Knust is one of the old-timers in club history. Admittedly, the live music club got a facelift three years ago when it was relocated into an old slaughterhouse, but its story began a lot earlier, in 1976. The stage is open to anybody, whether it serves as a home for the North German folk and rockabilly scene or as a spingboard for young musical talents. It is because of this openness that the club has obtained its seal of quality from Spex music magazine in the early 90s, which named Knust Germany's best live club. Whether it's Rock 'n' Roll, St. Pauli football fan parties or Electro, Celtic parties or Pop music, Knust is still up to date and sounds a lot more fresh than you would assume (given its name which can be translated 'stale bread').
