German house powerhouse Marten Hørger returns with his explosive new single, “Rave,” out now via Kontor Records. Serving as the official anthem for Parookaville 2026, the track is purpose-built for massive festival moments, delivering an infectious blend of house and tech-house driven by pounding rhythms, relentless grooves, and peak-time energy.
Designed with the main stage in mind, “Rave” captures the euphoric atmosphere that has become synonymous with one of Germany’s biggest electronic music festivals. Its high-impact production and driving momentum make it an ideal soundtrack for the thousands of fans set to descend on Weeze Airport when Parookaville returns from July 17–19, 2026.
The release continues a prolific period for Marten Hørger, who has spent the past several months balancing acclaimed solo releases with major collaborations. Recent highlights include “Arizona” alongside Robin Schulz and Men Machine, his collaborative project with David Guetta, further showcasing the producer’s versatility and growing influence across the global dance music scene.
“Rave” also strengthens Hørger’s longstanding relationship with Parookaville, a festival that has become a recurring highlight of his touring schedule. This year’s edition will feature performances from some of electronic music’s biggest names, including Armin van Buuren, Charlotte de Witte, FISHER, The Chainsmokers, Steve Aoki, Boys Noize, and Pendulum, placing Hørger among an elite lineup of international talent.
Adding another unique dimension to the festival weekend, Parookaville will coincide with the FIFA World Cup for the first time in its history. Fans will be able to follow the tournament throughout the event thanks to large viewing screens positioned across the festival grounds, allowing attendees to experience both world-class electronic music and international football without missing a moment.
Speaking about being selected to create this year’s anthem, Marten Hørger said:
“Parookaville Festival has become a second home to me over the years. I’m incredibly proud and excited to deliver this year’s official anthem.”
Over the past decade, Marten Hørger has established himself as one of house music’s most distinctive voices by blending elements of classic house, techno, and bass music into a sound uniquely his own. His innovative approach earned praise from DJ Mag, which famously described his music as “The Future,” while collaborations with artists including David Guetta, Dillon Francis, Tchami, Apashe, Habstrakt, and Sonny Fodera have further elevated his international profile.
His commercial success has matched his critical acclaim. Hørger has surpassed 150 million streams on Spotify, consistently ranks among the Top 50 most influential electronic artists on 1001Tracklists, and was recognized by Beatport as the most successful Bass House artist of all time in 2022. In his home country, readers of FAZE Magazine voted him National Breakthrough Act of the Year in 2023, further cementing his status as one of Germany’s leading electronic music exports.
On the live front, Hørger continues to headline sold-out tours across North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia, while becoming a familiar face on the main stages of premier festivals including Tomorrowland, EDC, Glastonbury, Burning Man, Shambhala, and Fusion. His continued rise was also recognized with a place at No. 88 in the DJ Mag Top 100 DJs poll.
With “Rave,” Marten Hørger delivers a festival anthem worthy of one of electronic music’s biggest celebrations. Combining his signature high-energy production with the spirit of Parookaville, the track is poised to become one of the defining soundtracks of the 2026 festival season.
