PAROOKAVILLE announces Charlotte de Witte, Axwell, The Chainsmokers, Fisher and Scooter as first headliners

From July 17 to 19, 2026, PAROOKAVILLE will once again open its city gates at Weeze  Airport (NRW) for its 225,000 citizens. In the crazy festival city, legendary party vibes  meet the most in-demand artists across all electronic genres. The first four headliners  for the coming year were already presented to the huge PAROOKAVILLE community in  recent days, with Charlotte de Witte, Axwell, The Chainsmokers and Fisher generating  tens of thousands of enthusiastic reactions. Today, the fifth headliner as well as nearly  thirty additional national and international acts follow, further fueling the anticipation  for the City of Dreams: 

For more than 30 years, SCOOTER has been making music history. The band led by  frontman H. P. Baxxter is Germany’s most successful techno act, with more than 2.5  billion streams, over 1,000 sold-out shows, and numerous gold and platinum awards  worldwide. In 2026, they will travel to the City of Dreams for the third time and, as a  headliner on festival Sunday, will bring their cult rave sound to Bill’s Factory. 

Techno queen Charlotte de Witte has long since evolved from the underground into  one of the most in-demand acts worldwide. She recently released her debut album and  was once again named the highest-ranked female artist in the DJ Mag Top 100. The  Belgian native will bring her powerful techno sound to the Main Stage on festival Friday. 

Swedish DJ and producer Axwell has already appeared in the City of Dreams three times  as a part of the duo AxwellΛIngrosso. As part of the duo and as member of Swedish  House Mafia, he has shaped the global festival sound with mega-hits such as »Sun Is  Shining«, »Don’t You Worry Child« and »More Than You Know«, earning five Grammy  nominations. Next year, Axwell will return as a solo act to the PAROOKAVILLE Main Stage on Friday. 

The Chainsmokers will thrill the citizens of PAROOKAVILLE on the Main Stage for the  fourth time – this time on festival Saturday. With their signature sound, blending  energetic beats with pop, indie, alternative, and rock elements, the duo has left a lasting  mark on the scene. A multi-year residency in Las Vegas, diamond-certified singles such  as »Closer« (feat. Halsey) and »Something Just Like This« (feat. Coldplay), and a Grammy  Award for »Best Dance Recording« are just a glimpse of their outstanding career.

On festival Sunday, Paul Nicholas Fisher, aka Fisher, will bring his unique live  performance with driving tech-house beats to the PAROOKAVILLE Main Stage. Since  his breakthrough in 2018 with the hit »Losing It«, a string of gold- and platinum certified club hits and massive crowds at every one of his shows have proven that the  success of the Grammy-nominated Australian DJ and tech-house producer – rooted in  positive vibes and carefree energy – is far more than just a hype. 

From the very beginning of the City of Dreams, Lost Identity has played a special role  in the PAROOKAVILLE line-up. As a resident DJ, his high-energy hardstyle sets have  guaranteed ecstatic parties in front of the stages year after year, and with appearances  at Tomorrowland, Electric Love Festival and across Asia, he has long since established  himself as a major force in the scene. In 2026, Lost Identity will perform the Main Stage  closing after the PAROOKAVILLE ceremony on Saturday, and on Sunday he will host his  own stage at the Power Plant with »Lost Identity & Friends«. 

Rising and established acts from the scene expand the line-up  

The Italian duo Agents of Time captivates the crowd with its mesmerizing mix of techno,  house and ambient sounds and will return to the City of Dreams this year.

As one of Germany’s best-known DJs, Alle Farben stands for major festival anthems  combined with rousing deep and tech-house sounds. He was not only the producer of  the official PAROOKAVILLE anthem »Lotus« (2024), but is also one of the exclusive acts  featured in the new anniversary book, including an interview in which he provides  exciting insights into the City of Dreams. 

German multi-instrumentalist and gold- and platinum-certified composer Avaion  creates hypnotic sounds with basslines, beats, vocal rap, and self-played instruments. With hits such as »Everytime We Touch« and »Evacuate The Dancefloor«, Cascada have  been among the most influential acts in the international dance music scene for almost  25 years and already caused a state of euphoria on the Brainwash stage last year.

The Norwegian Hardstyle duo Da Tweekaz is celebrated worldwide with hits like  »Jägermeister« and »How Far I’ll Go«, captivating crowds at the world’s biggest  festivals. 

DJ and producer Ely Oaks has long secured his place in the EDM world with hits such  as »Running Around« and »Borderline«. He celebrated his PAROOKAVILLE debut in  2025. 

The sets of Gestört aber GeiL are celebrated by PAROOKAVILLE citizens year after year.  The duo’s signature sound blends deep house with electro and has already earned them  numerous gold and platinum awards.

The DJ and producer duo Harris & Ford deliver dynamic performances with a mix of  hardstyle, EDM, bounce and psy-trance, as well as tracks such as »Irrenhaus« and »God  Save the Rave«. 

HBz have also consistently got PAROOKAVILLE citizens partying in recent years with  their remixes and original tracks. 

Hardstyle artist Rooler has firmly established his name within the scene. With fresh  music and outstanding DJ skills, the citizens can look forward to a top-tier hardstyle set. All hardstyle fans can also look forward to Sickmode. The Italian artist brings high energy live sets with a unique hardstyle sound to the City of Dreams. With his rousing hits and raw, harder solo underground sets, Topic regularly fills the  area in front of the City of Dream’s stages. 

And once again will successful DJ and producer Tujamo make a stop in Weeze with his  unmistakable live performance.
