Locomotiv Club Concerts 2025

Nice venue with good acoustics, close to the station and lots of different people playing. You'll need a special card to attend many events, make sure to keep that in mind!

Criminal! charging people for a membership at the door to a show they already paid for! 👎 👎👎👎👎👎 We went to see Siegfried and Joy last night and I think it was both the best magic show and funniest comedy show I’ve ever seen. Totally worth going to see. Really entertaining! Unfortunately, on arriving the Locomotive Club told everyone in the line we had to be club members to enter, despite having bought tickets to the show. They insisted we scan a QR code on the side of the club and sign up online and pay €8.50 each for a club membership. To say I was ticked off would be an understatement and let them know it. Of course the guy telling us this says “sorry, I don’t make the rules”. They always send someone to deal with the public who doesn’t make the rules. Why don’t the peope who make the rules ever come talk to peope? Hmmm 🤔 So, you are there with your tickets trying to enjoy an evening then forced to sign up for something on your mobile phone in the rain. This is an example of the problem with this digital age. Expecting everyone to have a phone with them and charged at all time, to scan codes, or just having an extra €8 to spend. Some of us seriously don’t have extra money to spare and rarely go out because of it… forced to pay for something you don’t want to get what you already paid for. Even after purchasing the tickets online, we were forced to download a specific app to access them and then the ticket QR codes do not become available until 2 hours before the show. It’s always complicated in Italy, every single concert or show is problematic with tickets, times, and lineups. It’s unreal. Of course if we didn’t pay there would be no refund of tickets as the tickets are sold separately from the club. And, signing up online didn’t work so I am then forced to pay for the membership inside the door. Ridiculous. This is criminal in my opinion and I let them know it and others in the line felt the same way and expressed it. What a way to ruin a fun evening. Don’t ever go to the Lockomotive Club in Bologna! Club managers, you should be ashamed of yourselves for doing this to people! 👎👎

Nice small intimate club. But you HAVE to buy AICS card to enter.

Great little venue, was lucky enough to see a fairly big band here, the venue's limited size created an awesome atmosphere. My only gripe is that they made you pay and sign up to their membership prior to going in. It was mandatory, in the UK people would be up in arms if they were made to do the same.

Small club, great for concerts if your favourite band is playing because you can get a close up view if you go early and stand near the stage. It does get crowded given the size of the joint. The toilets according to my standards are a bit stinky, maybe because they are unisex, for this reason my rating is 3/5 stars. The place can get got, but they have a cloak room at 3 euros or so. By the way don't be surprised if you need to get a membership card (8 euros) for you to get into the club. 😘
