"BLITZ became a truly devoted music space, a temple of dance," the statement continues. "We always hoped to stay at this venue as long as possible, but for reasons beyond our control we have to set sail to new shores. We must go… and when we do, we do it in style." 

Located within a former congress hall of the Deutsches Museum’s Forum des Techniks, BLITZ opened in April 2017, having hosted performances from DJs such as Richie Hawtin, Seth Troxler, Laurent Garnier, Ellen Alien, Jeff Mills, Miss Kittin, Surgeon and many more over the past nine years.

The venue has gained a reputation for its design, including a custom four-point VOID soundsystem and wall panels modelled after the behaviour of swarming animals in order to provide optimal acoustics.
