Parookaville Shares First 27 Acts on 2026 Lineup

Axwell, The Chainsmokers, Charlotte De Witte, FISHER, and Scooter top the Parookaville 2026 initial lineup.

Another day, another lineup announcement. This one comes courtesy of Parookaville, which is slated to descend upon Airport Weeze in its namesake city in Germany on July 17-19. To build anticipation, organizers have shared 27 of the artists slated to perform at this year’s event.

The five most prominent headliners on the bill are Swedish House Mafia member Axwell, US pop-EDM duo The Chainsmokers, Belgian techno-trance queen Charlotte De Witte, Australian tech house titan FISHER, and German hard dance group Scooter. Each one occupies a different range of the dance music spectrum. Together, they will deliver a wide variety of music to those fortunate enough to attend.

The undercard — if you can call it that — also features its fair share of highly rated talent. From house and techno acts like Agents of Time and Moguai to hard dance artists like Da Tweekaz and Rooler, the sounds represented on the Parookaville 2026 lineup are many. There are even trance DJs like ATB and big room acts like Tujamo on the bill.

Parookaville’s organizers have been quick to point out that numerous other headliners will be announced between now and July. Ahead of the 2025 event, they had announced more than 100 of that year’s performers by January as part of the phase two lineup.

Parookaville was founded in 2015 by Bernd Dicks, Norbert Trawinski, and Georg Troska, who attribute the “City of Dreams” to a legendary figure named Bill Parooka in promotional materials. Given that COVID-19 restrictions forced organizers to pause operations in 2020 and 2021, 2026 will mark the festival’s tenth edition.

Tickets start at €269 ($316 USD) for all three days. Purchase yours and find additional information on the Parookaville website.
