Neustadt-Glewe im Rausch: Airbeat One inspires 200,000 fans!

What a spectacle there was in Neustadt-Glewe! From 10 to July 13, 2025, the airfield turned into a party zone for the Airbeat One Festival . Over 200,000 visitors from more than 50 countries flocked in to enjoy the best beats of electronic dance music for three days and four nights. “Viva España” was the chosen motto of this year's festival, and it was not possible to deny that the Iberian peninsula became alive on the stages.

This edition of the festival, an integral part of the electronic music scene since 2002, presented a total of 250 DJs and artists on six stages. That meant more than 225 hours of continuous music for all festival guests. With trendy acts such as Armin van Buuren, Steve Aoki and Timmy Trumpet, the crowd hardly kept on their seats - they danced, celebrated and enjoyed the unique experience.

a touch of Spain

The main stage of the festival was spectacularly designed. She was modeled on both the Madrid bullfighting arena Las Ventas and the famous Sagrada Família. The combination of traditional flamenco and modern electronic sounds, with talented flamenca dancers, ensured a unique atmosphere. It was a real fusion that took visitors into another world.

Prime Minister Manuela Schwesig (SPD), who visited the festival, was enthusiastic about the hustle and bustle. During a conversation with DJ Neelix, the question arose how the Jamaica coalition can benefit from such lively events. Because festivals are not just social events; They drive the economy and attract tourists to the region.

Security and order in festival operation

Despite the gigantic crowd, the process remained largely smooth. The police recorded only 134 criminal charges, including 11 violations of the Narcotics Act and 31 drivers who were under the influence of alcohol or drugs. With regard to the security, around 170 civil servants were deployed every day, which shows that the organizers and authorities had a good knack for the safety of the guests.

that the Airbeat One Festival, which operates with a cashless playment system and well-thought-out security measures, is one of the largest electric music festivals in Europe is no coincidence. wikipedia emphasizes that there is a great demand for such events: every second German occasionally visits a music event.

A look into the future

and during the Spanish motto the visitors enchanted this year, the next year will prepare the stage for a new highlight: in 2026 the festival will take place under the motto of the Netherlands. It remains exciting to see how the festival will develop.

The enthusiasm for music events, especially in the summer months, goes hand in hand with a boom in the event industry. Statista illustrated that the live music market in Germany could forecast for around 1.6 billion euros by 2027. The Airbeat One Festival is a striking example of this trend and shows how much joy and feeling of community can bring such events - in line with music and celebration.
