But just 20 acts have the distinction of being the most played during the fest. This group includes some of the same artists who graced the Parookaville 2022 lineup, including van Buuren, Tiësto, Yellow Claw, KSHMR and many who were not present at Parookaville but whose music was heavily rinsed nonetheless.
This list, made up entirely of male acts, leans heavily into EDM and trance artists and also features Latin acts like Farruko — whose 2021 hit “Pepas” dominated the dance charts and beyond — and J Balvin, who scored in the dance world with his 2021 Skrillex collab “In Da Getto.”
