Zoom (Sinkkasten)

Zoom is a modern event centre and live music venue in eastern Frankfurt, located within the architecturally distinctive U.F.O. complex. The venue occupies the former premises of the renowned Cocoon club and, following an extensive redesign, has been adapted for contemporary concerts, club nights and other events. Its total capacity reaches up to 2,700 guests, with several separate areas allowing the venue to accommodate events of different formats and sizes.

Inside, striking design is combined with professional production infrastructure. The main Saal accommodates up to 1,800 people, the Kantine up to 500 and the Bar up to 200, with professional lighting and sound systems installed throughout the venue. This configuration allows Zoom to retain a more intimate club atmosphere even when hosting larger concerts and technically demanding productions.

The venue is located at Carl-Benz-Straße 21, Frankfurt, Germany. Zoom does not have its own visitor parking, but public street parking is available around the venue, subject to local parking restrictions. For public transport, tram lines 11 and 12 stop at Dieselstraße, while bus 41 serves Carl-Benz-Straße Nord, followed by a short walk towards the entrance.

Frankfurt am Main, known for its striking skyline, is not only a business hub but also a top destination for concerts and sporting spectacles. The city blends big-city energy with relaxed riverside walks, making it easy to pair a night out at an event with a short city break. With a strong range of entertainment options, a wide choice of arenas and stadiums, and lively neighbourhoods, Frankfurt is a great pick for anyone looking for high-level entertainment without unnecessary hassle.

The city prides itself on a highly practical transport setup: the RMV network connects the wider region, while within the city you’ll most often rely on S-Bahn, U-Bahn, Straßenbahn (tram) and buses. Getting in is straightforward for rail travellers via Frankfurt (Main) Hauptbahnhof, and for those arriving by air through Flughafen Frankfurt am Main (FRA). Links to the main event locations are excellent, so reaching stadiums and venues such as Deutsche Bank Park, Festhalle Frankfurt or Jahrhunderthalle is typically quick and easy to navigate, with frequent services and clear interchanges.

Take the chance to explore the city before or after the show: stroll through the historic centre around Römerberg, admire the elegant Alte Oper, and enjoy the promenade along the River Main, which combines urban buzz with calmer spots to unwind. Culture lovers often choose the Museumsufer, while for an evening atmosphere Alt-Sachsenhausen is popular for its traditional taverns. If you’re after shopping or simply lively city crowds, Zeil is a must, and for a classic metropolitan feel, just find a good viewpoint over Frankfurt’s skyline.
