Wonderful Days - The Classic Rave Festival Vol. IX

On May 30, 2026, Wonderful Days – The Classic Rave Festival Vol. IX brings the early techno and rave years to the Bootshaus in Cologne. At the center is Westbam, the German DJ and producer who has set his own standards between techno, rave and electro since the late Eighties. Both as a solo artist and with Members of Mayday he helped shape the anthems and codes of an entire era. Typical for him are precise mixing, distinctive hooks and a dramaturgical build that heads straight for the dancefloor.

For Wonderful Days, Westbam looks back in order to move forward: rave and dance classics from the ’90s and 2000s meet fresh edits and tightly wound tension arcs. His set blends driving techno, early trance melodies and a touch of electro into a flow that makes the energy of that time audible without lingering in nostalgia. Those who were there will find immediate points of connection; everyone else will get a concentrated tour through the foundations of electronic club music. Cologne, Bootshaus, May 30, 2026: an evening dedicated to Westbam and the sounds that shaped generations.
