from local slang for “canal,” nodding to Dockland’s original 1995 club. Since then, the crew behind the space has become a staple of Europe’s underground scene. KANELLO events deliver melodic techno and house curated for a forward-thinking audience that cares deeply about sound, experience, and quality.
The season kicks off with a four-hour back-to-back from DJ Tennis and Jimi Jules, setting the tone for a high-caliber summer. Berlin’s DJ Norma b2b Greta Spark joins the bill, alongside Dockland regulars Alyf, Cutmaster Jay b2b Khetama, and Marco Mesem. Rising acts Krackk, Dilliboi_91, and Valeby round out the opening lineup, adding fresh energy to the stage.
