You arrive late. It’s loud. Everyone came with their group.
So we flipped the night around.
The plan
Music’s low, hosts say hi, talking is still easy.
Stickers for the languages you speak. Still the best icebreaker we know.
No rounds, no scripts, no standing in circles. Conversations just start.
Music up — two floors, open-air terrace. And now you know people on the dance floor.
Come for the conversations.
Stay for the party.
Coming alone?
Most people walk in solo. Nobody asks why — half the room did the same.
★★★★★
“Very safe for people who come alone too. The people are very welcoming and you quickly feel included in lots of conversations!”
And if you ever feel out of place — find the team. We’re hard to miss. Community Values
What to expect
The idea is simple: a night where talking to strangers feels normal.

From our weekly socials — same flags, same team you’ll meet at the door on October 3.
★★★★★
“Melting Pot is the main reason I have friends in Cologne at all. I started coming knowing barely anyone. Over 9 months I made amazing friends from all over the world.”
★★★★★
“New to Cologne and without friends? That was me too. Then I came to Melting Pot and now I have many friends here. One girl I met there is now my best friend in Cologne.”
★★★★★
“You get sticker flags you can put on your chest which say what languages you speak. Works as a great ice breaker when approaching people you don’t know.”

Where & when
Questions
Yes, most do. The first part of the night exists so arriving solo feels normal. Bring someone
Everything from 19:00 to 04:00 — the meet-first part and the full party. One ticket, no upgrades. Drinks not included.
Arriving before 22:00: Early Bird (€10, limited), then SMP + Party (€12). Not sure when you’ll make it, or coming later: Flexible (€14) is guaranteed entry all night. Five of you: Group Flexible, €60 for five Flexible tickets.
Those two tickets are for entry before 22:00. After that, entry depends on capacity — if it’s full, we can’t get you in. If 22:00 is tight for you, Flexible is the safe pick: guaranteed entry all night.
Get Flexible — you’re guaranteed in, all night. You’ll just miss the easiest part for meeting people. No ticket at all? Late-night admission may be available directly at the venue after 22:00, depending on capacity and venue pricing.
Then 19:00 is your friend. It’s calm, the hosts are easy to find, and your flags give people a reason to talk to you first.
Find anyone from the SMP team, any time. The night runs on respect and consent — read our Community Values.
No problem. Just forward the e-ticket email to a friend — the ticket is valid for whoever brings it. Your €10 isn’t lost, and someone you like gets a Saturday night they’ll talk about. One tip for them: be there at 19:00.
By 23:00, the dance floor is full of people who met at 19:00.
Be one of them.
You don’t need a plus-one. You just need a ticket.
