Affenkäfig 2026

About this festival

Affenkäfig Festival is an open-air electronic rave takeover on the former airfield at Mendig in Rheinland-Pfalz, an hour from Cologne. Across a huge in-and-outdoor playground of hangars, bunkers and airstrip stages, the weekend runs on bouncy techno, punishing hard sounds, inflatable apes over the crowd and a tightly bonded ‘Affenkäfig’ crew camping, raving and chasing the sunrise together.
