These Were the 20 Most Played Songs at Parookaville 2022
Over the weekend of July 22-24, roughly 225,000 dance fans congregated in Weeze, Germany — located near the Dutch border — for Parookaville. Taking place on a former military base since 2015, the festival is a premier event for EDM, trance, tech house, hardstyle and more, with the 2022 lineup featuring biggies like Afrojack, NERVO, Amelie Lens, Dom Dolla, Purple Disco Machine and Laidback Luke.
While the genres were diverse, 20 songs rose above the mix to become the most played of the weekend. This list includes a flurry of current hits by Drake, Acraze and Fisher, along with a grip of classics by David Guetta and Sia, Gala, J Balvin & Willy William and the Eurythmics, whose 1983 classic “Sweet Dreams” is riding high as one of the top dance festival songs of the summer.
