Neustadt-Glewe, Deutschland - The electrom music festival "Airbeat One" opened its gates on July 10, 2025 in Neustadt-Glewe in Mecklenburg and attracts high with the motto "Viva España". An estimated 60,000 music enthusiasts flocked to the opening of the main stage, which is equipped with breathtaking designs that are reminiscent of the Sagrada Família in Barcelona. The opening ceremony was celebrated by the Slovak DJ Luisdemark, followed by heavyweights such as Afrojack and Steve Aoki, who even came together for a common appearance.

The arrival of the festival goers has so far been without greater traffic jams, which only increased the anticipation of the guests for the next few days. At the Mallorca site of the festival, party strikers are celebrated for an hour every day, while around 250 artists, including Armin van Buuren, Boris Brejcha and Amelie Lens, are playing the Main Stage until Sunday. Organizers expect around 200,000 visitors who will take part in all festival days.

warning of dangerous drugs

Despite the exuberant mood, there are also cloudy clouds in the festival sky. Minister of Health Stefanie Drese urgently warned of high-dosed ecstasy pills of the “Blue Punisher” type, which could circulate at the festival. According to reports from NDR have already been found in the festival area. Laboratory tests have confirmed that it is the dangerous variety.

The incidents arouse worrying memories. A 13-year-old girl died two years ago after the consumption of "Blue Punisher". The organizers have therefore exercised great caution and urged their social media channels against taking these drugs. The police will carry out sample controls by the festival goers, but so far no confirmed medical emergencies have been reported in connection with the tablets.

risks from contaminated drugs

The topic of drug use at festivals is a recurring problem. According to information from aok , toxic contamination of party drugs can be extended if these are stretched out with other substances. Buyers on the black market can never be sure what exactly they consume. A small mistake can have fatal consequences, because half a pill can lead to an overdose. In addition, additional, more dangerous active ingredients can be detected in Ecstasy pills, which leads to unexpected side effects.

In any case, it is to be hoped that the joy and music will remain in the foreground and “Airbeat One” will be an unforgettable experience for all visitors.
