About this festival
On 4 December 2026, HanseMesse Rostock will host one of northern Germany’s most uncompromising hard techno events. Arena Rave brings together nine artists across several stages, turning the exhibition hall into an all-night rave zone. From 7:30pm until 5am, acts including Fantasm, Kobosil and Klofama will keep the crowd moving with hard-hitting beats.
Following successful editions in Schwerin and Rostock, the event returns to the Hanseatic city in 2026. The Arena Rave series has established itself in Germany’s hard techno scene and attracts audiences from across the region. Alongside the headline acts, the confirmed Rostock line-up includes Kuko, Kyanu, Negitiv, Nicolas Julian, Nikolina and Onlynumbers.
The organiser offers coach transfers from several northern German cities, including Berlin, Hamburg and Bremen. Tickets are available via the official Arena Rave website. Entry is permitted from age 18; those aged 16 or over but under 18 may attend only with an accompanying person and a Muttizettel.
