The Zeppelin departs from Hangelar airfield. It carries guests over the city with a view of the Cologne skyline and cathedral. Then it returns to Hangelar. Crucially, the number of guests on board is heavily limited by the capacity of the airship. Meanwhile, only 2×2 seats will be raffled via competition, with the exact departure time communicated to winners in good time.
Live DJ sets on board airships remain a very young format internationally. In 2025, the band Foster The People performed in the Goodyear Blimp at the Lollapalooza Festival. Furthermore, a DJ appearance followed in June 2026 to mark the 101st anniversary of the Goodyear airship. However, both events took place in the USA and used a blimp, not a classic Zeppelin. Therefore, ‘Alle Farben on a Zeppelin’ stands as Germany’s first Zeppelin DJ premiere.
The competition goes live from Sunday, 23 August, 6 pm, on the Instagram channels of all four partners. In turn, 2×2 seats for the flight on 17 September will be raffled. The closing date is Sunday, 13 September 2026, 11:59 pm. Participation is open to persons aged 18 and over resident in Germany. The full terms and conditions published on the organisers’ channels apply.
Bootshaus continues to build on landmark 2026 moments. Notably, WRY previously covered the free Bootshaus rave organised in 24 hours after the Defqon.1 cancellation. The venue has also just been named Germany’s best club and 11th worldwide in the DJ Mag Top 100 Clubs Ranking 2026. Meanwhile, Alle Farben remains one of Germany’s most recognisable house exports, known for tracks including ‘She Moves (Far Away)’. Fellow German dance flagship Rave The Planet also recently drew 400,000 people to Berlin.
