PAROOKAVILLE 2023 will take place from July 21st to July 23rd, 2023 at Airport Weeze (NRW, Germany).
Friday, July 21st, 2023, 2:00 PM - 4:00 AM
Saturday, July 22nd, 2023, 2:00 PM - 4:00 AM
Sunday, July 23rd, 2023, 2:00 PM - 1:00 AM
To enter PAROOKAVILLE you must be at least 18 years old. No exceptions due to safety reasons!
All headliners and the line-up so far can be found here and in the app.
There are two things you need for the check-in to the festival site/campsite:
Student IDs, health insurance cards, etc. will NOT BE ACCEPTED! Please hold your ticket (printed or e-ticket) and your ID card ready at the City Gate/Campsite check-in for inspection. Since PAROOKAVILLE visas (tickets) are personalized only people whose name written on the ticket ("Ticketinhaber:innen") matches the name on the ID document will be admitted. There is NO EXCEPTION! More information about personalization can be found in the Ticket Info.
Citizens of all campsites can commute between campsite, festival site and parking lot at any time. All other Citizens (hotel guests, day visitor, etc.) are only allowed to enter and leave the festival site once a day and will not be allowed to re-enter.
At all food and beverage counters as well as almost all attractions in PAROOKAVILLE payments are made with ING Tokens. ING Tokens are available at the ING Bank of PAROOKAVILLE and can be purchased by cash or debit and credit cards. ING Tokens can only be exchanged at the ING Banks of PAROOKAVILLE on the festival site or at the campsite (see map, which will be published right before the festival). Please keep in mind the opening hours for exchanges. An exchange/return after PAROOKAVILLE 2023 is NOT possible!
ATTENTION: To return ING Tokens you must present your PAROOKAVILLE ticket. So, make sure to have your e-ticket ready on your phone!
You can order Booze Bags as an add-on via the MyTicket portal. You can pick up the Booze Bags at the ING Banks of Parookaville on the festival grounds or at the campsite by presenting your ticket.
ATTENTION: An exchange / return of ING Tokens of the Booze Bags is not possible!
Neither drinks nor food are allowed to bring to the festival site. Free drinking water will be available at several locations, and a wide selection of food and drinks will be available at festival-friendly prices. The only drinking utensil you are allowed to bring to the city EMPTY is a foldable (plastic) drinking bottle with a capacity of up to 0.5 liters. Soon you will be able to buy one of these in our PAROOKAVILLE boutique!
Since the health of our Citizens is close to our hearts, you will get free drinking water at several places in PAROOKAVILLE. The locations will be announced in the City Map right before the festival.
Keep our City clean: bring back your cups and cans so we can make sure they are recycled in an environmentally friendly way.
How does it work?
You pay a ½ ING token deposit per cup/can when you order your first drink. With your next order, you exchange your empty cup/can for a filled one and you only pay for the drink. If you don't want another drink, you return your empty can/cup and get the deposit of a ½ ING token back.
You can only return a maximum of 10 empty cups/cans at the same time.
Powerbanks will be available at the festival site and the campsites. The powerbanks can only be purchased on site at the Townhall and at the Marketplace of the Base Camp. Once purchased, you can always exchange the powerbank as soon as it is empty. Endless Power - with green electricity.
On the festival site and the campsites there will be lockers in two different sizes to store valuables.
You can book the lockers as an add-on (as long as stocks last) in your personal MyTicket portal or on site (depending on availability).
There will be enough restroom areas (including barrier-free toilets) in our city. The restroom areas are well distributed, easily accessible for everyone, and will be cleaned several times a day. The use of all restrooms is free of charge.
During a festival, internet and network availability may be limited. However, all providers will be on site this year and will do their best to ensure optimal accessibility. For all VIP-Citizens there will be free wifi on the VIP decks.
For medical emergencies of all kinds, paramedics and rescue workers are on site around the clock. Escape routes and emergency exits for the rescue service must be always kept free. If you need medication please make sure to bring it in the original packaging along with a doctor's certificate. Necessary cooling facilities for medication are available at the Johanniter on site.
We are doing our best to make sure that we all have the weekend of our lives together at PAROOKAVILLE. Too much alcohol or illegal drugs can bring the party to an end faster than we want it to. Therefore, you should take care of yourself and your friends already at the check-in. Furthermore, we follow a zero-tolerance policy! Whoever is caught with illegal drugs, e.g. during the checks at the city gates or the controls at the festival, will be handed over to the police immediately and will not be allowed to enter the festival.
Spending the night at the parking lot (also in the cars!) is strictly forbidden!
ATTENTION: All vehicles that are still on the parking lot "Tagesbesucher" after the closing of the festival site on monday morning (July 24th) will be towed at charge. The parking lot "Campsite" must be cleared by monday evening no later than 06:00 PM.
The official Lost & Found office is located in the Townhall. Here you can pick up missing items and hand in found items. After the festival all lost and found items will be handed over to the lost & found office of the community of Weeze.
It is very important to us that all Citizens feel comfortable and safe at our festival. Therefore, we want to make you aware of the following:
We want you to enjoy music for a long time to come - so take care of your ears! That's why we provide all Citizens in PAROOKAVILLE with free earplugs which are available in the Townhall.
Unfortunately, we cannot control the weather conditions. Therefore, look at weather forecasts and bring appropriate clothing!
Especially in summer, the intensity of the sun can be very high and lead to a sunburn/sunstroke. Our advice: Dress appropriately and protect yourself with sunscreen and a head covering. Also, heat and lots of movement really stresses your body, so you should drink enough water and keep a balanced diet.
If we are expecting a rainy festival weekend, a rain poncho and gumboots should be part of your festival luggage.
If there is a storm or thunderstorm, please keep the following in mind:
Security checks (including body and bag searches) will be done by our security staff at the entrance. Please make sure to take only what is necessary and open your bags for a quick check. The following items are prohibited on the festival site and will be collected and disposed of by security:
Collected items (e.g., glass bottles) will not be stored at the entrance and cannot be collected later.
Everyone is welcome to visit our festival. That's why we make every effort to ensure that Citizens with a disability can also enjoy an unforgettable and unique festival experience. Citizens with a disabled person's pass (note "B") can request a ticket for an additional person free of charge.
To do so, please follow these steps:
ATTENTION: This rule is only valid for the following ticket categories:
Accessible restrooms are in each hygiene area on the festival site. To avoid that the barrier-free toilets are used by all Citizens, they will be locked. The sanitary staff will open the doors for you. Just ask them to do so.
Accessible restrooms and showers can be found in selected hygiene areas (see the map that will be published right before the festival) on the campsite. Since these are also locked, just ask the sanitary staff.
Of course, Citizens can bring their medicines to the festival. A doctor's certificate of necessity will ensure that you can bring them to the festival site. Necessary refrigeration facilities for medicines are available at the Johanniter stations on site.
Electric wheelchairs can also be charged at the Johanniter stations free of charge.
NOTE: We are doing our best to make the festival experience as comfortable as possible for all Citizens. However, please note that conditions in parts of the festival and camping site may vary depending on the weather as not all areas are asphalted.

In previous years some categories like Regular Saturday Visa, Comfort Camp or various VIP Visas have already been completely sold after only a few hours. The relevant ticket category will be marked as "not available" as in rare cases it might happen that reserved tickets of partners and sponsors get canceled in small quantities and are therefore available again for a short time.

The Marketplace as well as several chill out areas on the campsites offer plenty of opportunities to sit and relax.
Powerbanks will be available at the festival site and the campsites. The powerbanks can only be purchased on site at the Townhall and at the Marketplace of the Base Camp. Once purchased you can always exchange the powerbank as soon as it is empty. Endless Power - with green electricity.
On the festival site and the campsites there will be lockers in two different sizes to store valuables.
You can rent the lockers as an add-on (as long as stocks last) or on site depending on availability.
A festival thrives from music. Of course you are allowed to play and listen to your own music on the campsite. However, please note that no aggregates or car batteries are allowed. Smaller Bluetooth boxes will be tolerated if they are powered by their original batteries. No homemade additional batteries, etc. are allowed. Also, please be respectful of all Campsite Citizens. The PENNY DJ Tower will provide Base Camp with live DJ sets and music for 5 days.
A tent offers hardly any protection against theft. So, bring only what you absolutely need - less is more! Always carry your valuables with you (again, be careful!) or leave them in one of our official lockers.
Lost & found items can be dropped off or picked up at any time at our Lost & Found Offices at the info points on the campsites and at the official Lost & Found Office in the Townhall on the festival site. After the festival all lost and found items will be handed over to the community of Weeze.
Clear rule: Glass bottles and glass containers are prohibited due to the risk of injury! There will be strict controls at the check-in. Drinks and food can be brought in tetrapaks, PET bottles or cans. All drinks are also available in our PENNY stores on the campsites. Cosmetics (e.g., perfume, deodorant, make-up) in glass containers are also prohibited and will be collected and disposed of by our security teams.

ATTENTION: There will be long waiting times from morning to midday.
Recommendation: Come around afternoon! Check-in is possible until 01:00 at night without any problems.
All citizens coming to the Base Camp by car need to book the parking ticket "Parking: Campsite Full Weekend".
The Base Camp has enough space for all campers. Nevertheless, the capacities are limited and we ask everyone to use only as much space as necessary, especially if pavilions are brought along (see "Pavilions" for regulations). Help each other! In order to set up the tents as space-saving as possible the following is a guideline: At least 2 people should sleep in a 2–3-person tent. Large tents for more than 8 people are not allowed. Our security staff will check the tent sizes at check-in to the campsite. To ensure the most space-efficient setup possible individual campsite plots will be opened one at a time by security personnel. Since campsite filling is dynamic it is not possible to plan how quickly and in which direction campsites will be filled. The instructions of our security staff must be followed at all times!
You can't find a spot for your tent? No problem: Next to check-in there will be an information desk you can go to. It will be open on Thursday from 12:00 PM - 11:00 PM and on Friday from 8:00 AM -10:00 PM.
Of course you can bring your own tents, sleeping bags, sleeping mats etc. Alternatively, you can buy tents and equipment at the PENNY store on the campsite for a small price.
Standard pavilions (3×3 meters) are allowed for groups of 5 people or more. Our security staff will pay attention to this - both at check-in and during set-up. The instructions of our security staff must be followed at all times!
FestiTent's Easy Camp is a separate area near the popular PENNY store at Base Camp. Here a ready-built rental tent for two or four people is waiting for the Citizens to arrive. The upgrade can only be booked as an add-on with a valid Full Weekend Visa + Base Camp via the MyTicket portal. Bedding, sleeping bags and pillows are not included. If your rental tent or equipment shows any damage after use, you will have to pay the damage on site to the service provider "FestiTent BV".
More information about FestiTent's Easy Camp can be found here.
To wash the dance sweat off your body, there will be the well-known festival washing troughs and numerous shower containers (including barrier-free showers at selected locations) at the campsites. You can use the washing troughs (with drinking water) free of charge at any time. The shower cabins with hot water cost 1 ING Token per visit. Also this year we offer the happy hour showers from 05:30 to 08:00 for half price (0,5 ING Token).
There will be enough restroom areas (including accessible restrooms at selected locations) at our campsites. All toilet areas are located in such a way that you can always reach them within a few minutes’ walk. All toilets are free of charge and will be cleaned several times a day. If you still need fresh toilet paper or if a toilet is dirty, please inform the cleaning team on site.
PAROOKAVILLE is always a bit of an adventure. Therefor, electricity is only available in the shower areas for blow-drying or shaving. You can charge your smartphone at the charging stations using powerbanks. You have to bring your own charging cable.
Alternatively, you can enjoy real luxury: Base Campers can rent a power station which will then supply you directly with electricity in your camp and can be replaced with a new one at any time as soon as it is empty. The rental power station can be booked as an add-on.
ATTENTION: Power generators of any kind (e.g. aggregates) as well as car batteries are not allowed on the campsites! Our security staff will also pay attention to this at check-in. If you want to listen to music with your own speaker, please follow the rules mentioned at "Music".
The use of disposable/tripod grills and gas camping stoves is permitted in front of the tent but must be supervised by you at all times. The use of grills and gas stoves inside the tent is strictly prohibited due to the risk of suffocation! DANGER OF LIFE!
Care must be taken that the use of alcohol, gasoline or other flammable liquids is strictly prohibited. Only commercially available charcoal lighters may be used in accordance with the instructions for use. The grill must never burn or burn out unattended. Charcoal may not be dumped on the lawn to burn out or disposed of in trash containers. There will be special barbecue charcoal bins where the charcoal must be disposed of. If, for example, there is a thunderstorm, we will inform you and may have to prohibit barbecuing. In case of fire, the security staff must be informed immediately.
Gas camping stoves may only be used with gas cartridges (piercing and valve cartridges, such as the blue cartridges of the Campinggaz brand) up to a maximum filling weight of 450 grams. Camping stoves with liquid fuel are not permitted. Furthermore, the use of open fire as well as the lighting of a campfire or open fire is strictly prohibited! Bringing pyrotechnics is also prohibited. Our security team will also pay attention to this at the check-in.
Let's go for the clean side: Help us to keep the PAROOKAVILLE campsites clean and to leave them clean, because without you the best garbage concept is useless. Reuse your tents and pavilions, take back your working pools, throw trash in the trash cans and containers.

Generally, there is no guarantee of neighboring pitches. If you want two or more groups to stand next to each other, we recommend arriving early and together and expressing your wish at the check-in. But this is not a guarantee either.
Leaving the caravan site with a vehicle is not possible during the festival. If you want to stay flexible you can park your car at the Caravan Empire parking lot. There you can use the shuttle service. However, you will have to buy the parking ticket "Parking: Caravan Empire Full Weekend" in addition to the caravan parking space.

If Citizens are granted the right to park their vehicle on the caravan sites, they do so at their own risk. The organizer is not liable for damage or theft unless he is guilty of intent or gross negligence.
Comfort and Deluxe Camp are the perfect campsites for those who don't want the inconvenience of lugging and setting up but want to check into high quality, move-in ready accommodations right when they arrive.
