and more. Now the first 40 or so artists and headliners are set for the festival’s big anniversary edition! From July 18th – 20th, 2025, the 225,000 attendees of Germany’s largest Electronic Music Festival will celebrate a weekend full of lunacy, love and pure joy at Weeze Airport in Germany’s NRW region. While work continues on adding even more surprises for this very special edition of Europe’s most unique festival city, some of the world’s most in-demand acts have now been confirmed for the hottest party weekend in July.

Steve Aoki has never missed an edition of PAROOKAVILLE, and he’s not about to pass up this special anniversary! With more than 16 million monthly Spotify listeners, this visionary is renowned for both his music and his spectacular live performances, including his “Cake Me” sessions. Timmy Trumpet and his live trumpet performances are legendary, and Timmy returns to the Parookaville Mainstage for the sixth time in 2025 to fire up the festival with his special energy.

Afrojack returns to the Mainstage for the big anniversary. With a slew of hit collaborations with other artists including Pitbull and David Guetta under his belt, he’s one of the biggest international names in the dance scene, and his consistent top placements in DJ Mag’s rankings impressively underscore his popularity around the globe.

Dutch superstar Hardwell will also be back to conquer PAROOKAVILLE’s Mainstage in 2025. The three-time winner of the “World’s No. 1 DJ” title (DJ Mag Top 100 DJs Rankings) has enraptured audiences for years with his highenergy Progressive House sound, while songs like “Spaceman” and “Apollo” have long since become staple hymns in the festival canon. Also swooping in from the Netherlands, the duo W&W stand for an explosive Trance and Big Room sound. Their sensational 2018 crowd-pleaser “Sandsturm” cemented their special place in Parookaville history in 2018. Future House pioneer Oliver Heldens has revolutionised the electronic music scene with tracks like “Gecko (Overdrive)” and “Koala”. His collabs with luminaries including Tiësto and Calvin Harris and his many hits have made him one of the scene’s most celebrated artists.

The Cloud Factory’s first confirmed headliners include French DJ I Hate Models, beloved for his dark, emotional tracks, and American DJ and music producer Sara Landry. Sara has built up a loyal following and established her place in the scene with her signature dark, driving Industrial Techno, and she’s headed to the City of Dreams for the first time in 2025 to win over the Parookaville crowd.

International breakout artists, loads of premiere performances and “Female Power” on the side stages In addition to our well-established headliners, our side stages will host every genre of electronic music and hundreds of riveting artists!

Belgian artist Amber Broos is famed for her powerful House and Techno sets, and she’s primed to conquer the Cloud Factory’s dancefloors for the first 6me next July. Naples, Italy-based DJ Anfisa Letyago continues to make an ever-growing name for herself in the Underground scene, and she’s also set to debut at Madness City next year. Fatima, whose energy-packed Techno sets are drawing worldwide attention, will fly in from Spain for the big Parookaville anniversary. She and British rising star Hannah Laing, busy tearing up the streaming charts right now with “Good Love” and “Party All The Time”, are among the absolute highlight DJs for next year’s festival.

Our PAROOKAVILLE “Special Edition” is also honored to confirm a performance by Mark Knight. Over the last two decades or so, Mark has become a respected veteran of the House and Techno scene whose hits continue to dominate the top echelons of the charts. And Morten is not only David Guetta’s production partner, but he’s also taking off in his own right at the moment with a successful single collaboration with Artbat.

Morten will celebrate his premiere on the PAROOKAVILLE Mainstage in 2025, bringing his special sound that ranges from gripping melodic vocals to his celebrated bass drops. Shimza, who has topped the global scene in record time with his Afro-inspired Techno and House sounds, has accumulated over one million monthly listeners and several million streams on Spotify.

“We’re thrilled about this big anniversary and very proud of the excep6onal history PAROOKAVILLE has written over the last ten years. Now, with the first 40 outstanding acts confirmed, we’re ready to go full on in making »10 YEARS PAROOKAVILLE« a unique experience for ourselves and our Citizens, and yet another milestone in this one of-a-kind festival’s story.” -Bernd Dicks (co-founder and Managing Director of Parookaville GmbH.)

Parookaville favorite Brennan Heart is headed back to the City of Dreams. This Hardstyle act has been on hand rocking the festival every year since 2017, and 2025 will be no exception. Gestört aber GeiL, whose set is currently the most-streamed performance from the latest edition of PAROOKAVILLE on the festival’s official YouTube channel, has grown into one of our audience’s absolute fave acts and are a must for the upcoming anniversary party.
