About TOXICATOR
Toxicator returns to the Maimarkthalle in Mannheim on 5 December 2026, running from 8pm to 6am across three floors. The 2026 edition carries the line that the toxic fire returns, and the organisers are clear about what that means: ten hours, no compromises, hardcore, hardstyle and hardtechno.
Dr. Peacock plays a live set under the title Tripping With Dr. Peacock, which is the kind of specially built show the event is known for. AniMe produced the 2025 anthem, Toxic In My Brain, and the festival publishes a full official aftermovie and anthem for each edition going back more than a decade.
The Maimarkthalle is Mannheim’s main exhibition hall, large enough to hold three distinct floors under one roof, which is what makes the format possible. Tickets are sold through the festival’s own site. Mannheim sits on the high speed line between Frankfurt and Stuttgart, 35 minutes from Frankfurt and 40 from Stuttgart, with Frankfurt Airport the obvious arrival point. For a German harder styles music festival indoors, Toxicator is one of the biggest nights of the year.
