Founded in 2007 as a micro-club in Zschochersche Straße, the club moved to larger premises in the west of Leipzig in 2012. Since then, Eli has developed into the full-blown club it is today, with international bookings but also intensive support for young talent. We want to preserve our essence as an experimental sound workshop and offer a stage to newcomers as well as new concepts and niche genres.

In addition to our own Eli events, we regularly host collectives who organize their own events with us and provide a weekly variety of clubbing and raving.

High-quality sound is a matter close to our hearts. Our main floor, the “eli-Floor”, is equipped with 4 Danley Soundlabs tops and 6 basses. Smaller concerts also take place here from time to time.
Since September ’24, the DJ booth has been in the middle, where two DJs can play “face2face” while dance platforms give the audience the best view. The concept is unique in Leipzig and offers a club experience that you simply have to experience for yourself.

Our basement floor, the “xxs Kronik”, has a unique lighting concept and the DJ booth in the middle of the room channels the energy of a club night between the artists and the crowd. 6 tops and 8 basses provide a 360° sound experience.
