From July 18th – 20th, 2025, 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.
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.
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 high-energy Progressive House sound, while songs like “Spaceman” and “Apollo” have long since become staple hymns in the festival canon.
Dutch 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.
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.
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.
PAROOKAVILLE “Special Edition” is also honoured 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.
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.

Parookaville favourite 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.
