MAYDAY (Germany's biggest indoor rave) returns to Dortmund's Westfalenhallen on the 30th of April, 2026, presenting itself under the theme "ICONIC" — as an evolution of a format that has been established in the electronic music scene for more than three decades. This year, the organizers lean into a concept that balances tradition with contemporary club culture: more than 30 acts will be spread across four thematically curated floors, each offering a distinct take on the spectrum of modern electronic music. For the first time, the event will run for a full twelve hours — a structural shift that responds to audience demand and allows for longer, more immersive narrative arcs.
