AIRBEAT ONE Festival drops an incredible music and entertainment bomb. While announcing the full incredible lineup for this year’s edition, festival organizers also announced that the price for the 3-day ticket will be reduced to an amazing 99.00 Euros. This incredible offer was only made possible because a pool of sponsors and partners refinanced the tickets to thank festival-goers, and support the festival. This makes AIRBEAT ONE 2022 one of the best value-for-money festivals throughout the whole of Europe while delivering a summer lineup that is certainly in the top three of any festival throughout the entire continent.

Over 300 artists across six stages in a lineup unmatched by anything else, this year’s festival is easily the largest electronic music festival in Northern Germany. The Main Stage lineup is packed with global superstars such as Kygo, Marshmello, DJ Snake, and Tiesto. Superstar DJs and producers Kygo and Marshmello will play their only German shows this year exclusively at AIRBEAT ONE. Another exclusive main stage act in the Neustadt-Glewe is the acclaimed trio ‘3 Are Legend’, consisting of Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike and Steve Aoki, who are all due to perform one of their extremely rare b2b sets.

An incredible 37 of this year’s total 100 DJ Mag Top 100 DJs will be playing at AIRBEAT ONE. Known as the world’s most important DJ ranking poll, 19 of the 27 DJs playing on the Main Stage feature in the DJ Mag Top 100. The main stage lineup includes prominent DJ Mag Top 100 DJ stars such as Afrojack, Armin Van Buuren, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, DJ Snake, Don Diablo, KSHMR, Kygo, Marshmello, NERVO, Oliver Heldens, Steve Aoki, Tiesto, Timmy Trumpet, Vini Vici, W&W, Bassjackers, Danny Avila, Mariana Bo, and Will Sparks. No other festival in Germany can boast as high a standard of DJs this festival season.

With Boris Brechja, Charlotte de Witte, Claptone, Fisher, and Vintage Culture, the new Arena Stage also delivers many of DJ Mag’s Top 100 house and techno music superstars. And with Elrow announced as an AIRBEAT ONE exclusive stage host, there’s something exciting, and alluring for everyone at this year’s festival. The most colorful and unique party label hailing from Spain will feature exclusively at AIRBEAT ONE this year, promising to bring with them top headliners such as Kšlsch, Camelphat, and the iconic Paul Kalkbrenner.

The legendary Terminal Stage features other headline acts from DJ Mag’s Top 100 poll including Alan Walker, ALOK, Fedde Le Grande, Lost Frequencies, Morten, Nora En Pure, Quintino, Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano, and VIZE. In addition, there are German superstars such as AlleFarben, Topic, GestšrtaberGeiL, Lari Luke and Robin Schulz, chart smashers such as Hugel and Ofenbach, and many many more.

Later on, the Terminal Stage also offers top international headliners from bass to the dubstep genre, genre superstars such as Tchami, Malaa, Zeds Dead, Moksi and Netsky. While American superstar Dillon Francis completes this year’s unforgettable Terminal Stage lineup. Francis will play his only festival show in Germany, exclusively at AIRBEAT ONE.

AIRBEAT ONE has secured another German exclusive for the 2022 festival season. The world’s leading hardstyle label Q-dance’s only German appearance this year will be at AIRBEAT ONE. With a lineup that boasts headline superstars such as Angerfist, Brennan Heart, and Miss K8, three acts that have also appeared in DJ Mag’s Top 100 poll.

You can be sure they will shake the Gladiator Stage to its very foundations.

The unforgettable second stage of AIRBEAT ONE Festival expands from the spectrum of Goa and PsyTrance by adding iconic trance artists to this year’s lineup. Trance and all-round electronic dance legend Ferry Corsten, a consummate DJ Mag Top 100 leader will be playing, other trance icons such as Cosmic Gate, Markus Schulz, Morten Granau, and Sander Van Doorn (Presents Purple Haze) are helping expand on the already incredible lineup of PsyTrance DJs that include Ace Ventura, Alpha9, Aly & Fila, Andrew Rayel, Animato, Astrix, Avalon, Ben Nicky, Berg, Blastoys, Bliss, Bubble. Captain Hook, ClaudinhoBrasil, Fabio Fusco, and Ghost Rider.

„After two years of the Corona enforced cancellation of AIRBEAT ONE, we were insanely looking forward to being able to celebrate a carefree festival without the fear of restrictions. Unfortunately, with the war in Ukraine, inflation, rising prices, and additional expenses, circumstances have arisen this year that make it difficult for many to celebrate carefree. Therefore, we have talked to our sponsors, who have agreed to financially lower the tickets for the benefit of festival-goers and the festival itself. Therefore we are now able to lower the price of the 3-day festival tickets to a sensational 99.00 Euros, so that as many people as possible will be able to afford the small festival vacation in Neustadt-Glewe (and can party and experience incredible music for a few days, much like we did before the days of Corona and before the war)“ explains AIRBEATONE event manager Sebastian Eggert.

This price drop makes AIRBEAT ONE Festival 2022 one of, if not ‘the’ most affordable three-day festival in Germany and across Europe. AIRBEAT ONE boasts a lineup that can only be matched by electronic music festivals such as Creamfields or Tomorrowland. And festival ticket value vs quality of performer will never be matched again. This ultimate state-of-the-art production of one of the ultimate super-festivals in Europe should not be missed by any music fan this summer.

3-day tickets for AIRBEAT ONE Festival, which takes place from July 6th to 10th at the Neustadt-Glewe airfield in Mecklenburg – Vorpommern, are available from 99.00 Euros at tickets.airbeat-one.de.

The best place to donate blood is in the land of Dracula, in Transylvania, Romania. The festival-goers can donate blood to save lives, and they will receive a free pass or discounts for one of the biggest music festivals in the world, UNTOLD. Fans can also pay with blood their entrance at Neversea Festival, the largest beach festival in Europe in Constanța, Romania.

Blood Network, the longest-running donating blood campaign in Romania, initiated by the organizers of UNTOLD and Neversea, is once again waiting for the heroes to save lives and then enjoy unforgettable experiences at two of the biggest music festivals in the world. It is the 8th edition of The Blood Network campaign, and it will run from May 14 to July 3 in all the blood transfusion centers in Romania and a mobile caravan. The need for blood to save lives persists in hospitals across the country. There are needed 500,000 units of blood annually.

The idea of the Blood Network campaign is to encourage people to donate their blood. This way, donors can pay for their entrance to UNTOLD Festival or Neversea Festival with their blood. Each year more people are making this kind gesture, and now there are thousands of donors in the Blood Network and thousands of lives saved.

Those who donate blood in the mobile caravan have free access to UNTOLD Festival or Neversea Festival. They also receive shopping vouchers. 

The CSR campaign started in 2015 with UNTOLD Festival, and since then, each year, the organizers have added new cities for the mobile caravanand the Neversea Festival, which was born in 2017. Now are included 12 big cities in Romania. 

Fans who donate blood in the transfusion centers in Romania receive a discount voucher for tickets at UNTOLD Festival or Neversea Festival (up to 70 euros savings).

EDY CHEREJI, Director of Communication UNTOLD Festival & Neversea Festival: “We are continuing the longest-running blood donation campaign in Romania. Together with our traditional partners, doctors, and, last but not least, beautiful people who donate blood, we save lives! And because this year we are also enjoying a return to life, to festivals without restrictions, we are raising the campaign’s stakes. All those who donate blood in the mobile caravan will receive full passes to UNTOLD and Neversea this year and not only a one-day ticket. We thank all those who will make an effort to break their time to donate blood. A small effort, but with enormous importance!” 

ABOUT BLOOD NETWORK

In the last seven editions, over 18.000 people joined the Blood Network campaign. Only in 2021, the doctors raised over 1.200 liters of blood from almost 2.700 donors, and over 3.600 suffering people were saved.

Neversea Festival takes place on July 7-10, 2022, in the coastal city of Romania, Constanța. Alan Walker, Alesso, Azteck, B Jones, Black Eyed Peas, Brennan Heart, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Don Diablo, KSHMR, NERVO, Nicky Romero, Parov Stelar, Quintino, Steve Aoki, Tchami, Timmy Trumpet, Tujamo, Ummet Ozcan, W&W and ZHU are amongst the artists that will join the Island of Dreams for the 4th edition.

BigCityBeats WORLD CLUB DOME, one of Europe’s biggest electronic music festivals, completes its already-huge line-up this week for its long awaited return, turning the Deutsche Bank Park into the biggest club in the world from June 3-5.

Dutch house hero Nicky Romero joins fresh off the success of his festival-ready new single ‘Lose My Mind’ while Indian-American star KSHMR brings his diverse house sounds drawing on influences from everything from psy trance to Asian music to hip-hop.

These talented headliners join a world-beating line-up that features everyone from David Guetta to Honey Dijon, Deadmau5 to Sven Väth, Steve Aoki to Loco Dice, Angerfist to Infected Mushroom and so many other names across the electronic music spectrum, representing everything from house to hardstyle, techno, trance, progressive, psy trance and beyond. Drawing over 180,000 attendees over its three days and myriad arenas, it is one of the most popular and musically diverse dance music festivals in the world.

The event is back with a bang this year following its two-year hiatus, and returns with a mindblowing Sin City theme that will transform the Deutsche Bank Park in the heart of Frankfurt into a Vegas-style pleasure palace. Sports fields become helicopter landing pads, flying in the biggest DJs on the planet, a wedding cathedral will host epic ceremonies with tens of thousands of guests, and the world’s longest red carpet which will become a walk of fame for visitors and artists. With 25 different stages, including the techno-infused WCD Pool Sessions, and two all-star main stages with one impressive stage set in the middle of the stadium, the event will give fans a huge choice of world-class acts to enjoy.

WORLD CLUB DOME is the creation of BigCityBeats, the long-running German label, radio show, event and merch company that has been at the heart of the country’s dance scene for nearly two decades. Having grown from small beginnings to create one of the world’s biggest festivals, they have come a long way with a burning passion for music always at their heart. Bringing the sound of the metropolises to their visitors, BigCityBeats CEO and WORLD CLUB DOME founder Bernd Breiter continues to channel the idea of club music into the electronic music festival, adding genres such as hip-hop and pop to the event’s line-up. One thing is certain; the return of “the biggest club in the world” should not be missed!
