NEW IN 2027

What's new at the next festival?

The most important news

We revise our offer from year to year, respond to your wishes and use your feedback to become even better. Here you can see what will change or be added at the next festival.

Renovation of the Hotel Colosseo

The Colosseo Hotel will undergo renovations in early 2027 and will therefore be completely closed, including during the Euro Dance Festival. This applies to all areas of the hotel, including the restaurants and bar, as well as the pool and sauna areas.

This means that the “Bar Colosseo” and “La Scala” venues are no longer in use, nor is the direct passage through the courtyard toward the “Bell Rock” hotel (Harvard Hall) and the Talent Academy Europa-Park. In Timetable , you Timetable some new rooms (as well as “old favorites”); there are also some new walking routes (see next point) and new signage; the after-show parties are moving to the Confertainment Center.

The festival information desk will be moved to the lobby of the "El Andaluz"hotel—which is located directly across from the "Colosseo," near the EP-Express train station.

Staggered room reservations

To accommodate as many booking requests as possible, room reservations will initially be available for the entire festival period. This will allow us to offer more options for shorter stays in a second phase:

A minimum stay of five nights per booking applies for the first 48 hours starting Monday, June 8, at 10:00 a.m.

Starting Wednesday, June 10, at 10:00 a.m., shorter stays can also be booked, subject to availability.

Important: To view the booking options, you must refresh the booking page in your browser once (at 10:00 a.m. on both June 8 and June 10).

New walking routes in the Hotels / Talent Academy area at Europa-Park

Due to renovations at the Colosseo Hotel, the walking routes between the Santa Isabel, Castillo Alcazar, and El Andaluz hotels, as well as the Bell Rock Hotel and the Talent Academy Europa-Park are currently longer than usual. The direct route through the Colosseo Hotel’s courtyard is closed due to construction work.

The new route is as follows: From the forecourt of the “El Andaluz” hotel, follow the sidewalk to the left, along the street toward the center Rust.

Cross the crosswalk at the bridge, then turn right onto the sidewalk leading to the "Bell Rock" hotel or the "Talent Academy Europa-Park."

It takes about 5–6 minutes to get to the "Bell Rock" hotel and about 9–10 minutes to get to the "Talent Academy Europa-Park."

Break times adjusted

We’re striking a balance: The breaks between workshops are now 25 minutes long, and the lunch break has been shortened to 80 minutes (previously 90 minutes) so that the workshop portion of the day doesn’t go on too long and everyone can start the evening program feeling relaxed.
The first workshop of the day begins at 9:30 a.m. The lunch break runs from 1:20 p.m. to 2:40 p.m. The last workshop of the day ends at 6:30 p.m.

Parking in the main parking lot

Starting with the 2025 season, the municipality Rust Europa-Park have expanded Europa-Park joint parking plan to cover all events—including those outside the peak season. Parking in the main parking lot costs 10 euros per car; this fee covers a single entry and exit. Payment is made on-site at the ticket machines.

In addition, guests staying at the hotel resorts may park for free in the hotel parking lots.
