Nirgendwo sonst sei die Atmosphäre so gut, nirgendwo sonst höre sich Musik besser an. Alle waren sie
schon da, die Großen des Rock- und Pop-Business. Es gab legendäre Konzerte, grandiose Shows, spannende
Sportevents. Es wurde gerockt, gekickt, geboxt und gesungen.
Und gefeiert: Denn seit 1993 ist auch MAYDAY hier zu Hause und begeisterte seitdem über eine halbe
Million Raver. Keine Veranstaltung in den Westfalenhallen benötigt mehr Fläche als MAYDAY. Keine
Veranstaltung betreibt einen höheren technischen Aufwand, setzt so viel Ton-, Licht-, Laser- und
Videotechnik ein.
