# Electronic Beats Festival Cologne 2016 Line-Up Announced
As announced a while back, Electronic Beats is shaking things up in
2016. Instead of hitting multiple European cities with two-day takeovers
this spring, we're concentrating all our efforts on one huge, [five-day
blowout][1]{: target="_blank"} in Cologne from May 18 -- 22. Today, we
proudly announce the first installment of the line-up. Legendary
Nigerian drummer Tony Allen will grace the stage for a live show
alongside Chilly Gonzales, Mø, local trio Woman and Christian Löffler
and Mohna. Cologne's own Kompakt family will host a special event with
performances by Reinhard Voigt, Superpitcher, Michael Mayer, Fango and
Matt Karmil, while deep house don Kerri Chandler, Grizzly and Noema
complete the dance floor-oriented bookings.
As always, the coming edition of Electronic Beats Festival will
include club nights, concerts, exhibitions, workshops and more, hosted
in venues, bars, clubs, ateliers, cafés and cultural hotspots around the
city. Keep an eye on the hashtags #electronicbeats and #telekom on
Twitter and Instagram, and stay tuned for more detailed updates about
EBF Cologne 2016 in the [Facebook event][2]{: target="_blank"}.
More [info, tickets, venues and more here][1].
**Update:** Grace Jones has been confirmed to kick off the festival on
May 18th with her first show in Germany in seven years!
