Music on, world off
PAROOKAVILLE Stages
Mainstage 2024
Green house
Where music and nature meet and creative ideas blossom.
The Greenhouse in PAROOKAVILLE, designed by founder Bill Parooka, combines music and nature in an impressive way. The stage features a huge glass dome in the center, surrounded by lush plants and waterfalls. Artists perform amidst this vibrant backdrop while butterflies and birds fly through the air.
The combination of natural beauty and musical performances creates a unique, inspiring atmosphere in which creative ideas thrive alongside plants.
Bill's Factory
Bill's Factory is the home of founding father Bill Parooka. After traveling back in time to our world, he built the factory in the young PAROOKAVILLE and transformed his original Victorian mansion into a distinctive factory by adding industrial elements such as chimneys and gears. This place, which continues to inspire Bill to new creative visions, still stands today as a symbol of inexhaustible creative power in the heart of PAROOKAVILLE. Here, his citizens can soak up the spirit of the city and develop freely to the music.
Bill has announced extensive new buildings and expansions for 2025 to take his inventions and research to a new level. We can't wait to see what fantastic ideas he has in store for the new Bill's Factory.
Cloud Factory
The Cloud Factory transforms an old hangar into a captivating stage where opposites seem to come together. While the steel structure impresses with its massive industrial charm, the interior enchants with light-footed floating clouds that glow to the beat of the music. Inspired by Bill Parooka's fascination with clouds that move freely and change at will, the spacious Cloud Factory creates a magical atmosphere that inspires the imagination and transports you to new dimensions.
Power Plant
The Power Plant - PAROOKAVILLE's power station - is located in the Upper West Side district. Gigantic Tesla coils are not only used to generate electricity here, but also to quench the citizens' constant thirst for powerful beats: electrifying sounds are combined here with blatant power beats that recharge the batteries of every citizen. In this dynamic atmosphere, the spark is immediately ignited - a place where pure energy can unfold freely.
Time Lab
The Time Lab is a masterpiece of technology, because here, thanks to the secret recordings of founding father Bill Parooka, the journey through time becomes a reality: those who dare to jump back in time can experience legendary DJ heroes of past decades live or discover pioneering musical experiments and soundscapes. But an activated time tunnel also offers a spectacular visual experience that you don't get to see every day.
Desert Valley Stage
The desert is calling - and you're invited! The Desert Valley Stage awaits you in a breathtaking outdoor sandpit reminiscent of a mysterious salt desert. Here, amidst a unique backdrop of rugged nature and artistic installations, you can immerse yourself in a world full of magic: experience spectacular sunsets and let the chilled beats put you in a vacation mood. On Thursdays, the Desert Valley Stage, the “first” stage on the festival site, delivers unforgettable sounds and sets the perfect starting signal for your festival experience!
Brainwash
Welcome to the washrooms of PAROOKAVILLE - a small stage in a bunker. Designed in the style of an oversized washing machine, it is not mountains of laundry that are washed here, but the minds of the citizens. A creative brainwash for anyone who wants to free themselves from constricting conventions and negative thoughts. With confetti, foam cannons and an exuberant atmosphere, this is action at eye level. An interactive experience where everyone is invited to join in and party.
Theatre
In the heart of the Theatre District, the stage of the PAROOKAVILLE Theater opens up behind velvet red curtains. A glamorous world full of comedy, acrobatics and dazzling shows. Whether for hearty laughs or a little detour into the seedy nightlife - the Theatre Stage is the perfect place to find a change from the loud festival beat and immerse yourself in a multi-faceted show experience.
