Party starts on Thursday 17th until Sunday 20th of July so keep lookout for your favorite DJ and head on down and support the local club scene.

Floats:
1Live – Köln / Deutschland
Under the motto “One Beat - One Ruhrgebiet - 1LIVE,” the most successful young radio station in Germany will be underway with their own float again. The 1LIVE rockers Mousse T. and Moguai, as well as Mike Litt and DJ Larse, known from 1LIVE clubbing, will supply the right beats. The much sought after spaces on the float can only be won by listening to the 1LIVE radio show.

Airport – Würzburg / Deutschland
The Airport Würzburg is a legend on the clubbing scene. The Airport, which has been around for 25 years, is not only one of the best known and oldest German house and techno clubs, but also one of the most popular. Ever since techno emerged from EBM and acid house at the end of the 80s, the five, cozy living-room-like areas have been the site of unbelievably hot parties and wild, colourful nights of dancing til’ dawn.
Bassevents – Aartselaar / Belgien
Bassevents is the organizer of parties in Belgium for more than 20,000 guests. From the music point of view, people dance in the style which is becoming more and more popular here these days, the hardstyle, famous for its incredible dance styles. After a break of several years, the Loveparade finally has a representative from Belgium to boast again.
