PAROOKAVILLE Expands its 10 Anniversary Lineup with ALOK, ARTBAT, KSHMR and more

PAROOKAVILLE expands its anniversary line-up with top acts including Alok, ARTBAT and KSHMR. First major festival announcement by Felix Jaehn for 2025.

In just under five months the gates of the City of Dreams at Airport Weeze (NRW. Germany) will open once again. A weekend filled with lunacy, love and pure joy awaits the citizens of PAROOKAVILLE this coming July 18th to 20th. The festival’s anniversary edition has already announced top acts including Armin van Buuren, Hardwell, Indira Paganotto, Steve Aoki and many more. Now the organizers have expanded the line-up by some 30 more artists.

Brazilian DJ Alok is one of his home country’s most widely followed artists, boasting
some 24 million monthly listeners and over 6 billion Spotify streams. His EDM productions and songs like “Deep Down” and “Hear Me Now” have rocketed him several times now to 4th place in DJ Mag’s Top 100 rankings. Alok made his first appearance at the City of Dreams in 2023. The same year he played a New Year’s Eve show at the Copacabana to an audience of over 1 million spectators. He returns as a headliner to PAROOKAVILLE in 2025.

Ukrainian duo ARTBAT is set to celebrate its Parookaville premiere this year with no less
than a coveted headline spot. The duo has developed in recent years from an underground secret into one of the most in-demand acts in the electronic music scene. Their meteoric rise has been propelled by the chart success of songs like “Age of Love (Rave Remix)”, “Horizon” and “Best of Me”, collaborations with stars including David Guetta and Idris Elba and performances at acclaimed international festivals. ARTBAT’s mix of Melodic House and Techno in their energetic sets wins over audiences every time.

Felix Jaehn has been an established artist in the world’s music scene for around a decade now. It all kicked of with their remix of OMI’s “Cheerleader” when it hit the No. 1 spot on the charts in 55 countries. Felix Jaehn’s songs and collabs have racked up over 200 Diamond, Platinum and Gold awards and dominated radio stations and international dancefloors alike. Felix temporarily took a break from the world’s biggest festival stages last August. Their appearance at “10 Years PAROOKAVILLE” is their first major festival announcement in 2025, so fans can once again look forward to Felix Jaehn’s incomparable positive energy live onstage.

US act KSHMR has been a fixture in the EDM scene since 2014. His Big Room Electro House sound is characterised by influences from his Indian roots. He has previously worked with acts including Tiesto, Hardwell and R3HAB and released hits such as “Secrets” and “Kids”. As a regular guest at PAROOKAVILLLE, KSHMR has prepared a very special show indeed for the festival’s upcoming anniversary edition featuring live multi-instrumental musicians augmenting his DJ set.

New highlights and familiar beats in the City of Dreams
Italian DJ Alignment lives in Berlin, where his mix of Hard Techno und 90s Trance has
seen him develop into a popular act on the world’s Techno scene. This year marks his
debut as a performer in the City of Dreams.

Dutch duo Dual Damage stand for original Hardstyle sounds that rip dancefloors apart.
They celebrated their premiere at PAROOKAVILLE last year, and this year they’ll be back
for the anniversary edition.

While his brother Paul has already played PAROOKAVILLE twice, Fritz Kalkbrenner
celebrates his Parookaville debut this year. Fritz Kalkbrenner’s driving, melodic electro
sets are particularly unique for their live vocals.

Gunz for Hire last performed at PAROOKAVILLE in 2019. This duo revolutionized the
Hardstyle scene with their one-of-a-kind sound and songs like “Put it On”, “Bolivia”
and many more.

PAROOKAVILLE’s organisers have fulfilled yet another audience wish with this year’s
appearance by Holy Priest. The DJ in a white mask with a black cross will make his
premiere at PAROOKAVILLE as one of the first acts confirmed for the Thursday at the
festival in Desert Valley.

Laidback Luke is an inspiring figure of the Dance- & Electro-scene. By passing on his knowledge and experience, he is regarded as a mentor to younger star DJs including Avicii, Afrojack and Oliver Heldens. Laidback Luke returns to the City of Dreams with a characteristically energetic set.

In addition, this year also sees the return of beloved acts including Laura van Dam, LEVT, LIZOT, LOVRA, Mark with a K & MC Chucky, OBS, Pajane and YouNotUs bringing their power-packed sets to the City of Dreams.
