Wonderful Days The Classic Rave Festival Vol X (Cologne, Germany) 2026

Wonderful Days reaches volume ten at the Bootshaus in Cologne on 14 November 2026, the classic rave festival returning to the venue that has hosted it through most of its run. Doors are at 10pm and the night goes through to the following morning.

Nine editions have sold out completely, which tells you what the formula is worth. The programme is built on classics: the tracks, the sounds and the energy of 1990s and early 2000s rave, played by the people who made them rather than reinterpreted. The organisers publish an official aftermovie for each volume, with films going back to the first.

The Bootshaus is the obvious home for it. Regularly ranked among the best clubs in the world, the converted boathouse on the Rhine in Cologne’s Mulheim district has the sound and the sightlines a night like this needs. Tickets are sold through the venue’s ticket.io shop. Cologne is a straightforward trip from the Netherlands and Belgium as well as from across Germany, with Cologne Bonn airport 20 minutes from the centre and the Hauptbahnhof on the high speed line. For a German classic rave music festival night, nothing else has this track record.
