One of Germany's Largest Electronic Festivals
Since 2002, Airbeat One in Neustadt-Glewe has grown from a Mecklenburg open-air initiative into one of the largest electronic music festivals in Germany. For several days, over 200 international DJs and live acts perform on nine stages across the vast grounds of Neustadt-Glewe Airfield. The festival is known for its elaborate stage architecture, monumental main stage constructions with thematic staging, and nightly laser shows of continental scale.
Nine Stages for Every Style of Electronic Music
The festival features nine stages covering the entire spectrum of electronic music: the Mainstage with its grand EDM, Trance, and Big Room program, the Arena Stage for Techno, the Harder Stage for Hardstyle and Hardcore, The Face for Tech-House and Melodic House, the Groove Castle, the Second Stage / Indian Spirit for Psytrance, the Terminal Stage, the Butterfly Stage, and The Cube. The Mainstage alone attracts the biggest names in the EDM world to tens of thousands of visitors annually.
Annually Changing Country Theme
A special feature of Airbeat One is its annually changing theme, dedicated to a specific country or region. Entire stage decorations, main stage constructions, and festival grounds are adapted to the theme — with thousands of square meters of scenery, custom-designed decorative elements, and a cohesive thematic world. These productions are a hallmark of the festival, making each edition a visually distinct experience.
Camping, Living, Celebrating
Airbeat One is a camping festival in its purest form. Several camping areas — from Main Camping and Nord Camping to the comfortable Special Camping Lodge and VIP Camping — are spread around the festival grounds. Additionally, there are food courts, pools, chill areas, art installations, and a dedicated festival app with timetable and map.
Mecklenburg's Biggest Musical Magnet
With over 200,000 visitors, Airbeat One is by far the largest music festival in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and one of the region's most important tourist economic drivers. Neustadt-Glewe — usually a quiet small town in the Ludwigslust-Parchim district — becomes the center of the European EDM scene for several days in July. Its location between the metropolises of Berlin and Hamburg and direct access to the A 24 motorway make the festival easily accessible from across the country.
