This weekend, the sleepy town of Weeze transformed into a pulsating metropolis of music, art, and fantasy as Parookaville, Germany’s largest electronic music festival, marked its 10th anniversary with over 225,000 attendees flooding the grounds of the former Royal Air Force base.
A City of Beats and Dreams
Parookaville isn’t just a festival—it’s a fictional city built in honor of its mythical founder, Bill Parooka, whose legacy of “Madness, Love, and Pure Happiness” lives on through immersive stages, tattoo parlors, swimming pools, and even a chapel where fans can tie the knot. Every visitor becomes a “citizen,” complete with a passport and access to themed districts like the Power Plant, Cloud Factory, and Bill’s Factory, each hosting world-renowned DJs including David Guetta, Armin van Buuren, and Steve Aoki.
A Brief History
Founded in 2015, Parookaville was envisioned as more than a music event—it was designed as a utopian escape where electronic music lovers could unite under a shared narrative. The festival’s rapid rise to fame is credited to its unique blend of storytelling, fantasy architecture, and genre-spanning lineups from techno to hardstyle

Beyond the Music
This year’s edition also spotlighted sustainability, with eco-friendly camping zones, reusable materials, and public transport incentives. The festival’s motto, “Be who you are,” resonated deeply as attendees danced beneath elaborate light shows and interactive art installations. Parookaville continues to redefine what a music festival can be—not just a weekend of sound, but a living, breathing city of imagination.
