The Dome Event is the twenty-sixth album by Klaus Schulze.

Although released in 1993, The Dome Event is a live concert that was played on May 11, 1991, in Germany at the Cologne Cathedral, also called "The Dome". Other musicians were playing that day, including Ash Ra and Blue Chip Orchestra.

The album belongs to the "sampling" period of Schulze's. The beginning of the concert can be seen as a collage of samples, especially "ethnical" voices, percussions, instruments. The rest of the concert relies a lot on samples.

"After Eleven" was composed in the studio, and is not a piece played during the concert.
