Blurring the lines between a festival and a three-day clubbing session, World Club Dome brings the surprise element.

Dubbed the world’s biggest club, World Club Dome lives up to its name. It spans a jaw-dropping 700,000 square meters and offers party-goers 25 different stages.

Here’s everything you need to know about World Club Dome.

Each stage at World Club Dome has its own vibe

With 25 stages, there is always something to do at World Club Dome. The festival knows that every attendee is different – and taps into that gold mine. Every stage features a unique design and music genre, giving festival-goers plenty of choices.

The main stage hosts around 50,000 people, with over 180,000 people in total.

For those who find this number slightly daunting, smaller club formats host just a few hundred guests.

Some of the biggest industry names perform at World Club Dome

Despite hosting various music genres, the festival is anything but shy in brainstorming some enviable line-ups. Far from acting like a jack of trades and master of none, World Club Dome has every A-list singer on speed dial.

From EDM heroes like Robin Schulz and DJ Snake to artists who shun the mainstream wave, such as Stella Bossi, World Club Dome does a little bit of everything.

That’s not to say that electronic music is the predominant music genre – on the contrary. Striking a balance between sounds, World Club Dome brings in artists like Timbaland to add some spice to the recipe.

Pool Sessions add a dash of tropical to the festival

Right next to where World Club Dome is held, the WCD Pool Sessions take place in a 200,000 square meter space. Transforming the German city into an urban version of Ibiza, Pool Sessions brings together international techno DJ and ineffable party vibes to a tropical setting.

Pack your sunscreen and bathing suit because this partying concept lives up to its reputation.

Pools, flamingo-shaped floats and partying crowds who take swimsuit fashion to the next level create the kind of experience you won’t soon forget.

World Club Dome’s creators hosted the world’s first ever Drive-In Rave

The COVID-19 slump did not stop those visionaries from creating a space where electronic music and social distancing lived in harmony. Following safety protocols put in place for the pandemic, the World Club Dome Drive-In came to life with a rather innovative and off-the-wall concept.

As the epitome of German engineering, the concept took the average parking lot but transformed it into a live-streaming event.

Cars filled with ravers tuned into the sets, transmitted by FM radio, just as they would in drive-in movie theatres.

World Club Dome has gone international

With the Las Vegas and Malta editions of BigCityBeats’ World Club Dome, the festival is no longer confined to just one location. Each edition hosts famous DJs and artists across all genres, staying true to its flagship version.

The music fest features a cooking-meets-music event

Blending the boundaries between a DJ and a chef, Club Kitchen, is a combination of music and haute cuisine.

A lifestyle event that became a core part of World Club Dome Las Vegas, Club Kitchen is a show in its own right.

During the live event, famous chefs, A-list bartenders, renowned celebrities and artists are united by one mission – to serve finger-licking plates.

World Club Dome held an Escalator Edition

In 2020, many live music festivals had to get creative and reinvent the hows and wheres of their traditional format. World Club Dome Festival’s Escalator Edition is one example of creativity. 

A DJ booth was built on top of the highest elevator (a whopping 30 meters) in Frankfurt’s MyZeil shopping center. Passers-by could enjoy live music, as the commercial complex was converted into a five-story club for the first time in history. 

World Club Dome brought their rave to the skies

In 2017, World Club Dome hosted an exclusive VIP rave for just 100 people on board of their World Club Jet.

There was of course plenty of food and drinks (mostly champagne) from the flight’s London departure to it’s first stop in Munich and last stop in Frankfurt. 

BigCityBeats created World Club Dome Zero Gravity

In March 2019, World Club Dome held an event where DJ Le Shuuk performed for an audience on a ZeroG 2.0 flight.

The audience, consisting of celebrities, influencers and astronauts became part of this historic event in cooperation with the European Space Agency (ESA) as they took off from Frankfurt Airport.
