Nearly 200,000 visitors celebrated 10 years of BigCityBeats WORLD CLUB DOME. The upcoming Winter Edition of WORLD CLUB DOME will take place on January 4th and 5th, 2024 in the Festhalle Frankfurt, while WORLD CLUB DOME Summer will return on September 6th, 7th, and 8th, 2024.
Almost 200,000 visitors from 86 countries, 250 music acts and DJs on 25 stages, 100 personas from TV, science and entertainment, and 600 social media stars with over 500 million followers combined joined the 10th anniversary of BigCityBeats WORLD CLUB DOME from June 9th – 11th, a festival of superlatives that opened the European summer festival season in spectacular fashion.
After being crowned Germany’s #1 festival by DJ Mag earlier this year, BigCityBeats CEO and WORLD CLUB DOME founder Bernd Breiter re-established their position for the coming year with the sold-out Atlantis Edition.
“When we started WORLD CLUB DOME 10 years ago, I would have never dreamed we’d be here. I was overjoyed when I saw so many people with happy faces enjoying the bright sunshine. Our biggest focus was to bring the variety of club music under one roof in one festival area and to unite generations. We succeeded perfectly with this during our anniversary edition. I would like to thank all partners, supporters, acts and DJs, my team and of course all visitors very much for this,” says a visibly emotional Bernd Breiter (BigCityBeats CEO and WORLD CLUB DOME founder).
Superstars from all over the world congratulated BigCityBeats WORLD CLUB DOME on their incredible feat. Steve Aoki, who has performed at every edition in Frankfurt so far, flew in by helicopter before playing an amazing set and praising the festival on the Friday: “It’s all about the experience. The most important thing is: How do you enhance the experience of the people coming to the show. Bernd is always sending me these crazy ideas – cause I’ll actually do them. It’s all about exciting the visitors”. The Atlantis Edition succeeded in doing just that once again.
Boris Brejcha closed The WCD Pool Session Stage on the Friday, transporting his high-tech minimal fans to Ibiza as the sun set over the Deutsche Bank Park. Meanwhile celebrations continued inside the stadium as Timmy Trumpet celebrated BigCityBeats WORLD CLUB DOME’s anniversary as well as his own birthday, pushing World Clubbers to ecstasy while trowing a birthday cake together with Steve Aoki.
On Saturday, the WCD Pool Sessions area continued in full force, featuring the WORLD CLUB DOME premiere of Lilly Palmer, an enticing Stella Bossi set, and a gripping closing set by Reinier Zonneveld at the Pyramid Stage, and a Jamie Jones’ Paradise takeover on the Pool Mainstage. Lost Frequencies, Felix Jaehn, and James Hype graced the Outdoor Mainstage, while Robin Schulz delighted fans at the Mainstage after walking the infamous Walk of Fame and signing his own DJ Column with Bernd Breiter, surrounded by thousands of fans. US Superstar Marshmello closed out the Mainstage on Saturday, treating World Clubbers on his only European festival appearance in 2023.
The final day of BigCityBeats WORLD CLUB DOME: Atlantis Edition saw thousands of fans from all over enjoy the sun at the Outdoor Mainstage as German rap stars Miksu/MacLoud, Haftbefehl, Capo, Vega, Jamule, Veysel and Farid Bang gave stellar performances before Germany legend Scooter closed stage with an insane show. Claptone’s Masquerade imprint hosted the Frankfurt Berg Stage, alongside stars like Hannah Wants, Andhim, and WADE, while Marcel Dettman, Kölsch and Peggy Gou b2b Ryan Elliot dominated the action on the WCD Pool Sessions Mainstage.
Following an energetic set by Swedish House Mafia member Sebastian Ingrosso, David Guetta, one of the greatest DJ of all time, closed the 10th anniversary of BigCityBeats WORLD CLUB DOME in a completely packed stadium. A euphoric David Guetta also congratulated WORLD CLUB DOME on their anniversary: “I had an amazing time, I had a really really good time. I am always a little bit emotional about this. 10 years performing together, that’s a lot, and I love this. I try to be loyal to the team because they always put so much trust in me. Today was really crazy. So, Happy anniversary WORLD CLUB DOME. Thank you for having me and I hope to be here for the coming 10 more years.”
Congratulations from the city of Frankfurt
“10 years of WORLD CLUB DOME that’s over 10 million visitors and 7,000 DJs. All this is only possible because we have Bernd Breiter, a true Frankfurter who loves his city and his unusual events. A heartfelt thank you to Bernd and the entire WORLD CLUB DOME team for your commitment and for immortalizing WORLD CLUB DOME here in Frankfurt for 10 years,” says Frankfurt City Councilor Stefanie Wüst.
BigCityBeats WORLD CLUB DOME will return to Germany for their Winter Edition, set to take place on January 4th and 5th, 2024 in the Festhalle Frankfurt.
Wide-reaching side events
The Atlantis Edition had more than just music to offer, as the BigCityBeats GLAM influencer fair saw 600 social media stars with a reach of over 500 million fans such as Knossi, Heiko Lochmann, and many more celebrate. At Reality Star Island, the biggest Reality Stars gathering ever took place, with over 100 celebrities and reality stars like Giulia Siegel, Loona, Matthias Mangiapane, and Nico Schwanz partied at the pool area of the WCD Pool Session, accompanied by TV and Yellow Press.

SRC – Smart Rebel Convergence
But there was also a look ahead to next year. The Future Edition of the WORLD CLUB DOME will take place from September 6th to 8th, 2024, due to the European Football Championship.
