Parookaville Stuns with First 2025 Lineup Announcement

Sara Landry, Hardwell, Steve Aoki, and I Hate Models are among the Parookaville 2025 headliners.

Germany’s biggest dance music festival has just announced the first batch of headliners for its 10th anniversary edition. Parookaville 2025 will take place at Airport Weeze in the Lower Rhine region from July 18-20, and a number of the world’s most famous DJs will help make it an occasion to remember.

Across the top of the first Parookaville 2025 lineup announcement graphic are familiar big room faces like Afrojack, Hardwell, Steve Aoki, and Timmy Trumpet. As a sign of the times, however, they’re accompanied by hard techno stalwarts I Hate Models and Sara Landry. The former is a French star of the genre who broke through thanks to his 2016 effort Warehouse Memories EP on ARTS. The latter has emerged as the de facto hard techno poster child following the pandemic.

They’re accompanied by two dozen more artists on phase one of the Parookaville 2025 lineup. Hard dance fans in particular will delight in number of acts belonging to their genre of choice, among them Sub Zero Project, Coone, Brennan Heart, Da Tweekaz, and D-Block & S-Te-Fan. Appealing to house heads are performers like Mark Knight, Shimza, and MORTEN. Even trance dabblers like Neelix, Hannah Laing, and Trancemaster Krause appear on the bill.

Parookaville, which has taken place annually since 2015, touts itself as Germany’s biggest electronic music festival. Over the course of the three-day gathering, 225,000 revelers are expected to descend upon Airport Weeze if recent years’ attendance figures serve as any indication.
