Around 200,000 people hit the streets of Berlin on Saturday, July 9th, for Rave The Planet, the first event of its kind in the city in more than 15 years.

This was a very free parade, which featured over 100 DJs and a variety of floats from different crews and collectives.
Dr. Motte, the man responsible for Berlin’s first acid house parties in the late-1980s, and the Love Parade, co-founded Rave The Planet in 2020 to bring the massive street party back to Berlin for the first time since 2010.
"What a day. Unbelievable. We brought the spirit of the Love Parade back to Berlin. We did it, and with the best intentions. We, as the non-profit Rave the Planet organisation, worked long and hard on it. We all felt the rhythm and the bass in the streets of Berlin and the music brought us together." - said Motte to DJMAG.
The last official Love Parade in Berlin was in 2006. The events stopped worldwide several years later, after 21 people died in a crush at the Duisburg edition in 2010.
