Wuppertal Underground: Relikt’s Soft Opening July 11

Relikt opens new club in Wuppertal with a soft opening titled “Wuppertal Underground” on July 11 at Gathe 50 in Elberfeld. The venue occupies two floors and has a capacity of up to 199 guests. It features a circular layout and multiple bars across the floors. Interior elements include a rocket element mounted on the ceiling and illuminated plasma tubes.

The opening night is curated by URVB in collaboration with the Sound of Butan series from Butan Club under the motto “Good Old Techno”. The sound for the opening is described as raw, hypnotic, and driving. Relikt’s first official in-house event is scheduled for July 17 by Taltakt, with another planned date on August 1.

The club will not operate weekly at first and will host individual events in the initial months, with a full programme expected by the end of August. Long-term plans include hosting techno, house and other formats and serving as a platform for different crews and organisers.

Relikt is located at Gathe 50 in Elberfeld, Wuppertal. The venue has a capacity of up to 199 guests and occupies two floors. The interior uses a circular layout that arranges the dance and service areas around a central circulation space. Multiple bars are distributed across the two floors to provide beverage service during events and to serve visitors from different levels of the venue.

A rocket element is mounted on the ceiling above the main area as a distinct interior feature. Illuminated plasma tubes are installed throughout the venue and function as visible lighting elements within the space. The circular arrangement links the two floors and the placement of bars on both levels corresponds with the venue’s floor plan and central circulation design.

Relikt’s soft opening, titled “Wuppertal Underground”, is scheduled for July 11 as the venue’s inaugural public event and the first occasion to present the club’s opening programme. The opening night will be curated by URVB in collaboration with the Sound of Butan series from Butan Club, combining those organisers for the event.

The musical theme for the soft opening is stated as “Good Old Techno”. The sound character associated with that theme is described as raw, hypnotic, and driving. No additional interpretive commentary is provided in the source material about the programming beyond these descriptions in the published report available.

Information requested about upcoming scheduled events at Relikt appears in earlier sections of this article and is not repeated in full here.

This section therefore does not provide a separate itemized list of dates and performers.

Pricing details and additional event scheduling noted in the article’s preceding text are likewise not duplicated in this section. The preceding content already addresses entry pricing for the club’s own events and beverage prices.

Readers should refer to the article’s earlier sections for the cited dates and prices because this section avoids restating those facts.

No further information is provided on the frequency of events after the initial months, specific weekly scheduling plans, or the precise timeline for moving to a regular programme, or confirmed dates for future events. No additional listings of organisers, crews, or formats beyond the general mention of techno, house and a platform for different crews are detailed in the available material. The available sources do not provide this information.

Butan closed in 2018. U-Club closed at the end of 2025 and resumed operations in February 2026 after a donation campaign. Open Ground was established in 2023.
