Paul van Dyk Teases ‘Made For More Open Air’ with Iconic 1998 Throwback
Paul van Dyk has shared an iconic Loveparade Berlin 1998 throwback clip while teasing his upcoming Made For More Open Air performance on June 6, 2026. The trance legend posted the video on social media, framing it as a bridge between past and future.
The clip captures Paul van Dyk dropping ‘For An Angel’ at Loveparade 1998. It remains one of the most-watched trance moments in dance music history, with hundreds of thousands of ravers spilling through the streets of Berlin. The track has soundtracked countless mainstage moments since.
“Berlin Flashback. Loveparade 1998. Berlin Flashforward. Made For More Open Air am 6.6.26,” he wrote. Then he asked his audience who was there for the original and who plans to be there for the upcoming one.
Paul van Dyk will play the Made For More Open Air at AMRTD Festival Gelände on June 6, 2026. The Berlin-aligned booking continues the trance icon’s run of home-city performances.
Beyond the booking, the throwback nod underlines the cultural arc between 1998 and 2026. Loveparade defined a generation of European rave culture before it eventually wound down. The Berlin trance scene has since cycled through revivals, with younger producers drawing heavily on the late-90s palette. Paul van Dyk sitting at the centre of both eras feels right.
For trance fans, the announcement is a chance to see a defining voice of the genre on Berlin grounds again. Tickets and full event details will land via the official Made For More Open Air channels. Find more from Paul van Dyk via his official site.
