NATURE ONE

NATURE ONE still sits on the former United States missile base, the Raketenbasis Pydna, by Kastellaun, in the Hunsrück. The site calls it Germany's first major open-air rave and places it since 1995. The same page speaks of thirty years of rave history. The two counts stay side by side. I-Motion GmbH Events & Communication carries it, a wholly owned subsidiary of DEAG. Oliver Vordemvenne is the managing director. The last weekend already lived is 30 July to 2 August 2026, under the motto rave.now.together. The homepage names a later summer. Those digits are not printed here.

Wochenspiegel of 1 August closes the Friday. On the OpenAirFloor, Paul Kalkbrenner, Paul van Dyk, Neelix, Bennett and Rewi played. In the Century Circus: Sven Väth, Felix Kröcher, Schrotthagen, Klaudia Gawlas, Fantasm and A.N.I. In the SYNDICATE zone, Angerfist. In the Classic Terminal, Schiller and Westbam. There is no title from that night. The anthem released before the weekend is Die Welt steht still, by Neelix, and the note says it is his second soundtrack for this rave. He says some things can be lived only once, at the right time, in the right place and with the right people, and that afterwards they do not return. That is the announced record, not a song heard on the floor.

Camping opens on Wednesday 29 July at 10 am, on about 100 hectares. Lokalo compares them to about 150 football pitches and counts more than 70 CampFloors that the people themselves build. Another note speaks of about 100 camp floors. The two figures stay side by side. The camping opening party is Thursday from 6 pm. There are flush toilets and separated showers, with a shower and toilet pass. A free bus links the site with Kastellaun. Another leaves Koblenz station from Thursday to Sunday. Wochenspiegel says that on Wednesday and Thursday there were already parties on those floors, and that the first music day on the Pydna was Friday.

dpa, in ZEIT on 2 August, takes the organizers' figure: about 55,000 people until Sunday morning. Before the weekend the talk was of 60,000 and also of 65,000. The three stay side by side. The same organizers call Fatboy Slim, Paul Kalkbrenner, Paul van Dyk and Sven Väth the highlights. That is their list, not a walked tune. They say that after three years of rain and cold nights, festival weather came back. The police speak of a quiet operation and a peaceful mood, also toward the officers. The departure checks did not yet have a result. The DRK put about 650 people on site, from Rhineland-Palatinate, Hesse, Saarland, Baden-Württemberg and North Rhine-Westphalia. They treated about 1,450 patients: minor injuries, circulation trouble and the occasional fracture. One person, with a severe burn, left by helicopter for a specialist clinic. The state premier Gordon Schnieder and the interior minister Achim Schwickert were there, both CDU, and the economy minister Michael Ebling, of the SPD.

Faze Mag reports that, after noise complaints in 2025, the authorities asked for a concept from a certified office. That demand did not exist the year before. I-Motion said it would hand it in during calendar week 29. The same note speaks of four floors and of 15 clubs. Other counts say 20 floors. They stay side by side. On Saturday afternoon, Wochenspiegel still writes ahead: Fatboy Slim, Lilly Palmer, Holy Priest, Felix Jaehn, I Hate Models, Alle Farben, Alignment, Gestört aber GeiL, Miss K8, Ueberrest and Yanamaste. That list is the program of that moment. Sunday's dpa puts Fatboy Slim among the highlights the organizers give. The police spokesperson adds that if everyone gets home well, they too are satisfied. The dpa photo is by Thomas Frey. The Wochenspiegel photo carries the credit of I-Motion. The ticket partner is myticket, and camping tickets are sold online only. Faze Mag says the noise measures were drawn up with the people affected, with the authority that grants the permit and with the town staff. Wochenspiegel announces that ARTE and sunshine live accompany the two nights and broadcast them. That is the notice of that afternoon, not a listen to the broadcast itself.

The weekend, as it stands, is still that base: the tent beside the car, the bunker and the Hunsrück sky. A spokesperson says they do not move the meeting into autumn, because the nights would be colder and the technical plan would suffer. They stay on the first weekend of August. The year the homepage puts later is not printed.
