Marten Hørger Delivers Official Parookaville 2026 Anthem 'Rave'

German producer Marten Hørger has been handed one of the biggest jobs in the European festival calendar: the official Parookaville 2026 anthem. The track, simply titled 'Rave', is out now via Kontor Records and lands just days before the festival returns to Weeze Airport from 17–19 July 2026.

'Rave' is built exactly the way a mainstage anthem should be — a relentless tech-house groove, a stripped-back drop, and enough peak-time weight to carry a crowd of tens of thousands. It sits comfortably inside the bass-house lane Hørger has spent the last few years defining, but it is noticeably more direct, clearly written with a festival PA in mind rather than a club.

For Hørger, the commission is personal. "Parookaville Festival has become a second home to me over the years," he said. "I'm incredibly proud and excited to deliver this year's official anthem."

Parookaville 2026 adds World Cup screenings

This year's edition also marks a first for the German festival: Parookaville will broadcast FIFA World Cup matches on the festival grounds during the weekend — a nod to how many summer events are working the tournament into their programming. Swedish House Mafia are doing something similar in Ibiza with their World Cup final screening at Ushuaïa.

With three days at Weeze Airport, a fresh anthem and football on the big screens, Parookaville 2026 is shaping up as one of the busiest weekends of the German summer.
