Types of EDM Festivals: A Guide to Every Format
Mega festivals, camping weekends, day events, brand takeovers and indoor raves compared: what each format changes for the crowd, the cost and the music.


Maxim Schunk is a German DJ from the Düsseldorf area with over 250 million streams on Spotify alone. Inspired by his mother, he started playing the piano at the age of 6. At 14 he began producing digital music and in 2010 he attended a music school in Wuppertal.
In February 2018 he joined forces with Raven & Kreyn and BISHØP to release "My Name" — the breakthrough rework that dominated the Spotify charts. Previously supported by the late Avicii and EDM heavyweights Don Diablo, Tiësto, Blasterjaxx and Fedde Le Grand, Maxim Schunk has been a fixture of the electronic dance music scene ever since.
His 2022 release "Lay All Your Love On Me" alone has surpassed 115 million streams on Spotify, while follow-ups like "Sing It Back", "OMG" and "Lost in You" continue to clock millions every month. After his Embassy One release "Light Up", he returned in 2021 with new music — and hasn't stopped since.
