The Amphi Festival is a music festival that has been taking place since 2005 featuring a wide-ranging program for a heterogenous audience, albeit primarily fans of alternative, industrial music, und gothic music.

The first Amphi Festival took place in its namesake at the Amphitheater in Gelsenkirchen, Germany but since 2006 the Tanzbrunnen in Cologne has been the site of the two-day festival. Several bands perform both on the covered open-air stage as well as on an indoor stage. Previously the indoor stage, since 2009 the theater has only been used for showing movies and band DVDs or as a disco. The Rheinparkhalle took over the role of the indoor stage. The range of artists ranges from electro and future pop to rock music as well as medieval rock.

There is also a disco program in the evening as well as readings and theater productions. Orkus magazine is the official sponsor of the festival.
