Panama Open Air Festival Officially Ends After Insolvency

Management abandonment has left creditors waiting for repayment

Das Panama Open Air Festival wird nach der Insolvenz nicht mehr stattfinden.
Ein Festival für elektronische Musik ist insolvent. Mit zehntausenden Besuchern gehört es zu den größten in NRW.

Overview

  • The festival filed for insolvency in early 2025, leading to the cancellation of its 2025 edition.
  • The official website and Instagram profile continue to advertise 2025 tickets despite the insolvency ruling.
  • Numerous creditors, including artists, technicians and caterers, remain unpaid under the ongoing insolvency proceedings.
  • Panama Open Air had drawn up to 25,000 visitors annually since its 2016 debut with headliners such as The Black Eyed Peas, Rita Ora and Tyga.
  • Lawyers say a revival is unlikely because large-scale events require roughly two years of preparation and significant financing.
